Gayly Dreadful

it's a madcap exercise in hilarity and gross outs that had me laughing in glee and surprise.

Cult Australian horror film (actually from 1993) superbly directed by polymath artist Philip Brophy. Don't miss it! A fave of Tarantino.

Father Son Holy Gore

Underneath the gooey gore is a scathing satire about the fitness craze, specifically of the '80s and '90s, which hasn't gotten much better today, if at all.

Rated: 3/5

Philip Brophy's outrageous, uproarious body horror comedy returns Aussie suburbia to the primal ooze.

Story threads appear and disappear without warning in this morass of confusion and entertaining schlock that manages to just creep into "so bad it's good" territory for me. A vaguely Cronenbergian satire horror with a lot more laughs than scares.

‘Body Melt' is a Satirical Slapstick Splatter Fest!

This is gross, campy, ridiculous, absurd, gory, nutty, hilarious, and the nineties techno music and computer voices only help to create this zany world of psycho-pharma induced crazed Melbourne. Not to be missed for anyone who loves good camp.

Body Melt intenta jugar en la liga de grandes clásicos splatter como Braindead o Street Trash pero por desgracia carece totalmente del encanto de estas...sí tiene algunos elementos que la habrían conseguido encumbrar, como un excelente maquillaje y una falta total de decencia (algo totalmente necesario), pero su historia está tan mal contada y desfragmentada que vas perdiendo el interes a cada nueva escena, y cuando llegan los momentos álgidos (el gore por supuesto), son pocos y no tan divertidos como podrían haber sido...una pena.
