Review:
I remember sometime last year I heard info about an independent horror film
called 'The Janitor'. Online I've spoken with the directors of the film and they
recommended that I make it to the premiere of the film. Sadly I missed it and
soon after that I've read a few positive reviews to the films on different
websites. So once the film was on DVD I wasted no time on purchasing 1 of
the 50 copies that were available (even got to signed!). So I after I watched the
film all I could say was WOW, I cant believe I bought this movie. This has to be
one of the biggest, funniest, and most brutal blood baths I've ever seen. I
LOVE IT! The Janitor is an independent horror film produced and directed by
Andy Signore and TJ Nordaker. The film is about a custodian named Lionel who
works at the Generico Corporation building along with his friend and mentor Mr.
Growbo. Lionel is treated like crap by his co-workers, and he gets them back by
killing them in a brutal way. Lionel gets lucky when he meets a bunch of sorority
girls at a bar, and offers him a job. But when Lionel thinks everything is going
his way, something happens and now he must get his revenge.
Although this is a horror film, this is also a true comedy at heart. With lovable
characters and great dialogue, not to mention fun the T&A! This movie was
written very well, and the special make up FX are awesome. If you are a fan
blood and gore, then you will definitely enjoy this movie because it is filled with
tons and I mean TONS of blood and gore. I think the best word to call it is
'Gore fest!'. This film has decapitations and a lot of bone crushing action, not
to mention a lot of ripped off body parts. The film starts and ends well. The film
isn't slow paced, and the way everything runs seems perfect. Which is good
news to all of you with short attention spans. The characters in this movie are
awesome. I really didn't have much of a problem with the acting since most of
the performances were good. In this situation the good definitely outweighs the
bad.
Andy Signore plays the leading role as Lionel, the big killer in the movie.
Although Lionel has a bad temper and tends to kill everyone who treats him
badly, he is also a sympathetic character. Bruce Cronander co-stars as Mr.
Growbo, the character in the film who is also a custodian. He is like a father
figure to Lionel. Fiona MacIntyre plays Lionel's love interest in the film. Skip Pipo
plays the role of Page, the FBI Agent who is in search of the "killer". Agent Page
is my favorite character in the movie. Hes the kind of guy that doesn't get a
clue, hes pretty much the idiotic character in the movie. Hes one of the big
comic relief characters which had me laughing a lot. Another great character in
the film is Lionels boss, who happens to be a man obsessed with STD's. I loved
the dialogue in this film. Like I said before this film is very well written, and the
dialogue is filled with smart jokes and a lot of fun sexual humor.
This film is definitely a comedy at heart. The dialogue is funny, some of the
characters are funny, but also some of the bloody situations are just pretty
damn hilarious. I swear I clapped throughout the entire film. It gives you the
same feeling when you watch one of Peter Jacksons old films. Over the top gore
mixed with smart comedy. I also like the fact that this movie is different from all
the other stuff we have been seeing lately. With big budget movie companies
nowadays, its hard to come up with something new and original. Which is why
we are seeing more and more remakes. This movie definitely shows that there
still is room for new ideas. Maybe those big budget companies should pay more
attention to the Independent film makers. I definitely appreciate the
independent genre and I hope that in the near future more indie films turn out
more like this one. So yeah when it comes to the comedy and gore, its all
great. The gore and sexual humor should please any hardcore horror fan.
Oh man did I have a ball watching this movie. From beginning to end its very
entertaining. The Janitor is smart, funny, grotesque and is something every
horror fan should see. If you haven't seen it yet then I highly recommend that
you pick it up once its available. Gather with some friends and have a small
party cuss this is a great, fun and very enjoyable independent film. If you like
your horror mixed with humor, then you wont feel cheated with this movie. I
am also proud and happy to say that the Janitor is being released on DVD from
Elite Entertainment. On September 6th you can pick up this movie which will
include some great bonus material. So when this comes out be sure to march
your ass down to your video store and buy it. The Janitor is a fun and
entertaining gore fest
