Note : If you like The Stuff or any of Peter Jackson's early output, you're sure to love this Australian splatstick horror comedy about fitness fanatics on dietary supplements that make tentacles grow, penises explode, and bodies melt. Directed (and scored and lots of other things) by Philip Brophy of → ↑ → (Tsk Tsk Tsk), it has a deliberately offensive, punk rock vibe. Connoisseurs of fine trash will not be disappointed.
This is a quite good-looking remaster, with decent but not overwhelming grain, good color, and a pumping soundtrack. It's not entirely clean of dirt and dust, but it's not so much as to really distract from the messy stuff going on in the actual movie. The English SDH subtitles were absolutely horrible quality, at times saying something completely different from what was heard on the soundtrack, and insisted on calling the electronic music score "rock" or "pop", so I had to fix and re-transcribe quite a lot, and I may have picked up a heavy Australian accent in the process.
