DreamReaper

Dream Reaper (2006)

The Metal band Dream Reaper led by Willy Nutsack ends up attracting the attention of a being from the Nether Realm, the Dream Reaper. After appearing to Willy in a dream and trying to convince him to break up his band, the Dream Reaper begins killing off all of Willy's band mates. Things are looking grim, when finally a mysterious visitor, Gargamel (not the one from the Smurfs), shows up and gives Willy the means to fight the Dream Reaper and save the world. Will he succeed? Probably not, but you'll have to find out for yourself.

It's hard to know where to start with a movie like this, but I think I'm going to begin with Masturbation. This movie has more fake masturbation in it than I thought was possible. They put a lot of time and effort into making these scenes and it shows. The attention to detail, the facial expressions, the props... these guys could teach classes on the subject I'm sure. Then there are the special effects. These guys can do a lot with some Karo syrup, red food coloring, paper towels and perhaps a melon of some kind. The effects don't look great, but when you consider what they had to work with they did a pretty good job. The acting is better than most ultra low budget movies made by a group of random friends in somebody’s basement and there are some pretty funny gags a few of which don't involve masturbation at all.

I'm grading on a curve here since it's a truly independent, practically no budget movie with no professional actors. Really, it's not that bad. If I was a bigger fan of masturbation jokes I think I'd have liked it a lot better, but it was still pretty funny all the way through and I never got bored or wished for it to end sooner than it did. If you are a big fan of Independent movies... or masturbation... you should give this movie a try.

Lloyd Kaufman had to use his lips like a woman to get a copy of this flick, but all you have to do is visit http://www.hackmovies.com/movies.html
