Badmouth (2011) User Reviews

Nothing worse than a zombie with the munchies

[nogodnomasters · 3/10 · 28 March 2018]

The film is claimed to be based on a true story..."My name is Mike and this is me story." Mike narrates the story, dies 19 minutes into the film which doesn't prevent him from continuing to narrate. He turns into a zombie. He is killed for having killed a transgender prostitute. In fact the plot moves aimlessly along, seeming lacking direction. Troma effects. Nothing special.

If a person is dead, their heart is not beating, therefore blood sprays are not possible. Last time I watch a Guy Moore true story.

Troma trash, Australian-style

[Leofwine_draca · 2/10 · 6 March 2017]

BADMOUTH is a VERY low budget quirky comedy made in Australia with that distinctly Australian feel. It was put out in the US by Troma who I suppose thought it identified with their own particular brand of low budget filmmaking. Watching it, you'll wonder why they bothered.

This film is merely a depiction of life in the rural Outback, a place occupied by an entire cast of kooks and weirdos. BADMOUTH is a film that tries so hard to be edgy and funny but fails at every opportunity. There are a few scenes involving zombies and many involving local nutters but none are convincing and all of the performances are half-hearted.

The worst thing about it is the monotonous narrator spouting rubbish all the while. The only memorable part is an entirely gratuitous skinny-dipping sequence involving a statuesque blonde actress. None of this is a reason to tune in.
