Four yutes, wearing what look to be the Grandpa masks from the original
TEXAS CHAIN SAW MASSACRE, film themselves going around dry humping trash cans and mailboxes and trees
and concrete walls and refrigerators and dumpsters and anything else they can
clamp onto. They also dance around and destroy shit. At 30 minutes this would
have been hilarious, but at 78 minutes it gets old. Especially the scenes
where everybody is just standing around doing nothing. There is no real plot
or story and the entire thing is made to look like it was filmed on a 300
year-old VHS camera from the 1800's.
I like the bizarre concept and I'm a fan of Harmony Korine, but TRASH HUMPERS
comes off as if he's trying too hard to be different. But hey, it
is different and that's something. I just wish there had been more
substance. Like maybe a bleak underlying darkness running throughout the film.
Stuff going on in the back ground that is silently telling a really, really
fucked up story and the viewer doesn't notice it until the end of the movie.
Or ever. That's just my worthless opinion.
If you like weird cinema, then TRASH HUMPERS is worth checking out.
