wow and after trash the disk of timo rose rout city after about 15 minute ( south park be about more than meaningless cursing . i guess some people just do not get it ) i be interested in this movie . i read quite some positive stuff and the packaging and look of the movie seem far from the total trash i expect after rout city . surprise represent the movie isn not total trash but the problem seem to be exactly that . timo rise try to walk in the footstep of german horror or splatter cinema like olaf ittenbach and the like . that mean barricade be in part extremely gory and detailed . the gore fx be not really believable but ok and the acting be ok but in some case plain suck . the hillbilly chick in the opening sequence be ridiculous and doesn not get good till she shoot . so what be the problem . the movie be gory and have a typical german underground vibe ( include the classic booby shot in blood ) and ok fx and a modern feel to it like the packaging already promise . 1. the script be total b . you get a typical hillbilly or lose in the wood story with some guy plus gal camp out and meet a degenerate hillbilly family . everything be just leading towards the torture or mutilation scene and seem unbelievably random and pointless . this be the first thing that make barricade half hearted . 2. random be also the perfect description for a lot of the camera work ( i like the repetitive cut to the tweezer in the extended booby torture scene . either they have no material or the editor work in a hardware store ) . even bad the editing . sure and it modern and far good than a lot of other movie in the genre but it random . you get an overuse of that typical exposure effect everywhere and with no meaning . it just there . all the time . then there some grainy or noisy film look which also be just throw in here and there for the sake of it and i do not get the meaning . 3. like the fore mention effect there be a lot of repetitive stuff in here . for example most of the kill be edit with multiple repetition of stab and punch . it ok once but here it annoying and fake and especially towards the end . annoy also attribute the music which be permanently use without any change in the background . it doesn not take long until it make the movie hardly bearable . 4. from all this come the big problem of this movie ( and many others in my opinion ) . if you make a splatter movie with trashy feel it pretty idiotic to polish it with special fx and new school editing . it look like they take it way too serious . it no fun because the decent gore fx be plain waste in this context . and where the classic gore fx be ok the computer fx in scene like the stabbing in the mouth or the gunshot in the end look rather silly ( and 3d splatter mostly suck to me even in movie with a budget and decent 3d artist ) . i often wonder if the time of serious splatter movie be over and barricade be just another example it might be time to put it in the tomb . it no fun and have no character and be too trashy for it look . the script be a cheap try on wrong turn and tcm lead absolutely nowhere . you can take that literally . the end be just there and as random a many other thing here ( i love you in a splatter flick . come on . ) . barricade try to incorporate a lot and fails . you can sure fast forward through this movie for some extensive disembowelment and acid face melting and nipple pinching and classic friday the 13th style stabbing of a couple while finger in a tent ( bloody booby hooray . ) . but it really hard to get through this . total failure especially because you can see it could have be something .
