Anale Geburt (1999)


Anale Geburt (1999) - Germany
Directed by: Leif Lorenzen and Sönke Petersen

ABOUT THE FILM:
Anale Geburt is the third and final (?) entry in a series of amateur German "splatter" films made in the year 1999 by amateur splatter label CUM Pictures. This is the last movie of theirs that would come into the public eye, as their films' materials were seized during the making of their fourth movie Fötus Gulasch.
So after Exhumed and Circumcised and Permanent Diarrhea and Hemorrhoids, what new could the colorfully-titled Anal Birth bring to the table?


REVIEW:
To be honest, this is more of a stream-of-conscience rant than it is a proper review.
What more can I say about Anale Geburt than was said about the previous two films? It's pretty much just more of the same old trash. It's a collection of short stories that have no connection to each other and are just more of the same thing. Shitting, eating shit, raping puppets, really bad amateur gore scenes, annoying camera work and really ugly video quality; the list goes on. 
The only things that remotely set this film apart from the other two is that the stories are much longer, and some of the gore effects are a bit more ambitious, even if not good. Probably the only decent effect in the film is when one of the characters is found laying in a field full of horse dung with his leg cut off by a spade. Even through the horrific quality, the effect looks halfway decent, and clearly had some effort put into it. I just wish it was in a better movie.
The problem with these movies is that they try way too hard to be shocking and gross, and have nothing else to really offer. The two shit on newspapers and crucifixes and stick googly eyes on the shit. They fuck their rabbit. They perform necrophilia on a corpse in their basement. They try to kill a puppet after discovering the puppet shits on them in their sleep. It's just pointless filth and depravity. And on top of that, the movie is way too long at about 90 minutes.
The end credits were pretty cool though.


RELEASES:
-Anale Geburt was distributed by CUM Pictures on VHS and sold through advertisements in the Gory News magazine. However, due to the scarcity of the film, it is currently only available on bootleg DVDs.
