This is the first film of the creative tandem Rose/Schnaas, who enjoyed working together so much that they subsequently shot a sequel, as well as part 4 of “Limitless”. Also in this film, for the fifth time, the beloved villain of the German horror maker Karl-Butcher appears on the screen, who was played, of course, by Schnaas himself (but in the Italian sequel to “Infinity”, Schnaas plays a different role), and the scenes with him are one of the best in the entire German underground. The way he lulls the vigilance of a dull, loser director (played by Timo Rosé) singing the famous song of the Lord of Darkness from Nikos, while a hockey mask jumps on the screen, like in karaoke - you should see it! And the director Frank, by the way, a fan of Schnaas, and even in another funny scene masturbating on the photo of his idol (and this despite the fact that he plays exclusively female cast, in the face of such familiar actresses as Elinor James (God is mine, as I wished her death in the House of Massacre and how funny it is here), Eileen Daly, Magdalena Alina Kelly, Annika Strauss.
However, do not think that Karl the Butcher is the main antagonist here. Andreas Schnaas went further than his thrash hit Nikos, creating a story with a variety of monsters brought into our world with a book like Necronomicon. And the final fight with them half-naked heroine Eleanor James refers to the famous scene in the samurai action movie Sex and Fury.
Andreas Schnaas, who shot bloody horrors all his life, does not think to scare at all, frankly laughs at himself, amateur directors who dream of surpassing him in bloody skill, over the very genre of the splatter, squandering the “heartfelt” conversations of the characters in front of the astonished viewer. He seems to emphasize, already with the title, that this is just a movie, born of a rich author’s fantasy, and this is a movie about cinema, where actresses fight with the director, and he does not know what he wants to shoot, and a film about monsters, and a comedy of kicks and slaps, as in a silent movie. Stylizing a digital picture under the grindhouse, the director dissects the entire genre of limitless spreaders, eliminates many familiar scenes, frankly entertains the viewer with cartoon monsters and the same stupid victims, but finally shows that such films are shot by single enthusiasts who dream of fame and their fans. Don’t think this movie needs a translation. Schnaas deliberately drowns out the characters' speeches in a number of scenes, as if hinting: well, what does it matter what the characters say, they are only here to be brutally killed by Karl the Butcher, the Zombie Templar or the demon. Who watches spatters for speeches? Admit it, fans of this direction.
“No censorship” is an unexpected revelation from a man who had maniacs digging into the insides of victims for a long time, and the plot was full of scenes of violence. Having tried out the musical in “Don’t Wake the Dead” and the vinaigrette of villains in “Nicos”, Schnaas logically develops his own creativity, bringing us to the very edge of horror-comedy and thrash parody, unexpectedly sprouted through the bloody chaos of the flower of postmodernism, where the ghost of real thrash freely walks through the cabin in the woods, as if stitched by Sam Raimi, where everything is not true, and, looking at good special effects and makeup, it is even difficult to believe that everything is filmed for 20,000 euros. It is a pity that Andreas Schnaas now does not shoot anything else, does not write, does not draw, but is interrupted by acting work from all sorts of Wesley da Pastora, who do not know how to shoot like this. If "Nikos" was not always interesting to watch, as there was no atmosphere, but there was a somewhat monotonous action, then there is a horror balaghan, not terrible, but funny, where the action moves to hell and back, the heroes give lula monsters no less than they do, and Andreas Schnaas sings perfectly behind the scenes, because at leisure he composes songs.
Separately, it is worth noting the participation in this film of Mark Ronstock, a promising Splatter director, in whose horror fantasy, Nekronos, many actors of this film, including directors, starred.
