I've talked about extreme horror in the past, and I must reiterate it's a genre that's not for everyone. Extreme horror takes you places that you don't want to go, but have always been curious about. It's like staring at a car crash on the side of the road; you can't look away. There are many different sub genres and films in extreme horror but I'm going to talk about the films of Lucifer Valentine. He single handedly created his own extreme horror sub genres as well as some of the most disgusting films I've ever seen. I'm talking, of course, about the Vomit Gore Trilogy. This hallucinatory trilogy of films is not for the weak of heart. They are some of the most gory, bizarre, nasty, and original horror films I've ever viewed. Grab your puke bucket and let's dive right into the next installment of the Vomit Gore Trilogy, ReGOREgitated Sacrifice. Spoilers Follow.
The bad pun in the title aside, this is the be all end all Vomit Gore film. If you want to see the best this twisted genre has to offer, look no further. This film is a masterpiece in its own right. The second installment of the trilogy improves upon everything in the first film and creates a lean, mean, puke and gore filled thrill ride.
Amarea Lavey does a great job again as Angela. She's moving through hell, and she's scared and confused. We see this confusion as she crosses paths with The Black Angels of Hell, and finally Satan himself. The Soska sisters do an amazing job as the demonic twins. Every time they're on screen, you are on edge waiting to see what they will do next. They really are the main characters of this film. They basically drag women down to hell to be tortured. Also making another appearance is Hank Skinny. He helps the twins torture the victims and, as always, projectile vomits everywhere.
This film is very professionally made, and you can really tell Lucifer Valentine matured as a filmmaker. The shots are better composed, and everything is well lit, whether you want it to be or not. This is definitely the easiest film to follow in the series. Valentine perfected the quick cut style, and the pacing is impeccable. This is also the shortest film in the series, making it a quick viewing. It's fast and to the point.
The gore in this film (believe it or not) is even better than the first. Valentine's vision of hell is an all white room, which is a dream for gore hounds. Every blood red murder pops against the stark background. This time around we have the twins being separated at the head via a surgical saw, various vicious beatings, one of the most realistic disembowelments I've ever seen (seriously, it looks that real), and a decapitation/eye gouging/scalping. The gore is quite simply amazing, and it'll shake even the most jaded horror fans to their core.*
The puke element of the series is featured more in this film than the first. There are many standalone vomit scenes as well as vomit being included in the gore scenes. My personal favorite was when Hank Skinny uses the freshly disemboweled guts of a victim to make himself puke. Hank also takes a decapitated head, cuts the top off of it, pukes into it, and drinks from it. Truly nasty stuff. Like I said about the first film, the vomit just elevates this film to some disgusting high. If you made it through the first film, you'll be able to handle this.
ReGOREgitated Sacrifice is an amazing extreme horror film. It's quick (at a breakneck 66 minutes), brutal, and unlike anything I've ever seen. Everything good in the first film is made better in the sequel; the acting, shot composition, gore, and vomit. If you watch only one Vomit Gore film in your lifetime, make it this one.
*The ending of this film features one of the most despicable shots I've ever seen. I won't say what it is, but it'll scar you for life, guaranteed.
