Father's Day is the funniest exploitation film ever, and not in an unintentional, so-bad-it's-good sort of way. Father's Day is a perfect black comedy, and the mix of hardcore exploitation and surreal comedy is measured perfectly. Both the comedy and the violence are exaggerated to their limits, and I have no qualms about saying that this might be the most violent film I've ever seen. This is an exploitation for the most die-hard fans of the genre.

Astron-6 have a made a post-modern exploitation film that borrows heavily from the horror of the 70s and 80s. The main character, Ahab, has is costume borrowed from Thriller, and throughout the movie you'll notice a lot of visual reference to classic horror…

Have you ever wished you could go back in time so you can experience something for the first time again? The first gig you ever went to? The first time you tasted sugar? Your first blow job?

Well I never thought I'd experience the same feeling I had when I first watched Bad Taste - until now!

Erupting from the five collective minds of Astron-6 comes this ridiculously imaginative action fantasy with enough toe-curling gore to sate any bloodthirsty appetite.

But it's the sense of adventurous fun and downright disregard of all shackles that tend to bind too many filmmakers these days, that cast me back to that day when I first stared gaping-mouthed at Peter Jackson's firstborn.

The inventiveness…

Part 15 of my Tell Me What To Watch Decembuary - nominated by Jim Drew.

I hate Troma. No, you don't understand. I REALLY hate Troma. I have a rule that I will not accept a film that is stupider than I am. Being deliberately stupid isn't an excuse either! As such, I wasn't looking forward to Father's Day at all.

I know it's not really a Troma film but, well, it is, isn't it? It started really promisingly with an amusing and really well done pastiche of late night cable TV spots as well as a fantastic credits sequence with some awesome music. If the film had stopped there, I would probably have given it 3 and a half…

Well after a long while of putting it off, I finally got around to watching this, and what a treat it was! This is some goofy and ultraviolent grindhouse gold. Originally I thought this would be like a take on the film "Mothers Day" also by Troma, but this was completely different and much more zany.

Ahab spent his whole life searching for the mysterious "Fuchman" who violently and ritualistically rapes and murders fathers. He is coaxed out of a "retirement" of sorts, by a teenage gay hooker and a frustrated priest, who are also after the "fathers day killer".

This may seem strange for me to say but this film was much more violent than I expected (and trust…

In all my years of a horror fanatic and throughout experience it hasn't happened to me very often (not once, in fact) but right now I'm completely … utterly … speechless! I anticipated something quite bonkers, but "Father's Day" is truly the most demented, twisted, sickest and derailed genre outing that I ever watched. And I'm glad that I watched it on a big screen, at the Brussels International Festival of Fantastic Films, together with a chock-full theater of equally avid and enthusiast freaks like myself. The crowd literally went wild upon being exposed to such a massive amount of gore, perversity, craziness and smut! This movie truly embodied the absolute most fun you can experience at a festival.
