hellofhorrors The Backyard is about kids who wrestle in their backyards (gardens) mostly in America but also in England. It follows several characters with names such as Sic, Heartless and Chaos. These guys are extreme. They wrestle with hardcoreweapons - the most dangerous being fire.What is startling about this film is that their parents all support them. You'll watch the kids attack each other in tremendous battles and while there are quite a few matches it never gets old. My favourite moment was probably when one of the wrestlers The Lizard's interviews for the WWE. You really feel that you want him to make it.A lot of people have said that this is a tough film to watch because of the violence. Well i think they're all cry babies. They're also probably people who hate wrestling. Mr. PPV Rob Van Dam makes an appearance and is seen in his own backyard.This is actually extended in the extras on the DVD. I learned a tremendous amount about wrestling and determination, and in fact about America. It is at time horrifying but overall very, very entertaining,

entraptheyes For fans of Beyond The Mat this violent sequel will be welcomed with great applause. It delivers on every aspect upgrading the violence quotient to an extreme level that isn't however suitable for children. This is crazy stuff but the story of The Lizard is heart-warming and uplifting. I was gripped to the screen throughout and only wish it was longer.

twodaysonopen This is essentially kids beating the living hell out of each other for the fun of it. I expected to sit down and watch a straight forward documentary , but this film is far from it. I think there is a new wave of young filmmakers who are really daring, and this film certainly ranks up there. People in the audience were actually laughing throughout the film, and there was a huge applause at the end (am thinking this could be The Rocky Horror of Docs and screen at midnight theaters for years to come!!!) The filmmakers show a real passion for their subjects, which allows them to get close enough to them in a really subtle way. This is a world I didn't know existed and it is truly remarkable how sometimes films can present something in such a way that it takes your breath away. The scenes in Arizona are shocking, yet the scenes in England are stunning. It is also quite funny and shockingly compelling at other times. Two very high thumbs up, but not recommended for kids.

garlicbreath57 This is a really, really violent film, and I loved every minute of it. I have never been a wrestling fan but I must confess that I loved watching these guys fight in their backyards. The staple scene is shocking and the scene where the guy buys mouse-traps is hilarious. There are so many scenes that are really, really funny. I think The Lizard is awesome! and I wish him the best of luck in the future. I think this is one of the best documentaries I've ever seen
