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 final installment of the Vomit Gore Trilogy, Slow Torture Puke Chamber. Spoilers Follow.
After the brilliant second installment of the series, my hopes were very high for this film. While it is a fitting end to this vomit and blood soaked trilogy, it was definitely a bit of a disappointment. After the promising first film and the amazing second film, this one sadly felt like somewhat of an afterthought. It's not terrible by any means, but it definitely wasn't what I was hoping for.
The film revolves around Angela as she's now the Devil's main girl. She does many preverted things throughout the course of the film to please Satan. Meanwhile, an alternate universe has been created, bringing a new Angela into the mix (played by Hope Likens). She too does various sexual acts for the Devil. Finally, we have Hank Skinny still torturing people in Hell, and projectile vomiting like always. I have to admit, this is my favorite film plotwise in the trilogy because it gives both Angelas time to say more dialogue. This is by far the most character driven film in the series.
The acting in this film is top notch. Amarea Lavey again does an amazing job again as Angela, a slave to the Devil. Hope Likens also does a great job as the alternate Angela. They both deliver Lucifer Valentines lines with real feeling. Hank Skinny is there again as the excessive vomiting, sun glasses clad villain torturing people in Hell. He's appropriately over the top, and something of a wonder to behold. The victims in this film are believable, and really sell being humiliated/mutilated/puked on.
The gore, unfortunately, is a weak point in this film. The only gory set piece is that of Hank Skinny performing a home style C-Section on a woman, and defiling her unborn child. The actual cutting open of the woman looks great; there are innards being thrown about, and copious amounts of blood flow. Once the baby makes an appearance, everything goes downhill. The unborn child looks incredibly fake, and really takes you out of the movie. Hank torturing the infant goes from disturbing to unintentionally funny. It's really a shame considering that the first and second film had top notch special effects. That is the only gore in this film to report.
The rest of the film has a lot of vomiting (obviously) as well as some other disgusting sequences including, a line of shot glasses full of puke, and eating crickets off a cake. Some of these scenes go into fetish territory, and I honestly didn't like it. While I understand they were there to show Angela's journey in Hell, they just didn't fit. These scenes outweigh the gore, and in a "vomit gore" film, that's a bit unacceptable.
The final installment of this trilogy was kind of a let down, sure, but it's still worth watching. As I said, the dialogue is great and the camera work/editing is better than ever. Seeing Angela's journey into Hell was a very surreal experience, and the ending was very well done. I personally just couldn't get past the fetish elements and the lack luster gore effects.
Overall, the Vomit Gore Trilogy is a must watch for any extreme horror fan. The first two films have some of the greatest gore I've ever seen, and the third film is very well put together. It's a one of a kind series and if you can stomach it, I say definitely give them a watch.
