So, a movie about a killer ass, huh? Well, I'd be lying if I said that's the stupidest idea I've ever heard for a low-budget horror movie. Come to find out, there are much... much worse stories out there, maybe not quite so random, amateurish, and not well thought out But really, what can I say, other than, at least it wasn't shot on video.
Meet portly Wade, an over-weight, curly-haired, annoying, clueless reject of a human, who spends most of his time playing Atari (nice touch) and by most, I mean 100 %. Wade lives with his so-called friend, Brian, Brian despises Wade for his rudeness, for his body odor, for the way he always barges in on him and his girlfriend, for his inability to realize his voice is stupid, but mostly, because this waste of space doesn't have the damn common courtesy to pull his pants up now and then. It almost makes him mad enough to throw a (plugged in) stereo in the tub when Wade finally decides to take a bath, and by almost I mean Wade is now dead from electrocution, serves him right for being such a thoughtless oaf. What Brian doesn't know is that Wade's sister is into voodoo, and somehow she knows exactly what went down. Hell bent on revenge, sister Wade puts a curse on... her dead brother, I guess. Portly Wade is now resurrected as a zombie, although, he thinks he's still alive, and really doesn't mean any harm, the mere sight of his crack kills. Jeepers, what an awesome idea for a movie!!
Good God!! What would possess someone to come up with a story like this? I'll just assume this movie was made with the desperate hope of being picked up by Troma, well, congratulations gang, your wish came true, and I'm sure they're as proud as they can be. Personally, I would have liked it better if it remained a "roommate from Hell" comedy, and things had continued till Brian blew his own brains out right before the credits, but that's just me. Perhaps I've been a bit too hard on this movie, it has style, and a really enthusiastic feel to it, and a catchy little score, and it has decency to not wear out its welcome at 68 minutes. I recommend Buttcrack mainly because if you have any sense of humor at all, chances are good, it'll make you laugh, and ultimately, that's all that matters. Yay for Buttcrack. 7/10
