This is what you would get if you crossed early David Lynch with DEVO on a six-dollar budget - another disappointment in the "shock" film category - the combined videos of Australian industrial band SPK didn't do a whole lot for me. There were a few amusing moments, but overall this was a barely watchable snooze-fest.
The video contains several SPK "songs" set to a bunch of different footage. The first part is a bunch of indecipherable visual "static" that is tedious and serves very little purpose. Then we get to some "live performance" footage, that's nearly equally dull. Eventually there's some more of the band's music over-top of some pretty standard autopsy footage. This is gross if that sort of stuff bothers you - I didn't find it to be anything I hadn't seen in one of the many true-death films out there. Later on, we get some dead cat mutilation (for all you animal lovers out there) - and then we finally get to the one worthwhile scene of this mess - a scene in a morgue where a severed head is "forced" to fellate a mangled penis. This was twistedly laugh-worthy enough to raise the "film" a few notches. After this, we go BACK to the same autopsy footage, and then finally to a scene of some jackass who's naked and painted black in a field who stabs and disembowels a previously dead sheep...fun...
I don't get most of these experimental/art-house types of films, nor do I typically find them all that "shocking". PETA-heads will want to steer clear due to the cat/sheep mutilation - the rest is nothing special (except the blowjob scene...that one's priceless)...5/10, but only for the b.j. - nothing else really notable in this one...for "extreme" film completists only...
