"GRINDER IS A GRINDHOUSE MASTERPIECE!"
Char Hardin
Typical low-budget film out of the back yard of the director Cyn Torettes. It sounds like these are the porn star name rejects and already make me think this movie is a joke. I perservered and press play and Holy Shit, it was BRILLIANT! Their budget was a ridiculous amount of $2Grand and they crammed every trick and special effect they could into this film.
A throwback to Grindhouse. It had the look of the 70's but what set it apart from the others was the visuals and the sound effects. You don't have to listen with your headphones but you get SO many extras that you don't hear without them. Their blood work was amazing and the stuff looked real! No red dye and karo syrup this shit looked genuine!
The bodies used in this story were actual cadavers donated by local college, who practiced on the cadavers donated for Science. So the ripping and tearing flesh in this film was not prosthetics it was REAL FLESH! Finally someone has brought reality and meshed it with Horror and created a Horror Movie that will leave you totally breathless and make you feel drained as your emotions are taken on a whirlwind ride into the minds of the criminally insane. What is this about?
GRINDER is about George Spinelli (Cyn Torretts) and Farris Spinelli (Tye Deter) brothers who inherit the family meat packing business from their murdered father. The recession hit their small town pretty hard and all jobs quickly dried up, so when the old man died the brothers happily took over. Sad thing, when life turned to shit in the small town of Withespoon, the cows came down with a disease and they all died. Witherspoon was known for its meat. And it's chief source had just keeled over and died.
The Spinelli's had to do something because the chicken plant was having the same problem and they were busted for stealing a truck of poultry to make chicked patties. While eating at the local diner and listening to the short order cook bitch about lack of hamburger meat and refusing to sell veggie burgers, in walked trouble. A pack of it. These bikers who were not what is your typical stereotype of biker walked into the diner. Not the long haired Hells Angels, but the short cropped neat military cut on men who were either doctors, lawyers and cops.
A bunch of friends who take to the road on a weekend ride to get away from the daily grind of their lives. So this pack of men come in a are a little boisturous and LOUD and George sat there and fumed when one of the bikers pinched the ass of the cut waitress Cindy (Joy Ponder), who he was kinda sweet on. Joy being the town whore, reveled in the attention and even flaunted it in George's face when she went to the counter and muttered what she would like to do to few of those men. George's face became inflamed and he stormed out of the diner. Followed by the apologetic Farris.
Farris gets outside and is mortified to see that George is flattening tires of the Harleys in the parking lot. He tried to pull George off and gets an elbow to the nose and blood splurts every where. The crunching sound of Farris's nose taking the hit was real. Farris just got his nose broken. The two men fight and fists connecting with faces and other body parts, were not the typical smacking or punching sounds you hear in movies it sounded like the real deal when fist connected with face or stomach.
The bikers hear the commotion come out and are furious to see the state of their bikes and it gets ugly. Cops are called and men scatter. The Spinelli's head for the woods and are able to blend in and escape. BORING...maybe but what happened that night, put the finacially struggling Spinelli Meats back in the MEAT PACKING business. Oh and Joy Ponder...is $3.50 a pound.
