To me, this movie is perfection.

Did you people see the same film I saw?

Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%

The movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.

This film gives independent and guerrilla film-making a bad name. Truly a no talent affair across the boards. I've seen high school project movies that are a better caliber. Pure and utter crap not in the same vein as Ed Wood or Andy Milligan but true excrement. The lead "actor" instead of being evil or fearsome instead inspires guffaws of laughter as we watch him mince around naked or in lingerie with his junk exposed. This refugee from the Village People also appears to be a semi-clubfoot in reality. Watching him lope around and run with that weird gait indicates this was not an affectation of character but a real handicap. His many rants on sodomy appear to be from real life and not from script. I noticed he is given credit for additional dialog so maybe..... This is pure caca, wait, it's what I call "leavins'-the stuff that remains in the toilet bowl after the flush has completed.

Schizophreniac: The Whore Mangler (1997) * 1/2 (out of 4) Harry Russo (John Giancaspro) is a cocaine sniffing maniac who gets his thrills by cutting up, beating and raping women he feels to be dirty. Sometimes he does the killing and then the raping so you know he has a few screws loose. He appears to also be getting orders from a doll known as "Rubberneck". This isn't the greatest film ever made and it's certainly not a good one but I must admit to having a nostalgia trip down memory lane. Becoming a horror fan during the 1980's saw a big line of films being released straight to VHS and you never really knew what you were going to get. That's somewhat the case for this film as it was shot on a digital camera and probably features a budget of under a few thousand dollars. What the film lacks in money it tries to make up with all out craziness. Giancaspro gives it his all as he does on cray thing after another be it dancing around naked in a parking garage or doing some sort of strange dance in a blond wig. The funniest scene is when he goes through a Wendy's drive-thru and asks to order some Big Macs. It's clear this shot was "real" and it was rather hilarious. The "whore mangling" aspects of the film are mostly bad special effects but they always try to go an extra step including one scene where a nipple is cut off and eaten. Yeah, it's that type of movie. Again, this is a pretty bad movie but you have to respect the fact that these guys actually got one made. Only the most jaded people will want to check this out even with all the nudity.

SCHIZOPHRENIAC: THE WHORE MANGLER is another example of what happens when you get a bunch of untalented people together to make an "extreme" horror film. Any sort of acting, production, storyline, FX, etc...go out the window in an effort to create "shock-value". Now don't get me wrong - I consider myself a connoisseur of "shock" films, and the sleazier/gorier/nastier the better - but it's still nice to see SOME sort of talent from SOMEONE involved in the film.SCHIZOPHRENIAC chronicles the life of Harry Russo - a drug-addicted freak-show who takes orders to kill from his ventriloquist's dummy, Rubberneck. He goes on a few sprees killing hookers and other random people, and screaming about how much he hates "hoo-uhs" (that's "whores" for those of you that don't speak New York-ese...) and how he wants to rape them in the ass. There are a few weak necrophilia scenes, very little gore, and some nudity to mix things up a bit - but nothing that you haven't seen in a better film...The only redeeming thing that I can find in this retarded film are the often (unintentionally?) hilarious screaming-fits from our main man, Harry. He goes on-and-on-and-on about wanting to kill everyone and do them in the ass, and it really becomes quite comical after a while. In fact, I'm almost tempted to believe that there's supposed to be some sort of homo-erotic undertone to this film, with all the ass talk and constant shots of Harry running around with his dong hangin' out. In all honesty, that joker is nekkid more in this film then the few chicks that show some T-and-A (and some full-frontal, for good measure). SCHIZOPHRENIAC is mildly amusing as a 1-time watch, but I can really only recommend this to those that want to be able to say that they watched a film called SCHIZOPHRENIAC: THE WHORE MANGLER. To be honest - the title, by far - is the best thing about this trash...A generous 3.5/10

This film is like marmite. You either love it or you hate it. If you go into this film expecting a proper film with decent production values, a good plot and great characters you'll hate it. If you go into this film expecting a low budget slasher you'll probably hate it.If you go into this film expecting to see one of the most deranged characters ever put to film in the form of Harry Russo you will love it. John Giancaspro is absolutely brilliant in his over the top portrayal of the insane, murderous coke fiend.The special effects are abysmal at best but really, who cares? If you're the kind of person who's prepared to watch a film Schizophreniac: The Whore Mangler you've undoubtedly seen scores of horror films filled with gore. With the budget this film was made for even if they had tried it probably would've mediocre at best. I'd much rather be able to laugh at something abysmal than be unaffected by the mediocre.To sum it up, you'll probably hate this film but if you're one of the few who decide to see it anyway it'll become the best thing since sliced bread #2 I hate marmite.
