"Das komabrutale Duell" or "The Coma-Brutal Duel" is a German 80-minute film from 1999. The writer and director here is Heiko Fipper and he is also one of the actors. I am not sure you can say "actors", as no cast member has any acting experience apparently. From what I saw here, I refuse to call Fipper a filmmaker. It is actually his second movie. His first work is from the early 1990s and then he took a break of eight years and then he made this one here. I have no idea why he returned to filmmaking as it is certainly not the case that he improved his skills whatsoever and his first can't be worse than this one here I guess. Anyway, the title is already as baity as it gets, but the film is not good at all, or probably right what you would expect looking at a title. It's gore and splatter from start to finish, but the production values go close to zero really and it looks amateurish during its entire 80 minutes. And sadly, the effects, an area that these films usually make up for weak storytelling, are not good at all either. Is there a good thing about this film? Yes there is. It shows aspiring young filmmakers that you can still make a somewhat known movie, even if you have no talent at all. Apparetntly, Fipper has understood that filmmaking is definitely not his area of expertise and he has not made a new film in the almost 2 decades since this one. I highly suggest you stay far far away.
... View MoreSo this movie has been given the distinction of 'goriest movie ever'. OK..well does that mean it has to be absolutely horrible and have no decent acting or storyline twists ? I'm a lover of macabre cinema and watch a lot of extremely violent movies, as well as movies about controversial subjects. I'm not afraid to push the envelope a little bit, more than the average viewer, perhaps. But this movie is just gore for gore's sake and really is just plain gross. Its not even worth watching in my opinion. I gave it a three just for the distinction it carries, but other than its designation as 'goriest movie of all time ' there are no real reasons to watch this movie. Its not even put together very well and the plot is only in place to support a horrific splatter fest on screen. I am glad I didn't pay for it..and I can see why it was included as a free 'bonus' item in a shipment I won through an Ebay auction. The bonus will be the $2 I sell it for at a garage sale, I guess.
... View MoreDas Komabrutale Duell is maybe, the bloodiest and goriest movie ever. Maybe it is. I love bloody movies, i love gore, so i should love Das komabrutale duell if its one of the goriest. Well, this is not math. I can hardly watch this movie complete. The fast-forward help me a lot on this one. Its ultra-gore, ultra-bloody, but its boring. You need at least something like a plot at least. This movie is just a juxtaposition of gory scenes, one after the other without any plot (well, its about some gangs that fight or something like that, but that its not a plot, believe me). Lots and lots of blood (lot of the blood is brown....) but it sucks big time. 3/10.
... View MoreHonestly, I have no f!cking idea what DAS KOMABRUTALLE DUELL is about. I have a Geramn language only copy and as I don't speak German, the "finer points" were totally lost on me. I will say that it ranks up there with some of the goriest films ever made - but from what I witnessed, it also ranked amongst the stupidest films ever made as well.The storyline seemed to revolve around some rival gangs that are trying to slaughter each other. Problem is, it doesn't seem like anyone can ever die. People get shot 100 times, chainsawed, beaten with objects, and all other sort of mayhem, and they just keep coming back for more. At one point, some of the gang-members come back as zombies (or something to that nature) but this doesn't seem to have any real effect either...Again, I really don't know what the hell was going on here. It seemed like a retarded cluster-f!ck of a film that I think was trying to be some sort of splatter comedy. The gore FX, though plentiful, are weak and laughable, and the whole production seems like it was shot on a weekend by a bunch of drunk teenagers. Some will be interested strictly because of the ridiculous amount of fake blood used in the film - but even that does not save this piece of garbage. The only people who I can seriously see gaining any sort of enjoyment from these films are those that REALLY like crappy zero-budget gore films, like Andreas Schnaas' sh!tty films. If you're a fan of crap like the VIOLENT SH!T films, then you'll probably love this one. All others should either steal this from someone or pass altogether, as it is ABSOLUTELY not worth paying for...2/10 (and that's only for the "fetus" scene)
