     Sometimes you just come across a movie that screams "watch me" and when you find that movie you can not ignore it's screams.  These films know what it takes to get the viewers.  They hit you with a title, story, or DVD artwork that gives the potential viewer no option other than to watch it.  That brings me to the flick Porn Shoot Massacre.  MVD Entertainment is a company I have became close to recently. Clint Weiler of MVD has been nice enough to send me a slew of films to review from MVD and I thank you very much for giving me the opportunity to check these out.  For the next few months I will slowly be making my way through them all while I also review other films sent to me and also the ones I pick up for my personal collection. 
     The film follows a group of porn stars who are being offered roles in an upcoming porn and are being paid more money than usual.  On set they meet a director that is extremely friendly but something about him is just off...other than his fake mustache and wig.  However, on set not everything is as it seems.  Starlets are dying after filming their scenes by an unknown man wearing a mask.  As each girl is killed a new one is brought in to film a scene and meet her demise. It is later revealed that the director is actually a different porn director in disguise and is being paid a rather hansom salary to make the perfect horror flick...a snuff film.
     I will be completely honest with you and admit that I did not have high hopes for this flick. I assumed it was just another body count flick with shitty special effects and a lot of boobs.  However, the film is all of those things but it was entertaining as hell.  I honestly could not stop watching the film because I had no idea what absurdity they were going to throw at me next.  That is really what I like to see in a horror movie.  I really enjoy when clever thinking and taboo breaking collide to craft something fun to watch.  It may not be something new nor original but they are usually fun in the end.  The acting in this one is not the main focal point of the film.  A majority of the cast made the scenes difficult to watch.  You can definitely see which cast members are porn stars and which ones are actually actors. A little more well rounded cast would have went a long way with this film.  The story is nothing new but it does have a clever and sleazy spin to it.  The film has a slasher core but the viewer gets the boob filled porn angle infused with a fake snuff film storyline.  I really liked that aspect of the film.  It lets the viewer know that they will be seeing a lot of tits in the raunchiest way possible.  Finally, as you probably gathered, the film does not set out to give you amazing kills and great special effects because it does not.  The purpose of this film is to shock you all while giving you a hard on.  The kills are what you would find in a late 70s to early 80s slasher.  Nothing over the top and the special effects are made just for that.  Also, when you make a slasher flick you need to make the killer look bad ass and memorable.  The killer in this flick just looks like he is wearing a jock-strap wrapped around his face.  It is not menacing at all and could be confused with comical.  More thought on that would have helped this movie out as well.  Overall, if you are looking for a simple and raunchy flick then look no further.  However, do not expect award winning acting, amazing story, and even better kills because you will not find them here.  I recommend this one.
