 IGOR
AND THE LUNATICS (Troma)
DVD. Horror. Approx 90 minutes. NR, gore, nudity. Sixteen years ago, cult
leader David was sent to prison for murder and other acts of mayhem. Now,
he has been released and getting back together with a few of his faithful
followers to continue where they left off. Ah-ha! Things will not be easy
as one of David’s past followers (I forget his name-that’s how
memorable this movie is) is determined to stop any future plans of
destruction.
Either the makers of this “film” where bad at their jobs, or
they wanted the viewer to think they were bad. This movie is one big fat
mess, but I’m unsure if it’s meant to be that way. The director of
continuity must have been smoking crack because things are so sloppy. One
shot will show some dude with blood all over his face, then one second
later, the guy’s cleaner than Mr. Clean’s shiny bald head. The audio
volume is so jumpy you’ll hurt your finger screwing with the volume
control on your remote control. If you don’t have a remote control, just
forget it. On to the movie itself. First off, the leader of the cult is
named David and Igor is actually one of his followers, albeit his wackiest
follower. Shouldn’t the movie be called “David and the Lunatics?”
And what’s the deal with people just wondering around? The lunatics will
be walking around the woods, and all of a sudden, the female star will be
there for no reason. Same thing with a little boy. Weak. Although, they
did kill the boy and children never get killed in horror movies. One the
positive side, you’ll cry laughing when you see David butt end a chick
in the face with a pitchfork. I swear it is the funniest thing in the
world. There are a slew of extras included on the DVD, but nothing worth
getting into. In my opinion, although Igor had its very few moments,
you’d be better off doing something else, anything else. – Denis
