December 28, 2014In this crazy Australian film, a vitamin company starts distributing free trials of their new drug to an unsuspecting and quiet community in Melbourne. The drug promises to create a better life but obviously fails miserably. The first phase of the drug is hallucinogenic, the second is glandular, and the third is... The third phase is disgusting. A man's face bursts, while a pregnant woman's placenta chokes and kills her husband and her insides cave in. Another man projectile vomits green ooze all over a police station, while a family who visits the company's health spa all meet their sticky ends as melted body parts. A body-builder on a ridiculous steroid regimen pops during sex and another woman's face simply melts. Mostly, 'Body Melt' was an amazing showcase for as much over the top blood and guts (emphasis on the guts) as they could get away with, and it was wonderful. There was also a family of back-woods psychopaths who found pleasure in killing. The leader of the psychopaths was the former partner of the doctor who invented the vitamins that were killing people and it turned out he had stolen the key ingredient that would stabilize the formula. That didn't matter though. All that matters is we got to see a lot of gooey, gushing guts and puke in some of the most revolting displays possible. 'Body Melt' is a classic, non-stop, gross-out film that deserves a wider audience. It isn't gory, but it is very much gross, and I love it.
