maggotoftherottingflesh Blood, breasts, and cleaning products rain supreme in this soon to be classic film. Filmed with entertainment in mind, this gore flick has lots of sick humor! There isn't much justice my words can do. Just see it. This is is total B-Movie. B= best, breast, blood, bludgeoning, and bucket of cleaning solution. See it! The characters are unique and fun, the girls are hot or at least highly killable as some of the dudes scream like girls and get the plunger! Warning contains some of the best video ever seen of girls "having fun." Was seen when they first played this online. Is a must see film for parties and other large gatherings where feeding off one another's reactions makes it over the top.
mrmalechild I loved this movie. I wonder how many of the people who have voted have actually watched it. Also surprised to see the stats so far show women enjoyed it more than men, being that it has qualities that most male b-movie fans look for in their films. There is plenty of originality. Most b-films do a lot of the same stunts for their gore and comedy. But this one has quite a few new nice surprises that will have you coughing up your liver from laughter in some scenes. One of my favorite scenes is where the prostitute's head is still attached to the guys crotch after it has been cut off (don't worry, you don't see his pecker). The sound effects when it is pulled off is just hilarious. The film's sound effects were done really nice and often times really helps make the scene.Another scene is one that involves Lloyd Kauffman, President of Troma, whom plays the bum in the back alley in this movie. When Lloyd looses his arm, he doesn't react like you think he would, not like most people do in a b-movie in this situation. He does and says something that had me rolling into the floor and out of my chair with laughter. I didn't expect that by far. Can't say what it is, that would be a spoiler and I already gave you one of those with the Prostitute scene. The movie as you can tell revolves around the Janitors. They start off as friends but then there is a twist and stand off in the end. Can't say more than that without giving away details. But for the most part, in this movie, if you are a Janitor, then you stick together. They turn janitoring into a brotherhood, in a very comical way. Imagine Al Bundy in Married With Children working in his shoe store. Well that is what these Janitors are like and how their job is looked at by the other characters in the movie. These Janitors also pretty much look at their jobs and treat their jobs the way Al and the other shoe salesmen in Married With Children did. I really think Al and his job was a major influence to this aspect of the film. Also if you are familiar with Sickening Conceptions, then you will be happy to know that TJ Nordaker is behind this (among other people) and even does a scene or 2 in it. My only complaint is that I wish it had been longer. That is because I enjoyed what I saw so much that I wanted more. But it is long enough for most I presume. I just hope that a directors extended cut will be done for it's official release on DVD. I own one of the first 50 copies of this DVD and if their are any left, I suggest you get one while you can. Just remember that this is a b-movie and that it doesn't try to be anything more. Actually that is part of the beauty of it. Because any other type of film couldn't get by with some of the things this does and this does those things so very well.
Tom Willett (yonhope) Hi, All Gore fans,No, I didn't say Al Gore. All gore. Good gore. More gore.This is a film that I believe was a remake of The Sound of Music but slightly different. This time Julie Andrews is a janitor who is played by a bearded guy. His partner is a Dick Van Dyke look-a-like but who sounds more like Howard Stern after gargling Pennzoil.The movie begins with a clever title sequence, well edited, and has correct spelling. There is a killing before the title and then it becomes violent with nice music here and there. Good comedy seminal fluid inserts.Costuming is very well done. Acting is superb, but does not detract from the occasional bloodspurt. Death scenes are funny.Lionel the Janitor is sort of a combination plate of Jonathan Winters, Charles Bronson, Hulk Hogan, Leo Gorcey, Steven Segal and a touch of Shirley Temple. His partner is more of a cross between Dolph Lundgren and Tex Ritter with a voice somewhat reminiscent of Mr. Ed.This is a very funny slasher movie that is well made. I hope the team works on some more stuff soon. Perhaps a western.Tom Willett
GMBOBSCI It was a lot better than I expected. The dark comedy was great, and there was also the type of humor that I think mainstream audiences would enjoy as well. This movie can be compared to Troma films because of all the sex and violence, but in my opinion, The Janitor seems to have more style than a Troma film would. Some of the shots and angles and such are really creative, and the editing was quite smooth. By some of the choices made with music and characters and whatnot, you could tell that one of the directors was influenced by the Coen Brothers. The Troma influence is probably a lot more obvious. Hell, Lloyd Kaufman even shows up as a bum...with a Troma poster on the dumpster he lives by. And with the line "That's my right leg!" which some punk yells after the janitor rips his leg off, there's another apparent Troma connection...in Toxic Avenger 4, the same line is yelled by a guy who gets HIS right leg ripped off. For a first feature, these guys show a lot of professionalism in their work. Fans of horror/comedy should definitely check this movie out!
