A coma-brutal duel has begun... Three young people, frostbitten to the top of their heads and in close kinship (father + son + someone else), brutally take revenge on a colorful gang of even more cool and ruthless thugs, besides being eight pairs of Siamese twins. The bloodbath has begun. . .
German horror films, especially their thrash direction, are perhaps one of the most brutal, sadistic and simply insane in the history of the genre and if you are familiar with the creations of Jörg Buttgerright, Andreas Schnaas, Andreas Bethman or Marian Dore, then the truth of my words is 200% accurate.
Among the great number of German seditious-blood cinema, a little-known underground work by director Heiko Fipper called “Coma-Brutal Duel”, released in 1999 and combining several previously filmed novels in its structure, the plot in which, however, is described simply, because the primary dominant element of this picture has become a very realistic, fleshy-blooded sadism, the measures in which Heiko Fipper does not know at all, trying to shoot almost the most bloody and mountainous film in the history of cinema, because the audience of this film is close to the minimum of this film.
The film doesn't have Buttgerright's twisted black humor, Olaf Ittenbach's macabra or Andreas Bethman's sexuality. The closest in spirit to the Coma-brutal duel film can be called Shnaasov’s “Lawlessness”, because both pictures are related by the amateur manner of shooting in the style of “home video” and the absolute immorality of the violence taking place on the screen, in which the limbs are torn off with liters of red paint, pregnant women repeatedly open their stomachs. The laws of physics and lyrics turn into a grotesque, and the viewer, who ventured to see to the end this creation of a spatter-themed, quite possibly will fall into a precipitate or laugh nervously. Of course, at certain moments in the tape, there is a touch of atmosphere and sane acting, the soundtrack skillfully plays on nerves, but these moments are so fleeting that they immediately drown in the next scene of the massacre.
Who can I recommend this horror movie to? Definitely fans of pseudo-snuff, hard German underground and connoisseurs of splitters, whom the Coma-brutal duel is quite capable of even surprising.
