WICKED NASTY TEASER TRAILER TRASH

August 4th 2008 06:23
Wicked Lake ladies
I’m dealing with Mondayitis. So what better substance abuse than posting a trailer to a new piece of deep trash. Wicked Lake (2008), director Zach Passero's debut, is a low-rent indulgence in backwoods violation mayhem that should’ve been shunted straight to DVD, but apparently has managed to secure a theatrical mean season Stateside.

In a nutjob, err nutshell; four girls gone wild head to the woody hills for a little carpet lickin’ r&r, however their fun time is interrupted by four demented men who have a little last house on the left intent. Cue misogynistic behaviour from hillbillies ("Suck the nub!"), and then at the stroke of midnight, cue ladies who lunch.

Yup, these young hardbodies are not your average college co-eds. They’ve got acquired tastes, and unlike traditional witches, these girls prefer to use their broom handles in more adventurous fashion. “Life’s a witch … and then you die.” Gee, which bright spark thought that doozy up?

By the looks of the enthusiastically exploitative trailer Wicked Lake is very much in the Troma-vein of over-the-top bad taste shenanigans and cruel bloody jokes. A messy mélange of comedy and horror with as much nudity and perverse action as an “unrated” movie will allow in these strangely conservative times.

The tone is severed and thrown out the window, the dialogue is ramped up to Ripesville, and the body horror is torn asunder. Wicked Lake aims to have as much irresponsible, nasty fun while the moonshine lasts.
Wicked Lake rock hard in a funky place
I get the impression there’s a trend in modern horror, especially the titles coming out of America, to pay “homage” to the grindhouse movies of yesteryear. Tarantino and Rodriguez’s double-whammy Grindhouse: Planet Terror & Death Proof (2007) may have failed commercially, but it has certainly planted the seeds of much corruption in dozens of other filmmakers.

Of course, making a purpose-built grindhouse flick is actually an anomaly. The original grindhouse movies were deep trash by nature, not by design.

Wicked Lake looks like it tries too hard, but hey, try away, I say. It co-stars Angela Bettis (May), so it can’t be that bad, can it? It probably can, and will be. No doubt the DVD will hit down under shores sooner than later. Prepare to get your fingers bruised and sticky.

Here's the trailer trash:

Would I enjoy this? I dunno, it looks like it's trying too hard to be grindy?

Would I be bad if I said that it looks wicked.

Life is a witch and the you die?
Holy crap that is lame.

Yet after seeing the promo for Bitch Slap I am now corrupted,
