Riddle me this, my dear ole' friends; Who the fuck cares of Ogroff and his silly ends?
So lonely...who gives a shit. |
It start off in a semi-good-semi-bad way as our title killer hacks a bloody axe into the chest of a young boy who just wandered off too far from his parent's broken car. Then comes dad, decapitated into a cheap paper mache' head and then mum is chased through the countryside until she is murdered. (I'll be frank, that felt like an eternity!)
Seeing this scene, a thought came to my head: Why did I broke up with my gal? |
Everything's better with zombies? I beg to differ. |
Oh are you here to take Ogroff's throne? Take it, I don't care... |
The film concludes with the surviving victims getting killed by random psycho but in the end, who the fuck cares? I certainly don't, and frankly, I believed I just stumbled upon an hour and twenty minutes of yard work-worthy film-making which got hold of its own army of fans for reasons inexplicably twisted.
another child murder...*ho-hum* |
There's barely anything to like about Ogroff, both the titular killer and the movie itself; the gore effects are cheap and there's barely any script. In fact, I don't need subtitles to understand the French, cuz I think there's only ten or fifteen lines spewed out and the body language pretty much handled everything. But lacking plot and dialogue, Ogroff ended up feeling like a three hour run of repeated stock footage of zombies crawling out of the ground and a ten-mile marathon run escaping our masked loonie.
It'll take more than masks and kills to make me love a cheap effort; for me, it has to have style, limit and, well, pizzazz! The only time I'm gonna call Ogroff a "hit" is when I could add an "s" on the beginning!
Am I being too personal? maybe. yes. I dunno. I went to watch this out of seeing the fuss about it, but seeing what it is capable of, which is little, I'm very disappointed. I just hope I won't be going through the same fuss all over again- oh wait, there's no guarantee...*BLEEP*!
