Taeter City (2012)

Italian splatter kings Necrostorm scored a cult hit with their first film Adam Chaplin (2011) a combination of Manga/Anime classic 'Fist of the North Star', Dark fantasy 'The Crow' and and OTT splatter crime flick 'Das Komabrutale Duell'. This their second feature Taeter City has a similar extreme splatter style but this time goes the way of the retro Sci-fi Horror sub-genre. Set in the future the world is controlled by a Governmental dictatorship known simply as “The Authority” who regularly remind the populace through public announcements “Respect the Authority and Laws and you’ll be just fine”. Crime rate is nonexistent in Taeter City thanks to radio waves named the Zeed System that targets would be criminals and cause them to kill themselves in very nasty ways they then are processed at mega slaughter houses and have their flesh turned into food and blood into energy drinks which are then sold to law abiding citizens in Authority ran McDonald-esq restaurants know as Taeter Burger. Eating and farming animals is totally outlawed punishable by… Well you get it! Everything is going peacefully in Taeter City until the radio waves have an abstract reaction on one fellow played by Director, FX guy and head of Necrostorm the awesome looking Giulio De Santi, instead of Suicidal he becomes Homicidal, develops super strength and can admit rays from his mouth that turns others into Homicidal/suicidal Super killers. When a scientist explains this he adds “Don’t ask me why, it’s Fucking nonsense, it’s all Fucking Nonsense” Yes Doc it most certainly is but all the better for it. This film doesn’t really play for laughs it is presented very seriously and is all the more hilarious and fun because of this. This film promises “An 80’s Movies Vibe, insane technology, Manga style crazy action, Adrenaline, Violence, Blood, Blood and again Blood” and boy it delivers on all those fronts. Delivering some of the most brutal creative Splatter action ever caught on film it has to be seen to be believed these effects are achieved by combining Practical with CGI which works a treat. Gore lovers will squeal with delight at the many graphic head crushings and Chainsaw dismemberments! 👻
