Karry Best movie of this year hands down!

BootDigest Such a frustrating disappointment

SnoReptilePlenty Memorable, crazy movie

Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

Sandcooler "Parts Of The Family" is from the same director as "Maniac Nurses", but it's never quite as trippy as that flick. It is about twice as incompetent though. While "Maniac Nurses" at least had some kind of atmosphere to it, this just looks cheap and nothing else. There's not much in the way of plot either. It starts off okay with some (albeit very low-budget) action scenes, but then we're stuck in a boring old house for most of the running time. The gore scenes are laughably unconvincing. We never ever see a weapon actually touch a victim, it's all cut-aways and ketchup wounds. There's just no excitement whatsoever to any of the kill scenes.So why a 5? Well, the movie does have some charm to it. I'm just a sucker for Belgian horror cinema, mainly because there's so little of it around. It helps that this movie is shot mostly with Belgian actors who are forced to speak English for the international market. This leads to some really awkward and thus magnificent line readings, particularly from the hapless police inspectors. Furthermore, lead actor Bob Dougherty does bring some charisma to his role as a gangster. His dialogue is nauseatingly repetitive (basically nothing but threats), but somehow he still sells it and stays entertaining throughout. Strange how he only appeared in two films and called it quits. Cecilia Bergqvist isn't going to win any Oscars for her performance, but she's topless in the very first scene! Talk about not wasting any time. P.S: I've seen the original version, not the re-release by Troma. I hear that version is actually better, but I haven't obtained a copy yet.

Leofwine_draca PARTS OF THE FAMILY is a Belgian horror flick made on a very low budget. The plot twists and turns are over-obvious and the story is simplistic, beginning with a massacre before moving on to a hostage situation with a twist or two. It's basically an exercise in grubby gore, with a big set-piece involving gut-munching which is sure to delight horror fans. The rest is trashy in the extreme, featuring an unconvincing lead actress and a cheap filming style which means it's never disturbing despite the content. I have to admit that the bandaged zombies do look pretty cool, however.

movieman_kev Led to believe that Ron Jeremy, Stan Lee & Debbie Rochon were in this (they're in the Troma re-edit, but not the version that I saw via Netflix on the xbox 360), I decided to give this one a go. It's about Elle (Cecilia Bergqvist) and how she gets taken hostage one day by a failed bank robber who holes up in her house while the police (one of which is Troma's Lloyd Kaufman, always energetic). have the place surrounded. he hostage is far from helpless though and has a few plans up her sleeve to turn the tables.Part cop drama/part slasher/part zombie movie, this film is all over the place and as such never truly decides what it wants to be. It's a schizophrenic experience, yet not one without merit (little as it may be) There are some parts that shine, but the film as a whole lacks a cohesiveness to make it a good film sadly.Eye Candy: Cecilia Bergqvist gets topless at length multiple times My Grade: C

lastliberal Action starts off hot and heavy with a thief running from the police while Ella (Cecilia Bergqvist) is showing her magnificent body while dressing. Soon, the two converge as she is taken hostage.During a flashback to the history of the house they are hiding in, we get to see a lot more of Ella. And, also hear her great screaming voice. It was the best pair of tits I ever saw wielding an ax and a pitchfork. Amazing! Then, the thief discovers Ella's secret. And, what a secret it was! This where things gets really disgusting in true Troma style.I never did see Debbie Rochon, although she is listed as part of the cast, but Cecilia Bergqvist more than made up for her absence. Oh, Yeah!
