Made in Sweden in 1995, 3 years after Peter Jackson's Braindead, it surely shows were the director (Anders Jacobsson) took his inspiration. It was his first film but it doesn't show. He uses his camera in the same way Peter did, wide angle shots and close ups also being used with wide angle. In the first 5 minutes I already smiled an laughed a lot with it. Not because it's bad but because it's of course a dark comedy. It's all about a notorious editor, Edward, being transferred from 'normal' flicks to the sex and gore department. He doesn't like those gory flicks and asks to get his old job back, refused, he edits other films and slowly becomes bonkers. There is some nudity in it but the main fact is the gore. The blood flows frequently, and sometimes becomes really gory, especially in the final. It's also an ode to the horrors from the 80's. Try to see all those posters on the wall, See Halloween playing on a television. I guess Anders also liked Evil Dead. The use of a demon, seen from the camera, moving quickly through some corridors with that typical Evil dead sound. The demonic face of the nurse, another example from Evil Dead. Really enjoyable.
