I ended up watching this movie because I was planning to watch the sequel Retardead.   I watched both but I liked this one better than Retardead (which was about special ed zombies).  

Monsturd is a movie in the tradition of Ed Wood and Herschell Gordon Lewis.  More the former while Retardead was more the latter.   Monsturd was about a serial killer that is transformed by an evil doctor's serum into a giant monster turd.  They call him shit-man in the film and that's exactly what he is.  

The acting in this movie is bad, the effects pretty bad too.  The shit-man costume is a hoot.   But that is the spirit of the movie and it all goes together fairly well.  And I have to tell you if you're looking for a movie that will teach you a lot about low budget productions, this is a good one.   I actually thought as a production Monsturd was pretty solid.  Though there's more than a few nuts and corn in it too.

And while the movie might not be a laugh riot, there's some great lines and humour in it.   Like when the two deputies do their say no to drugs routine with a hippie dummy. Or the line "Flies. No flies. Flies hurt the shit man. Flies try to eat the shit man."

Overall if you like shitty movies and a lot of toilet humour then this is definitely a movie to watch.  I'm recommending it.  It's available on YouTube in full.

You worry me, sometimes...

I mentioned this movie in my first post here, I think. In a thread about funny & offensive movie titles if I remember. It is a good example of a no-to-low budget fun fest thats made really well.

Guess what - as I remember - the cinematography at the start of the movie was really quite lovely. Alot of fun gags and yes - the special effects are quite good under the circumstances (its a movie about a a giant stool).

I love this kind of cinema (see my user name). Got this on DVD somewhere. Think its in the attic. Needs a rewatch.

That's gotta be the best review of a movie ever.

Some things should be kept in the attic.  That DVD is one thing.  Grandpop is another...

Ew.  Reminds me of a scene in Poultrygeist, that takes place in the bathroom of a fast food joint.  Sorry, too icky and juvenile for me.

That said, I seem to remember enjoying Basketcase for what it was.  Compared with the plot line of this, it was positively elegant...

While clearly somewhat inspired by Troma, the movie did not have that trademark Troma edge to it.  And while it was icky and juvenile in spots,  it was no where near as icky and juvenile as Poultrygeist (which Lloyd Kaufman considers his greatest work - listen to his interview on Simply Radio).  

I think Poultrygeist is one of the better Troma films, although I could do without all the singing. It's decent fun.

I think Class of Nuke em High is probably my fave Troma. The ones they produce 'in-house' and make themselves are usually silly enough to enjoy with a beer. Alot of the indie films they have chosen to distribute are pretty unwatchable, however.

I remember seeing this awhile back, but I couldn't really get into it.

I'm a huge fan of films that are so bad they're good, and I would obsessively rent Troma films when I was in high school.  I don't know why, because I hated the majority of them.  I think I just kept getting sucked in by the ridiculous plot lines and cover art.

Yes. In my youth (and ok I will admit, it even in adulthood) I have constantly been sucked in by cover art and synopsis. I'm a sucker for it. You wouldn't beleive the crap I have in my collection. No regrets though, In a pile of dung there is an occasional diamond.

My personal favourites are badly produced Italian knockoffs that came out in the 80's. As soon as Mad Max and Escape from New York made a buck the Italian industry went into overdrive and created some amazingly awful post-apocalyptic nonsense.

Another big passion of mine is the Italian zombie knock offs that came out after Dawn of the Dead.

I'm gonna apologise in advance for when I post one of my screenplays here.
