NIKOS THE IMPALER
PLOT-An ancient barbarian returns to life to wreak havok in present-day New
York City.
VIOLENCE-Cartoonishly gory decapitations, torn-off limbs, guts ripped out,
you name it. Some stuff was so gory I wasn't even sure what the hell I was
seeing.
SEX/NUDITY-One totally naked shower scene, courtesy of the incomparable
Darian Caine.
WHY I WATCHED IT-I've been reading about Andreas Schnaas's films for over 10
years, and figured I ought to check one out finally. The cast in this one,
and the premise, were too good to pass up.
THE DOPE-This movie is nuts! Remember "Weird Al" Yankovic's goofy (and sadly
underrated) 1989 film UHF? In one absurdly violent part, "Conan The
Librarian" cuts a poor kid in half for returning a book late. Take that, and
add a dash of BILL & TED'S EXCELLENT ADVENTURE, in which Genghis Khan is
shown chopping off mannequins' heads in a shopping mall, and you have a
rough idea of what NIKOS THE IMPALER is like. Add horror and stir, season to
taste. The first half of the film is spent inside the NYC art gallery where
Nikos first returns to life. It was awesome to see him hack the snobby-ass
art critics to pieces (woulda been sweet to see him puree a movie critic or
two as well) and basically kill off all but two of the characters introduced
in the first hour of the movie! To my delight, the female lead in NIKOS is
none other than Felissa Rose, known to horror fans as "Angela" in the
original SLEEPAWAY CAMP. She's a great actor, and adds a substantial amount
of quality to this production. The second half of NIKOS is where things get
really weird, though. When he leaves the gallery, his bloody rampage
continues on the streets. He uses his (unexplained) magical powers to bring
to life random characters from a few movie boxes he sees in a video store
window! I shit you not. So in addition to a murderous barbarian running
amuck, we now have a zombie, a sexy vampiress, Adolf Hitler, and two ninjas!
It was at that moment I knew this baby was gonna kick ass. Total surprise, I
love that. Off-the-wall, gory as hell, and fun at maximum volume, NIKOS THE
IMPALER delivers like any good b-movie ought to.
MEMORABLE SCENES-There are several brief cameo appearances by today's indie
horror royalty, including Debbie Rochon, Lloyd Kaufman, Tina Krause, and
Darian Caine Also, look for Jasi Cotton Lanier as a police officer.
NOTES-Right now, the only way to get this movie is to fork over $35 for a
limited-edition DVD. Although there was no number on the packaging, we're
told that a limited edition of 6,666 copies are available. There's a lot of
extras, including commentary by Schnaas, a couple music videos, some
interview and on-set footage (featuring a lot of German being spoken and
unfortunately no english subtitles), trailers for other Schnaas films, plus
one of his older shorts, and a big-ass photo gallery. Should keep you busy
for a while.
Qualcuno di voi lo ha già visto?
