Tubi Thursday: Body Melt (1993)

 Sometimes a Title just calls out to you.  In this case, it said 'Hey, watch me.'

That was like 5 months ago.  I'm finally doing it.

Let's see how Splatter Horror was done in the Land Down Under...

In a weird Opening, we see a man injected with a drug post coitus.

The woman with him narrates about him 'losing his nerve,' so she injects him with a drug that will kill him.

He tries to make it to the future victims...but things don't work out for him.

It all relates to a company pumping people in a cul-de-sac full of strange chemicals and pills.

What's the harm?

Read the Title, silly!!!

A B-Plot involves two young men from said place stopping at a Rest Stop, which turns out to be occupied by a crazy man and his inbred children.

This goes on for A LONG TIME and only becomes relevant to the Plot right before the end.

The main Plot- which shows up about 45 minutes in- involves more of the Test Subjects going to the main Facility.

As you can see, it is well-guarded.

Once we get to closer to the Hour mark, the crazy stuff finally starts to happen quite frequently.

As the Title implies, you will see bodies melt, bodies mutate and body parts explode.

I...can't even tell you what is in this guy's mouth.
Trust me.

Will the people behind this get away with everything?
Will the Cops (who are always a Scene behind) solve the case?
Will anyone be left to celebrate?

To find out, stream the weird-ass Film.

It's like someone saw Society and Brain Dead, but thought there wasn't enough splatter.  Did they actually make a good Film in which to contain all of their splatter ideas?  Well...no.

The Film was made by first-time (officially) Director Phillip Brophy, who was part of a Punk Band (who did the Soundtrack).  The Film, in turn, is weird, random and very unfocused.  It doesn't quite know what the real Story should be...so it just focuses on every random thing.

If you watch these Films for the crazy Practical Effects and Splatter, it won't disappoint...with a caveat.  As noted, you'll have to wait a bit for the big, crazy moments and dark humor.  They are...something, that's for sure.

If you like weird, random Splatter mixed with lots of dark humor, it's worth a look.  If seeing a person's face explode isn't for you, then this Film isn't either.

A weird Film that isn't a technical masterpiece.  What it is, however, is a strange bit of Splatter fun for those into that kind of thing.
