Don't Believe the Hype

It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

We see the killer briefly as a happy child then 20 years later as a killer. The gore effects are lame by today's standards using fake parts and pig guts. The blood spray was also fake looking. There wasn't much of a plot, random people being in the woods getting killed and mutilated. About 30 minutes or so we get some kind of Satanic explanation, that didn't explain much.Guide: F-word, Fake organ nudity and mutilation.

And yes, to state it clearly, this movie is exactly what the title says. This movie is about K. the butcher shitter, who walks around in the countryside and in the forest killing people, coupled with two scenes I guess showing how his abusive mother made him into a psycho killer. And that pretty much sums it all up.Before I begin the trashing, I want to say that I actually liked this movie, and would recommend it to anyone who can appreciate no-budget splatter, who can look past all the blunders made by Schnaas and appreciate the violence, the effort and all Schnaas' contributions to German low budget gore.Yes, there is a huge amount of gore in this movie, but the fx is so bad (somewhat creative however) that there is no way to take it seriously. Also there is a huge weirdness factor in this film. Like the scene where K. is a child where there is some random demon guy who talks to him while he is locked in the basement, a scene where K. find a crucified Christ in the woods and decides to crawl into his stomach and maybe weirdest of all, a more than three minute scene of just looking through the windshield of a car while driving on a small dirt road in nighttime, while a bad heavy metal song is played in the background. To ad to the weirdness, you would expect there to be some comedy in a film where the name of the lead is K. the butcher shitter. There is none. There is also some weird image filter used sometimes, which makes the image grainy and the framing choppy (I don't know what the effect is called, but the movement looks kind of like a slow stroboscope), which is just plain annoying and serves no purpose whatsoever. Schnaas also clearly knew nothing about editing and camera work since almost every scene has confusing changes in perspective and the cutting is many times abominably bad (remember, this is Schnaas' first movie and he has bettered himself since).So why would I still recommend this film? First of all, is's extremely violent and just for that I think it's worth seeing. If you can look past how bad all the gore looks, there is plenty to spare. You will never get bored, because the violent scenes are extremely frequent throughout the movie. Also, the weirdness doesn't have to be a bad thing. It is actually quite funny. Also, even though he didn't speak one word, I liked K. the butcher shitter, as he is quite freaky. Furthermore Schnaas is a guy who clearly is passionate about what he is doing, and every gore hound should appreciate that. So this is a really bad film, but it's a fun bad film. If, after reading this review, you still feel like seeing it, you will probably like it.

Wow... that's all that came out of my mouth after I watched the first of the series. This film is single handedly the most disgusting movie ever made, and I loved it. There is virtually no storyline at all, just Karl the Butcher running around in the countryside brutally slaughtering unsuspecting victims. Now, as this movie has no storyline it does pull off certain feelings when you are viewing it that make you feel rather uncomfortable. The music is very appropriate and very creepy and the camera work is actually kind of cool in a very low budget type of way. There are 2 sequels to this movie and it seems that most people like the sequels more but I enjoyed the first one much more than the others. Probably because of the brutality of the murders in the first one were so harsh in comparison and also because there wasn't any real storyline. This movie gets a 9/10 from me.

After seeing the title of this movie a man can't help but be a little intrigued, so I picked it up. Wow, and is that saying right..."curiosity kills the cat" and it nearly killed me. This is by far one of the most sick and twisted movies I've ever laid eyes on. The movie is about the Karl "The Butcher," an unrelenting mass murderer who shows no mercy to his victims. Judging by the title, you can imagine some of the things he does to his victims...no nevermind, you can't because a sane person in their right mind wouldn't think of the sick ways to kill a person. 'Violent Shit' is filled with dismemberments, disembowelings, castrations, and even feces eating and it's some of the most sickening stuff I've ever seen. If you're into extremely low-budget (this movie is shot with a camcorder) and torture films, this pointless gorefest is the movie for you! Otherwise, if you're easily offended, avoid at all costs or else you will die of a heart attack after the first 10 seconds of the film.
