 GUT
PILE (Sub Rosa)
Horror. 60 minutes. Rated 17+ for violence. As Dan anxiously waits for a
10 point buck (that’s man/hunter talk for big ass deer) to cross his
path so he can blow the unarmed buck away with his really big gun, he
grows more and more upset that once again he will leave the woods empty
handed. Suddenly, Dan hears a
something and being the seasoned hunter he is, he blindly shoots into the
woods ahead of him. Happily and gleefully, Dan jaunts through the forest
to retrieve his bounty. However, Dan’s giddiness sours as he realizes he
just shot some poor dude in the face, killing him…dead. All bummed out,
Dan looks around and realizes that he, along with the dead dude, is in
shear isolation. Yes! Dan buries the body and goes home. One year later,
Dan returns with two pals, Mike and Bob, to hunt.
While Mike and Bob screw around at the cabin, Dan curiously
shuffles off to see if his makeshift grave has been disturbed. Yippe! Not
a thing has touched the grave. Feeling as if everything is all right, Dan
returns to the cabin to resume the normal activities associated with
hunting; playing cards, joking around, shooting guns, looking at porno
mags, and most importantly, drinking beers. As nighttime falls, odd things
start to occur; gross smells (other than the normal gross smells of three
men in a cabin), plumbing backing up, weird noises (other than the normal
weird noises of three men in a cabin), etc.
All these odd happenings finally lead up to the three men
scrambling for their lives as something from the woods wants them all
dead. Hey, I just thought of something; in this movie, the hunters have
become the hunted! Wow, I’m one clever dude.
First things first, Gut Pile
has an Evil Dead feel to it in more ways than one. The story is fairly
similar, but the real comparison can be seen in how this movie was shot.
Camera held low as the demon’s point of view, streaking about the
wood’s ground at a rapid pace, and pounding on it’s victims. There is
also the presence of Evil Dead type humor going on within Gut Pile as
well. You’ll love what the demon thing does to Dan! This movie took
forever to be completed from start to finish, and I can see the positive
results of taking so much time. The story is good, although nothing really
all that unique. The acting is good, the lighting and sound is great, and
the gore effects suffice. Yep, thats Ron Bonk (founder of b-movie.com and
The B-Movie Hall of Fame) as Mike. Yep again, that’s Sasha Graham
(B-Movie Starlet) making a quickie as the Cop. Although this is nothing
you care about or can relate with; many moons ago when I was working in
construction, I use to call this guy Shitpants because he always stunk of
crap. Well, when Mike called Bob Shitpants in this movie..ahhh the
memories. After the feature presentation, there is a 15 minute or so
featurette on the making of Gut Pile. Cool b flic! – Denis Sheehan
