"Pervert!" is a glorious tribute to the films of the grind-house past.
**SPOILERS**
Arriving to help out his father, Hezekiah, (Darrell Sandeen) with his desert ranch, college student James, (Sean Andrews) is instead constantly being hit on by his wife Cheryl, (Mary Carey) and haunted by vicious dreams. As the two are caught with their affair, she mysteriously disappears along with a succession of women visiting the ranch. When Patty, (Juliette Clarke) arrives to help him solve the disappearances, they find the truth behind the rash of slayings, and it makes them flee in terror.
The News: This was such a fun film that it's hard to really convey how. The atmosphere present here is what's most noticeable at first. Absolutely nothing in here is taken seriously and just basically is played out for laughs. The film is full of scenes that are just too wacky to be taken seriously, and Carey is at the front of it. From hilarious scenes such as a her simulating oral sex at the dinner table with buttery corn on the cob, or the part of the outdoor bathing scene that has her soaping down as father and son try to eat breakfast and talk, the fact that Carey does so well is not a bad thing, and she makes the most of when she's on-screen. The fact that she does indeed strip down and show off at the drop of a hat is very well received and it turns on the sexploitation side of it very well. All of the other women in here are not in her shadow, and are just as willing to do the same, and the arousal that they get is a refreshing sight to see. All of them have a great scene that really amps up the nudity of the film, and picking just one as the best one is nearly impossible, due to the fact that it's going to be individual preference. Outside of the nudity and hot women, this can turn into a really ripping horror film when it wants to. There is one really impressive sequence where a woman is killed on-screen by who she assumes is her romantic interest, but instead is viciously slaughtered. It plays out pretty creepy and is the one really creepy scene in the whole film. There's attempts for it to be more suspense, but that's the one sequence that really gets the most out of it's suspense attempts. The gore is nice and plentiful, with various gags that come off marvelously. From an expertly-done shotgun wound to a vicious slit throat that goes deep enough to decapitate a victim that shoots off a geyser of blood from the stump and various other bloodletting, there's a really impressive list gore on display. The mystery is handled fairly well and makes for some great scenes as the clues begin to add up, and the final reveal is classic exploitation at it's best. With so many other elements on display that fully work and make it an enjoyable experience, there isn't much that is wrong with it, other than maybe a few of the jokes falling a little flat. That's not a bad thing, though, as there's far more here that works than doesn't but that is a problem that can hinder it in the eyes of some.
The Final Verdict: With lots of laughs and just as much boobs, this is a fun film that features a lot to entertain just about everyone. It's a must for all fans of Russ Meyer and the more whacked out side of the exploitation side, but it's really recommended to all.
Rated UR/NC-17: Nudity, several sex scenes, Graphic Language, Graphic Violence and intense sexual dialog
