The Coma-Brutal Duel has gained something of a reputation among indie-horror fans for being the goriest film ever! It certainly is gory, but don’t expect nothing like Sam Raimi’s Evil Dead or Peter Jackson’s Bad Taste. Made over a period of fifteen years, Heiko Fipper’s oeuvre is merely an excuse to show an hour and twenty five minutes’ worth of ultra violence, without ever having to resort to telling a story in between the gore gags. To be fair, there is no in-between the gore gags. There’s literally nothing else to it. While technically hopeless, it does have a boundless enthusiasm that’s hard not to warm to. So brace yourselves for the ultimate masterpiece of shite. Rates high on the turd-o-meter.
