Pervert! (2005) User Reviews

I slipped into the world of my art, comforted only by prostitutes.

[lastliberal · 5/10 · 20 December 2009]

I do not know whether Jonathan Yudis is the heir apparent to Russ Meyer, but he sure can make one crazy film.

The current Governor of California had to beat another actor for his job - Mary Carey. The way she eats an ear of corn or pours honey all over her body will quickly make you forget the Terminator. Who cares if he'll be back when you have Mary.

Now, to see Mary, we do have to put up with Hezekiah (Darrell Sandeen) and his "art." Along with a bodacious display of breasts, we have some blood and death, as befits a B-horror movie. But the wildest thing is yet to come!

Pervert!

[Scarecrow-88 · 5/10 · 20 February 2009]

"We've got a killer cock to catch, we'll talk about love some other time."

Absurd, goofy sex goremedy and a homage-of-sorts to Russ Meyer flicks stars New Orleans college student, James(Sean Andrews)returning home to the desert to see his widower hillbilly father, Hezekiah(Darrell Sandeen)who is shacking it up with a boob-heavy slut named Cheryl(..the notorious Republican porn star Mary Carey who ran for California governor). Hezekiah wishes to put his son to work and has James helping with chores around the house. Soon Cheryl and James are having at it, humping all over the place as pa sleeps. Meanwhile a creature of some sort is moving about the place at night..what could it be? Soon Hezekiah finds his son and Cheryl doing the nasty, quite irate and mortified, resulting in her mysterious disappearance. Later, Hezekiah picks up another slut, Alisha(Sally Jean)who ridicules James non-stop while keeping pa happy in the sack. When James discovers Cheryl whose head comes off while the creature attacks Alisha, he suspects Hezekiah as the culprit. Inlisting the aid of a supposed nurse, Patty(Juliette Clarke), who is not who she appears, maybe James can, once and for all, discover whose responsible for the murders.

That creature, if you must know, is a stop-motion claymation penis(!)which detaches from James thanks to a voodoo ritual involving the idea of picking up chicks with ease resulting in a curse..this takes penis envy to an all new level. In fact, we soon the discover that the penis is "female" and attacks other girls because it's jealous of the affections it's master gives them! Lots of tits and some sex, with a ton of gross sound effects..purposely juvenile and embracing immoral freedom. Director Jonathan Yudis portrays an unpleasant auto-mechanic with overalls, a Nazi swastika tattoo, grease, bad teeth, speaking in rap lingo(!), and giving off an attraction to James, whose car he's working on. The females in the film, particularly Mary Carey who knows no shame, are quite uninhibited. Lots of blood coming towards the final half of the film when the attacks begin. The penis actually has eyes and sharp teeth! Must be the first time that there's a camera point-of-view from the eyes of a penis! There are various film breaks featuring a naked woman doing various things like riding a golf cart, for no apparent reason whatsoever. The filmmakers attempt to achieve the aesthetic visual styling of Meyer, such as the unusual camera angles, general raunchiness, and featuring voluptuous women with very large jugs. Shooting in the lonely desert, with bright blue skies, around a farmhouse. Hezekiah has a wooden shack where he keeps art representing women from chopped up meat and animal parts! Lots of homosexual jokes on display as well. I found some of this movie amusing, but often felt they tried so hard that the comedy often feels really forced. There's a naughty spirit from the very first reel to the last that's certain to appeal to the obvious crowd this film is aimed towards. Heavy use of split screen throughout as well.

Frivalous T & A; a hoot to watch.

[michaelRokeefe · 3/10 · 21 August 2011]

Not rated; but adult fare all the way. Horny college guy James(Sean Andrews)decides to spend the summer with his father Hezekiah(Darrell Sanderson), who lives in the desert and has a hobby of sculpting with raw meat. James expects to maybe chase some cuties and possibly get lucky enough for a hook up; dear old dad has other ideas for James...work, work and more work. Meanwhile the old Bible-thumping goat is humping any bouncing beauty in sight. It happens that every time he replaces a buxom honey, he starts a new meat project out in his "studio". The disappearances are written off as victims of a bloodthirsty sexual pervert on the loose. The story gets real obtuse when the killer is revealed. This is a lusty homage to adult filmmaker Russ Meyer. The real star of this romp is the effectual Mary Carey and her bouncing 36DDs that come out to play...often. Also in the cast: Sally Jean, Juliette Clark, Jonathan Yudis and Candice Hussain.

Fun Homage to Sexploitation Flicks

[Rapeman13 · 14 December 2008]

Pervert! is a modern-day homage to the films of Sexploitation king Russ Meyer. I went into this not expecting much as I'm really not a big fan of the recent flood of "homage's" and "tribute's" being churned out by directors pathetically trying to cash-in on the current "retro" / "grindhouse" trend. Pervert! however, is a totally different beast.

Old Hezekiah (Darrell Sandeen) resides with his young, busty live-in whore Cheryl (Mary Carey) in Desert Range, an isolated stretch of desert in the south(?) where he indulges in his love for the art of meat sculpting. When his son James (Sean Andrews) comes to stay Cheryl gets a hankerin' for some younger meat and the two of them begin an affair behind the old man's back. Suddenly, Cheryl mysteriously disappears and James thinks his ol' man may be behind it. When Hezekiah comes home the next day with a new whore, James sets out to investigate his pops "studio" where he discovers Cheryl's temporarily re-animated corpse. But all is not as it seems, as later on when ol' pops is chained down, the bodies still keep a droppin'...

Writer/director team Jonathan Yudis and Mike Davis obviously have a Russ Meyer obsession. There are scenes and set-pieces here stolen directly from such Meyer films as Supervixens, Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!, Vixen and a few others but nevertheless Pervert! still manages not to come off as yet another feeble attempt at a cash-in. Like Meyers films, Pervert! is very comic bookish in style with dream bubbles, wacky in-your-face camera angles, cartoon sound effects and loadsa really silly humour. Aside from Darrell Sandeen's fantastic performance as the perverted old holy roller, the acting isn't all that good especially from porn star and one-time Governor of California candidate Mary Carey, although she still fulfils the role of the stereotypical Meyer chick: big, natural tits! (in fact I'm pretty sure there's no silicone in this flick at all).

So, being as this is a tribute to the spirit of Russ Meyer there's obviously a whole lotta gratuitous nudity, but there's also (mainly in the second half) a generous splattering of gore. From arterial blood sprays to ol' Hezekiah tearing his own heart out for one of his meat sculptures, Pervert! can be rather bloody at times. Also, to its credit, Pervert! never reveals its low-budget origins - it has excellent camera-work, razor sharp editing and its cartoonish colours are extra bright and bold.

Overall, for a low-budget modern-day attempt at a Sexploitation flick, Pervert! is pretty decent. Sure, some of the jokes fall flat, the acting ain't too hot, and its all been done better before but if you're lookin' for some mindless nudity and laughs, check it out.

Ouch

[owlthuthewar · 1/10 · 22 July 2009]

I lost some serious IQ points watching this. the acting was bad. the plot was non existent. Yes, it had a quirky '70s porn feel to it, and was, as I said, quirky. I guess if you are drunk or high on some heavy drugs, it might have some redeeming value, but overall, oh my god! I love bad movies, but this one...as the subject line says, OUCH! I watched this because it was reference in a similar film, "One Eyed Monster, but have to agree with the poster there, that was a far superior film, and that is not saying much. OK, the claymation penis was humorous, but that was about the only thing this movie had going for it, other than an abundance of gratuitous boob shoots.

Not like Russ Meyer

[fullfemale · 1/10 · 29 November 2009]

There were all types of sexploitation films, and they had many different underlying themes and aims. Russ Meyer's aim seemed to be to glorify the female as a fully voluptuous, fully powerful, and fully remarkable creature. The female to Meyer is "more" than the male. The sheer joy he takes in her physicality proves this, plus her mythic strength and power over the male. This movie, PERVERT, is exactly the opposite. The women are completely subordinate to the men. Their sexuality is seen from the outside, and has no real power. The women are viciously slaughtered. Even the gooniest, most degenerate, oldest, or stupidest males are stronger and smarter than the females. This is cheap sex comedy a hundred times removed from adult sexual issues. The attitude towards the women is like that of teen males who hate women because the sexiest women aren't available to them, and because a woman's sexuality is totally abstract to them. It's actually quite Victorian in that sense. It's full of a type of fear and curiosity of the female that emerges in times of great repression. SPOILER ALERT: Worse still, the "killer" that is terrorizing the females (the detached penis of the protagonist), is never related psychologically to its owner, so that an opportunity for discussing male violence or a split between the civilized and savage parts of male desire, is missed. Indeed, the claymation penis is the only character that is given a personality. It has rage, humility, bashfulness, shame, makes cutesy faces, etc. This is all of course a cheap joke. Especially as this killer penis rapes women, destroys their insides, and comes out through their mouths, behaving like a knife, eviscerating them and making them explode with blood, then scuttles across the desert like a cowboy hero out for revenge. Ha ha. Other jokes draw on racism, homophobia, ageism, etc. As an attempt to make fun of redneck values it doesn't work, as the film doesn't offer an alternate point of view, so it seems to condone the values it's sending up. Therefore, as satire it fails miserably. The filmmakers seem to revel in the bad values, almost nostalgic for them, and to be making this film as a way of re-entrenching them through humor. As a female, I find as much humor in this travesty as a black person might find in a comic send-up of a KKK lynching, all of course from the point of view of the racists. Humor is always based on the audience sharing values with the jokes being made, and so all of the people loving this film might want to take a look at themselves and why they think it's funny.

Filth

[tammuz420 · 1/10 · 7 March 2014]

This is one of those movies, I wish i could un-see! The entire film was really stupid and WTF! Don't waste your money! Even though this movie has t and a, its not worth sitting through. Its so juvenile and retarded you might vomit. Downright awful and disgusting. I guess its supposed to be grindhouse, but its just disturbing. Even after several beers, this it not even funny or entertaining. At one point there is a dancing talking penis. I think the directors / writer must have the IQ of a 5 yr old. I bought the movie because of the title. I thought oh cool a movie with lots of hot naked chicks. Boy was I disappointed. Mary Carey has a nice rack but this disaster of a movie is hard to sit through. Go buy a porno instead

As low brow as a film can get.

[poolandrews · 5/10 · 6 October 2007]

Pervert! starts as James (Sean Andrews) arrives at his father's ranch after a term in college, he plans to stay there for the summer. His father Hezekiah (Darrell Sandeen) has shacked up with the ample chested young girl Cheryl (Mary Carey) who happens to be young enough to be his daughter, James & Cheryl quickly fall for each other & have sex, lots of it. Hezekiah finds out, the next morning & Cheryl has mysteriously disappeared. Hezekiah quickly finds another young girl Alisha (Sally Jean), she to falls for his son James & she too disappears although both her's & Cheryl's dead bodies eventually turn up much to Hezekiah's & James' surprise. Who, or what killed them & why?

Co-produced & directed by Jonathan Yudis who also appears in the film as the greasy gay car mechanic this is an unashamed homage, or rip-off whichever way you look at it, of the exploitation/sexploitation films of the 70's & 80's & I can see how some might like it but I personally didn't think much of it. The script by co-producer Mike Davis certainly tries to pack in as many bad taste gags, bare breasts, nudity, sex, cheap looking gore & silly plot twists in it's slight 80 odd minute duration as it can which in a way makes it watchable on a stupid juvenile level. If you think the idea of seeing a pretty girl torturing a man by sticking her bum in his face & farting, watching a big burly man (played by director Yudis) literally drop kick his young son like he was a football or seeing an evil stop-motion animated penis with a face trying to murder people sounds funny then you'll love Pervert!, if however you like your entertainment with a little more class then this is not the film for you. At just over 80 minutes it moves along at a fast pace, I will admit there's always something happening as it's pretty successful at what it sets out to do. Unfortunately I didn't like the pre pubescent jokes which are a naughty school boys dream come true, I have to say I didn't laugh once during Pervert! & in fact I didn't even smile either. Take away all the silliness & homages the actual story is terrible with some awful plot twists & character's.

Director Yudis shoots this on what looks like a camcorder, it's certainly not shot on film. There are loads of naked female breasts although no full frontal nudity. The blood & gore isn't anything to shout about, there's a decapitated head & some very watery looking blood. The film is quite annoying to watch at times, there's loads of comedy sound effects, stupid editing, random shots of naked women that have nothing to do with anything & pretty low production values.

I'd have thought this was pretty low budget, no one of any note is in it & it looks cheap with a terrible looking sop-motion animated penis. I kid you not. The acting is rubbish, I didn't recognise anyone in it although I wouldn't be surprised if some of the girls in this were better know for porn film.

Pervert! can be quite fun in a really low brow juvenile camp sort of way, as a dramatic film it's absolutely worthless though & apart from the exploitation/bad movie crowd this isn't going to really appeal to anyone. I thought it was worth a one off watch but I doubt I'll want to see it again.

Mindless voyeuristic nonsense .......................

[merklekranz · 5/10 · 1 August 2011]

When you consider that Russ Meyer's films weren't that great to begin with, then this "tribute" easily becomes forgettable. Mercifully, "Pervert" has a run time of only 81 minutes, and yet it still wears out it's welcome early on. A son who is dumb as the post holes his father has him digging in the desert, is constantly chasing around bare breasted women. All of this becomes redundant and numbing. Throw in endless weak double entendre's , porno quality acting, and a claymation killer penis, and it's easy to see why "Pervert" has little to offer other than trying too hard to be bizarre. Not recommended............. - MERK

Don't let Mary Carey's lack of any acting ability whatsoever deter you from this fun flick

[movieman_kev · 6/10 · 6 December 2006]

Silly little flick that reminded me of an old King Missile song. It combined the staples of any good horror-comedy, mixing tons of nudity (arrousal very dependent on your opinion of fuller figured women though) with a fair amount of blood and off the wall humor that will cause some to laugh out loud and others just groan. I reside in the former for the most part. Sure some of the jokes fall flat and the movie runs a bit too long and can't maintain either the laughs or erotica for it's entire duration, but it's still a pretty good party movie to watch while inebriated or toasty. Lucky I caught it on Starz on Demand as I wouldn't have even heard of if it wasn't.

My Grade:B-

Odd Horror Comedy

[Reviews_of_the_Dead · 3/10 · 9 June 2019]

This was a film that I recall playing at my local theater when I was in college. Looking at the release date, it would have been a couple years after its release and it was playing as a midnight movie. Having seen the film now, it actually makes a lot of sense. The synopsis for this film is a young man comes home to visit his father and his new wife. The problem is that there is a killer that follows him home and seems to be targeting women.

It kicks off with narration from Malik Carter. He is speaking quite cryptic, but we do know there's going to be nudity, blood and gore. We then meet the son, James (Sean Andrews). He picks up a hitchhiker and when she discovers what's in the glove box, she gets out and mocks him. He's embarrassed but continues on to his father's home.

His father is Hezekiah (Darrell Sandeen). His mother has passed away and Hezekiah is now with Cheryl (Mary Carey). She is a former stripper and she is kind over the top in her sexuality. James is trying to ignore her, but the two of them end up making love, quite a bit. One night, something comes out from under James' bed. Cheryl is murdered that night. James blames his father while he blames his son.

It doesn't end here though. Hezekiah ends up finding another woman, Alisha (Sally Jean). She is quite mean to James, but in the end she also falls for him as well. There is another weird POV that is distorted and again from under James' bed. There is also the subplot that the odd dreams he's having with a witch doctor (Edmund Johnson) might have something to do with what is happening. Who is doing these killings? Can it be solved before it is too late and piling up more victims?

Now I came in not really knowing to expect. When I saw it was a horror/comedy, I figured that it would be a bit over the top with the title. It wasn't until I finished it and started to look into it a bit before writing this that this is making a modern interpretation of exploitation films. To be more specific actually paying homage to Russ Meyer, who was known as the king of nudie films.

I do have to say, this film isn't for me. I'm not the biggest fan of films that are completely outrageous like this one. I'm sure this film is on par with the films it is paying homage to though. My biggest issue though is that it too forever to get to the horror aspects of the film. It has a low running time of 81 minutes and really didn't get to the horror aspects until legitimately halfway through. The film also comes off a little bit boring for me, but that is probably due not really enjoying what they are going for. That's just not really my cup of tea.

Something else is that the jokes didn't land for me. I can normally get down for toilet humor, but for me the jokes they try to do just weren't funny. Some of the over the top things that happen did make me chuckle. I do think there is an audience out there for this though. There is a ton of nudity, which I can get on board for. Carey is a pornstar and the rest of the girls seem to be actresses that have not done a whole lot. You do get to see all of them nude though.

I can't really say anything bad about the acting, which is next on the docket to cover. I can say it is amateurish, but I believe they are over the top on purpose. Andrews is so awkward, which is funny when the ladies are attracted to him. It does make sense later in the film. Carey isn't bad and the same for Sandeen. I think the acting actually fits for the tone the film is going for and with saying that, the rest of the cast is on par.

Next I'll cover the effects of the film. I was glad to see that they were done practically. The film did hide a lot of it, which is a good move actually. There is mostly things done with make-up and the blood looked good. Hezekiah works a lot with meat, which I'm assuming was real and was bit odd. There also was some stop-motion and what it is using it on was a bit outrageous, which is the major theme of this review. It doesn't look bad, but it also wasn't great. I do think the film was shot well actually.

Now with that said, this film I think really has a niche audience and it wasn't really for me. I do give them credit for paying homage to the films of Meyer's, but I think I might need to seek out some of his films to get a better understanding. The story is disjointed and doesn't flow like I wanted it to, but it did has some funny aspects. The comedy really didn't land with me though. The acting is over the top, but that was definitely what they were supposed to do. The effects were actually pretty solid, even though there aren't a lot of them. The soundtrack of the film didn't really stick with me, but it never took me out of the film. Just to re-iterate, for me this is a bad movie. I do think there is a group of people out there that will like this. I could definitely put it on at a party of dudes just to laugh at for sure.

2% of Grindhouse's budget --all of the fun!

[Jneil · 8/10 · 4 May 2007]

Look, I'm not going to take a thing away from Robert Rodriguez or Quentin Tarantino when they take on the task of re-creating the classic B-movies of the Russ Meyer era -- but when you have $50 million bucks at your disposal to spend on state-of-the-art effects and every actor in town lining up to work with you, let's just say you're working with advantages that Russ Meyer would have sawed off his own leg to achieve.

Jonathan Yudis did it on a real Russ Meyer micro-budget, and pulls it off beautifully.

Pervert is an over-the-top spoof with deliberately hokey special effects, obviously fake violence, joyously cheesy sexploitation, and deadpan acting by a cast that's obviously enjoying what they're doing.

If you're a fan of the Russ Meyer classics, this is a must-see movie.

Hooray for Boobies!

[Coventry · 7/10 · 23 September 2007]

King Russ Meyer is dead … Long live King Meyer! That must have been one of the mottoes director Jonathan Yudis treasured whilst shooting this indescribably demented but surprisingly successful tribute to rancid 70's exploitation, and more particularly to the fabulous repertoire of the Fellini of the Sex Industry; mister Russ Meyer himself. "Pervert!" has a weak premise, an incoherent screenplay, monotonous & uninspired cinematography and horrid acting performances … but we wouldn't want it any other way! It's a silly, brainless smut-production and it advertises a famous porn star's big breasts on all the posters, that is all you need to know! Twenty-something James drives up to his father's isolated ranch in the desert to help him out with the chores during the summer. Father Hezekiah has clearly found some new hobbies since his wife died, like making females sculptures out of rotting meat and – more importantly – share the bed with the large-breasted Cheryl. James, understandably, wants a piece of her as well, which leads to father/son arguments on the ranch. Shortly after, Cheryl goes missing and Hezekiah new and equally voluptuous girlfriend turns up dead. The plot then takes a couple of grotesquely insane twists and ludicrous turns, and only truly die-hard exploitation fanatics will be able to tolerate them. The first words that can be heard in "Pervert!" are the lyrics of a song that is spot-on and immediately determines the atmosphere of the entire film: "Baby, I'm so sick…I'm so twisted. I'm a pervert, baby!". Hell yeah, everyone's slightly perverted (or at least deranged) in this movie! "Pervert!" is definitely inspired by the best work of Russ Meyer. For example, the compilation of moments when James & Cheryl have sex at various places around the ranch while Hezekiah is sleeping is clearly copied from "Supervixens" and the early scene with the yummy hitch-hiker is also a textbook Russ Meyer utopia. Adult movie star Mary Carey can't act, and she honestly isn't very attractive, but she sure has an impressive pair of blouse bunnies. Jonathan Yudis set aside an interesting role for himself as well, namely the nasty and sexually confused mechanic in town. He also rewarded himself with a totally gratuitous and unexpected kick-a-toddler moment, which was priceless. "Pervert!" is a strange, gory (some nasty butchering, too) and totally moronic no-budget fan-boy flick that proves that grindhouse cinema definitely isn't dead. Warmly recommended to people with a bizarre taste.

One of the silliest crazy things I've seen

[dave-heberer · 5/10 · 13 September 2019]

But still, I was entertained. Maybe I'm just a dumb guy at heart and basically constant boobs on screen means I won't hate on a film. This really reminded me of like if a Benny Hill show could show the nudity you know they always wanted to. It's basically a ton of sex jokes and a ton of I guess the lead actress basically constantly at least topless if not full on nude.

I guess what makes me not think it's trying to be a softcore film (which irks me, either be porn or don't) is the zany silly nature of it. It has no real plot, which is surprising given there's a body count you'd think there'd be a good reason for it but it's just dumb silly dick jokes with a bunch of boobs.

Amusing as Hell!

[ShiZ · 7/10 · 15 August 2007]

This film completely surprised me. I rented it thinking it would probably be fairly bad, but be entertaining because of it. I quickly realized that this is actually a very funny and well done flick. The cheese is intentional, the breasts are wonderful, the script is actually quite clever, and the cinematography is impressive. Even my girlfriend enjoyed watching it, and laughed through the whole thing. That is saying a lot, since she has an aversion to anything not released by a major studio.

The only reason I didn't score this film higher is I feel it lost momentum towards the end due to a stop motion animation gag that I think went on a little to long. All and all though, a great movie, especially for such a low budget ($50,000 is the figure given on the making-of documentary on the DVD)

The Heir Apparent to Russ Meyer!

[superheroic · 8/10 · 1 February 2006]

Tonight I saw a film directed by the heir apparent to Russ Meyer.

Tonight I saw PERVERT!.

While Russ Meyer may have passed on to the great beyond a little over a year ago his spirit certainly lives on in filmmaker Jonathan Yudis and his movie PERVERT!. With PERVERT! Yudis has made a film that Meyer would be proud of. Yudis has done what so many other filmmakers have failed to do in the past: he's captured the crazy spirit that filled many of Meyer's movies without losing any of their bite. Yudis has made what is as close as you can get to a Russ Meyer movie made for the 21st century and in today's politically correct climate I'm sure it wasn't easy for him to do.

In PERVERT! Yudis has created a style of film that, in most cases, has been dead for a long time. It's film that decides to go all the way and not hold anything back. It's a movie that's equal parts comedy, part horror/gore movie, and part sex film. It's a crazy and unbridled romp through Meyers land and it's made even better by the fact that Yudis has obviously studied the geography as his movie comes across almost as if it were made by the man himself. The music, the editing, the dialog…all of it is there. I've often wondered what Russ Meyer might be able to do with the advent of the digital film-making revolution and Yudis has provided the answer. Meyer'd make something almost exactly like PERVERT!.

And in some ways Yudis has made something better than a Meyer film. The director of this movie avoids a lot of the clunkiness of Meyer's films and the movie breezes along at a quick and humorous pace. The movie's actually funny and the lines and moments that are supposed to make you laugh are actually able to do so. While the dialog is just as guffaw-inducing as old-school Meyer there are actually jokes in this film that work. Not to mention that the delivery by many of the actors goes a long way. Specifically by the lead actor Sean Andrews and the actor who plays his father, Darrell Sandeen. Sandeen has some great lines in the flick which he delivers in a way that'd make Adam West envious. All in all Yudis has made an extremely enjoyable film. Special kudos for to animator Corky Quakenbush (Of Mad TV's Raging Rudolf and Davey and Goliath as Son of Sam fame,) for putting together some really great claymation sequences that occur towards the "ahem" climax of the movie. Yep, you read that last part right…PERVERT! even has claymation! It's claymation that definitely isn't for the kiddies but neither is the rest of the movie.

After all, it is a Russ Meyer style movie and yes, gentlemen, it's not for the sexually conservative among you. The film co-stars Skinemax adult star Marey Carey who's more than willing to display her, um, talents for the screen as are several of the other actresses in the film. There's plenty of skin to go around in this movie but then the movie is called PERVERT! after all. In true Russ Meyer fashion the buxom ladies are plenty in this movie and they're not shy. It's not overly explicit and by no means is it pornographic but for those of you that can't stand the sight of female nudity you might want to stay away from this one. For the rest of us, Yudis delivers the ladies in spades and I'm sure Russ Mayers and Marey Carey fans everywhere will be grateful in spades.

Let's just say that I don't think PERVERT! is going to be playing in the Bible Belt any time soon. Which is too bad for them as they'll be messing out on a great piece of cinematic fun. Yeah, a movie called PERVERT! isn't going to be for everyone but for those of you that it is for (and you know who you are) you should be guaranteed a pretty good time or at the very least some really good laughs.

a smile or two and an eyeful

[christopher-underwood · 6/10 · 12 July 2007]

I wasn't expecting too much from this, although there are some extravagant claims by some, but at only 80 minutes reckoned I couldn't go too wrong. The jokey start gave me slight cause for concern but then we were off and by the end of the marvellous corn on the cob licking scene, I was all set for some silly sexy fun. The scene at the garage comes as a surprise and with the director himself playing the mechanic things get a bit harder edged. Fine. But all the time there are these little diversionary bits and bobs and I wonder if I'm the only one not finding everything as hilariously funny as the film makers clearly do. The lurch into slasher/horror territory is not unwelcome but the 'humour' increasingly comes across as silliness and prevents the nastiness from developing. About halfway through and I'd had it and although resigned to watch it through felt it was becoming more and more childish. Always good to look at and very competently made, the material just wasn't worth all the effort. My critical stance has become slightly measured after listening to the director/writer commentary and whilst it's hardly fair to rate a movie on the strength of its commentary, it did make me feel more inclined to give the benefit of doubt. It is by no means a perfect film or even a decent exploitation movie but it is well directed and edited and approached the right way many could get a smile or two and an eyeful over a beer or three.

Surprisingly good........Very Enjoyable

[jkilpa69 · 7/10 · 4 September 2007]

I came to this film thinking it would be a dire movie with a few laughs, but all in all a decent 80 minutes of film footage. HOW WRONG I WAS..... This film blew me away. Obviously this film wont have wonderful CGI effects, or big named actors, or cohesion in some parts. The coyote babble for instance, whats all that about? However this film did make me smile a lot and even laugh out loud at a few parts, something not many films these days have inspired in me. The basic plot is an individual named James leaves New Orleans to live in the desert for the summer with his father. Things soon take a turn for the raunchy however when he arrives and discovers his grizzled old PA has a new plaything, going by the name of Cheryl (and no I don't consider women objects i'm just trying to convey the atmosphere of the film) who soon falls foul of James's "charms". Shortly after this Cheryl disappears, and James's father goes to town, returning with a new woman on his arm. From this point we take a step into the land of incredulity, as points of the plot spiral into the realms of madness. All in all however I definitely enjoyed the movie, and the ending certainly "pricked" my funny bone.

Enjoy all J

Hilarious Unspoiled Fun

[tiab1 · 8/10 · 29 January 2006]

The most unpretentious - thrown to the wind and splattered all over your face fun. I thought this film was going to be disturbing- but quite surprisingly , I love it more and laugh harder every time I see it. The soundtrack is genius. The acting couldn't be more perfect to fit the bill. The "dating" scenes , brilliantly executed. Hats off to the creative team who had the courage and folly to execute this extremely complicated B movie with style and finesse...and a hell of a laugh unlike any other film you have ever seen can give you- at least in my opinion (and I am a woman.) The bizarreness factor has you wavering between - "What is this?!" - to - "This is brilliant and totally unselfconscious!"

80 Minutes of Mary Carey Naked and Very Little Plot

[gavin6942 · 3 October 2011]

A word. What is the pervert? Sex freak, deranged degenerate, disturbed diabolical psychotic subversive embracer of things both erotic and erratic.

If you have no interest in seeing Mary Carey and other large-chested ladies naked, this film is probably not for you. Personally, I do not find Carey attractive and am not really into voluptuous women. Nude women, sure, but just not of this body type.

I liked the meat sculptures. I wish they played a bigger role, but it just was not meant to be.

Is this film the successor to Russ Meyer? At least one reviewer thinks so, but I say that either gives this film too much credit or is just downright insulting to Meyer. I would say the sensibility is closer to the films of John Waters, but even that is giving this film an undeserved comparison.

The movie is very cheesy, but has a few humorous moments. For some reason, Netflix lists this as a horror film. I would call that a bit of a stretch. I mean, yeah, there is blood and murder, but not until the second half. (I guess you cannot be a half-horror film, though.)

Evertyhing you could want in a movie, and then some

[Lord-of-Delusion · 7/10 · 29 March 2007]

Well, all I can say is, WOW! From the opening montage of gigantic bare breastesses in various forms of gyration, I had a feeling that this was going to be something different from anything released in the last couple of decades, and boy was I right. The plot is secondary, but I'll surmise as best as I can. We start off with James (Sean Andrews) traveling across the country to spend the summer with his dad, Hezekiah (Darrell Sandeen). On the way we discover that James has a glove compartment full of porno mags and gags. Seems ol' Jimbo has troubles bagging the babes. When James arrives at Hezekiah's modest little ranch, he is introduced to his dad's buxom bombshell, Cheryl (Mary Carey). Well, after a humorous dinner scene involving Cheryl and some corn on the cob, James begins pining for Cheryl, who pretty much is in various stages of disrobing throughout. James finally hits it off with Cheryl, and then they start having sex right under Hezekiah's nose, usually while the old bugger is sleeping. In the meantime, Hezekiah shows James his "studio", which is a small shack devoted to Hezekiah's art, which consists of women made from 'beef jerky', although the beef looks nothing like any steak I've seen. So now Hezekiah finally catches Cheryl and James doing the nasty, flips out, and then later that night can be heard slapping Cherly around in the bedroom. The next day, Cheryl is gone, Hezekiah is acting strange, and James begins to suspect something is going on with his dad.

Well, enough plot, let's get to the goods, and man is there a wealth on display here. I'll try to do this Joe Bob Briggs style, as this HAS to be a movie he would just thoroughly enjoy. We have boobs; a dog using a rubber vagina as a chew toy; boobs; snake on a stick; boobs and butt; bee stings to the face; decapitation; boobs; girl dressed in coyote furs showing some goods; boobs; a child punted against a wall; farting in face; butts; lesbianism; a gay redneck gangsta (I couldn't even make that up); more boobs; shotgun wound to the chest; boobs; and last not but least, a claymation penis. Well, and more boobs.

The women on display here are a classic throwback to the Meyers girls of the late 60's and early 70's, that is to say, gigantic breasts and none have them have missed lunch hour for a couple of years, that's for sure. Not to say they are fat, per se, just "healthy", or "full figured". Overall there are some laugh out loud moments in this one, although some of the jokes fall very flat (the only thing that's flat in this movie, I can tell ya). The acting is anywhere from good (Andrews and Sandeen) to abysmal (Carey, but she wasn't hired for her acting chops). If you are looking for a titillating little doozy to have a smoke and some drinks with, I highly recommend "Pervert!", as this has everything you could want in a movie, and then some. If you are a fan of Russ Meyer films you will love this. If not, stay as far away as possible. And if you've never seen a Russ Meyer flick, after watching this movie you may be piqued to see some. I give credit to Jonathon Yudis for truly giving us the type of movie that has been missing for decades, but has modernized it to reach to most of today's audience.

Final score: 7/10.

Enjoyable Russ Meyer Tribute...

[EVOL666 · 8/10 · 16 March 2010]

Watched PERVERT! about a year ago and although I enjoyed it-I hadn't thought much about it until a friend mentioned it the other day. I originally added this one to my Netflix queue quite a while back, where it sat for a long time until I finally got around to it. Gotta say-I liked this one quite a bit more than I would've expected. 

James goes to stay the summer with his grizzled old meat-sculpting father at his desert ranch. James ain't apparently too good with the ladies, and Dad's girlfriend is a hot piece of ass (in the form of porn-star Mary Carey) who spends most of her time around the ranch (and the film in general) in various stages of nekkidness. James and the slut eventually start f!cking, and when the ol' man finds out-Mary mysteriously disappears. James thinks his dad has something to do with her disappearance-especially when other sluts who come around to help take care of pops start disappearing too. The real culprit turns out to be far more bizarre though, as James will eventually find out...

If you're looking for any sort of heady, meaningful, or otherwise 'enlightening' film-you will not find it in PERVERT!. But if you want a lot of tits-and-ass and soft-core sex, silly acting and ridiculous scenarios, a Nazi-redneck-wigger (no lie...), a voodoo- possessed female detachable penis (again-not even kidding...), and a bit of splatter to round things out-then PERVERT! delivers. I honestly had a lot more fun with this film than I would've ever expected-and it's obvious not only from the 'dedication' of the film- but of the overall whimsical style that the director's been studying his Russ Meyer films and was out to make the same sort of female-obsessed sexploit silliness. For my vote-he succeeded rather well. 8/10

Oh man, this movie is awesome.

[Spaceham · 8/10 · 9 September 2009]

If you're like me then you like busty ladies, wacky rednecks, and crazy voodoo involving male specific anatomy. If you're like me, then you're a PERVERT! And you'll love this movie.

This picture is a brilliant homage to the Russ Meyer nudie-cutie flicks of old. The wonderful thing about this movie is that the filmmakers clearly love the genre that they're pulling from, and the result is not parody but admiration. I'm tempted to even use the word respect, but that seems a little overblown.

I'll sum it up by saying this: If you're the kind of person that has even heard about this movie, much less had it recommended to you by your mom and considered watching it, then you're more than likely the rare breed who will relate to the tragic, titillating, triumphant tale of a healthy young pervert.

A new generation exploitation classic in the making

[slayrrr666 · 10/10 · 1 December 2006]

"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

Below average sexploitation

[Otoboke · 14 October 2007]

'Pervert!' is a mildly amusing 'sexploitation' film that delivers on it's premise fully, creating a film that will probably be hated by anyone who's not a complete heterosexual male pervert. Well, that's not exactly true because even though the film initially had me rolling my eyes over and over, by the end I was actually quite enjoying the movie, as shallow as it may be.

On a technical level, 'Pervert!' is a complete catastrophe. The acting ranges from terrible (Mary Carey) to mediocre (Sandeen), the photography and effects are cringe worthy and nothing worth mentioning at all. However, the plot itself isn't too bad, it's just a little thin for an already short movie. I feel the whole thing could have been better suited to a 20-30 minute short piece, with all the filler (random topless women just spliced into the film for no reason whatsoever) cut and trimmed down into what was really funny and integral to the story.

As I mentioned above, 'Pervert!' may not be anywhere near being a 'good' film, but it delivers on its shallow premise of gore and sex at least. The film wasn't as funny as it took itself, but I'd rather it was laughing at itself more than it took itself seriously. As a whole, the film is obviously pretty bad -seeing as it revolves around tits- but it at least acknowledges the fact. So in the end I don't really recommend this film in any circumstance except that you may just be looking for mindless filler for 80 minutes. Oh, and of course, it will probably help if you like breasts.
