Botched

Botched (2006): This can be classified as sort of an “Abbott and Costello meet the Hostel Saw”. The movie is part caper movie, part horror movie, part comedy, and part over the top gory slasher movie. You know they threw a lot of fake blood around when there is a credit at the end for the ‘blood runner’. I enjoyed this flick and while not for everyone’s taste, it had me rolling in the aisle most of the time unless I was grabbing for my air sickness bag.
After a robbery in France goes awry, the lead felon is given another chance to pay his debt by robbing a Russian holy cross from a large building in Moscow. He hooks up with a pair of inept Russian hoodlums and this robbery soon goes off track too. They grab the cross but then get stuck in an elevator with a bunch of less than helpful hostages. Soon their worries about the police are the least of their problems as the cast is picked off in horrible ways. Filled with wild accents, wild action and escalating violence, it is slowly revealed that they are up against some Ivan the Terrible wannabes that are into human sacrifice in a big way and are not too concerned about how messy the activity becomes. Some of the hostages are a hoot, especially the Russian ex-army commando who is quite ineffective but lasts longer than most. Botched is highly recommended for those with a strange sense of humor and a strong stomach. The movie was unrated but would cut out an R for: ballet in combat boots, multiple shootings, multiple ricochetings, multiple stabbings, mace to the head (not the tear gas variety but the old tried and true type), multiple bloodly trails, multiple bloody entrails, decapitation, de-leg-afication, involuntary ear piercing, rat burning, wacko burning, alpha male burning, and especially for the shower of bodies and assorted parts falling onto amorous guards involved in horizontal activities with several ladies.
