A rock band called “The Metal Cocks”, who have a pregnant lead singer (who sports a hairy bush), go on the road to play a gig. Naturally, their van breaks down on the way to the show. The stranded musicians are almost immediately taken in by the weird locals who at first seem hospitable, if a little eccentric. However, it isn’t long before they reveal themselves to be cannibals who want to dismember, kill, and eat the band.
Despite the title, it’s really nothing like The Texas Chain Saw Massacre. In fact, it’s more like a Spanish version of Two-Thousand Maniacs with a sub-Troma budget. Or maybe a gory tribute to Jess Franco’s Killer Barbys since it features a rock band with a female lead singer. Whatever way you want to view it, it still comes up short.
The film relies heavily on grossout humor, although none of it is actually funny. It’s just gross for the sake of being gross. There are scenes of guys jacking off, lots of shit and fart humor, and even a Lambada joke. The gore includes a bloody bludgeoning, a weird scene where a clown puts a Spider-Man mask on a guy and beats him to death in front of happy children, one guy gets his dick bitten off, and a gut-eating contest. The scene where a little girl performs an impromptu C-Section by ripping the pregnant woman’s baby out of her stomach with her bare hands may have been objectionable if it hadn’t been done so crudely.
Oh, and no one uses a chainsaw until the last fifteen minutes.
As an over-the-top gore and grossout show, I guess it’ll do. I mean, if you want to see a guy shit in another guy’s face, you might enjoy it. It’s just that it never succeeds in doing anything besides grossing you out. If that’s what you came for, you may dig it.
