Review of Pervert! (2005) by Robert B — 08 Jan 2010

Obviously, there are movie makers out there who are fans of Russ Meyer, as this Mary Carey vehicle has Meyer's stink all over it. Someone decided it would be a good idea to take some Sam Raimi elements and mix them with some Troma stylings. Then they dropped a big ass jug of Russ Meyer in there and WHAM... herpes. No wait... WHAM... a great movie!

Pervert with an exclamation point is a silly sex comedy with a little horror that takes us in all sorts of weird directions. The plot involves a college guy returning to his father's desert ranch, only to find that he has remarried a young, very hot blonde, played by the insurmountable Mary Carey. Some other ladies show up later to ensure lots of nudity from start to finish, including some random cut-aways to naked women dancing in the desert. As well as having Carey on board, look for some quick shots of fellow adult film star Lucia.

Odd things start to occur when a little creature begins running around the ranch causing problems. We often are allowed to see through the eyes of the creature, RaimiCam (tm) style. Also, the father is apparently trying to build women using ground meat. Like a meat loaf, except it is shaped like a woman. At one point, a naked zombie woman shows up.

I know, I am still trying to make sense of the whole thing.

It is nice to see a movie that captures the fun of a Meyer picture, staying firmly in the land of schtick and schlock. The bad acting, the over acting, the cheesy dialog, the mountain of gratuitous nudity, the low-budget fake-looking gore, and an undeniable sense of fun and goofiness makes this a memorable, aptly titled movie. Do yourself a favor and rent this one. Just turn your brain off before you dive into the fleshy orbs.
