Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

If you don't like this, we can't be friends.

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

First and foremost, I do NOT regret buying this one bit. Its a low-budget gore movie and thats exactly what you get, with added comedy. The plot is very simple. Big bad barbarian called Nikos becomes a bit of a problem for some ancient Romanian people, so they go along and kill him. With his dying words he states that death will not stop him. Cut to modern day, with an exhibition of ancient Romanian art in full swing. Of course there just happens to be the mask of Nikos hanging around in a store room and right on cue - a robbery attempt occurs. Well, suffice to say, blood gets spilt, and right on Niko's mask too. Thats his signal to rise up and wreak bloody vengeance on anybody and everybody in his way.Its a monster/survivors style film, which really goes crazy at the end. I won't spoil it all, but Nikos manages to find some "special Powers" from somewhere and goes about resurrecting a few people to fight alongside him.The gore is good for what this film is. There's no ultra-realism, nor is it striven for. Some effects are so obviously fake, but strangely they don't detract from the overall impact of the film. We have people getting beheaded, cut in half at the waist and slit right up the middle! See, Nikos has one massive sword which he's quite fond of swinging at people, so we get a lot of action.Acting is amateur I'm sorry to say. And while you do expect flicks like this to have amateurs, I would have to say this is quite low. I've seen plenty of other films with better actors and lower budgets so...thats probably what knocked 2 stars off my score. Don't take it too hard though. The actors manage to drag the story along and they do OK in the screaming/running/dying categories.The words "Shower Scene" always seem to attract people's attention and certainly here we have a fairly good one. In the DVD extra's we have the full uncut (if you have the unrated DVD) version. Darrien Cane is a woman who's starred in a lot of Seduction Cinema films before so you may or may not be familiar with her. Whilst on subject, this is really the only spot of nudity we have. Its fairly explicit and all the better for it if you ask me.In conclusion, yes - do go out and buy it if you like this kind of thing. By "this kind of thing" I mean low-budget horrors with an emphasis on fun, campy gore and something great to have a beer to. Let me just mention the different versions though. IMDb tells you that the UK version is cut, and it is. In the shower scene, Nikos interrupts and there is a few seconds of literal breast-ripping that the BBFC didn't like. Subsequently this isn't in the rated version. If you can, get your hands on the uncut version - either directly from Andreas Schnaas on his site or from an importer.

This is along with Demonium Andreas Schnaas biggest Budget movie. It's his newest long-movie, and it's a gory splatter-fest! The actors suck, the filming is mostly good, but sometimes that sucks to. The effects of the movie is very good! And there is a lot of them! There is also nudity, something most men around the world likes. And if they don't like naked womens, they are probably gay. And you will also find a gay couple in this movie. So now you maybe think that this movie has it all? But no, it don't. Actually, it don't have much except good effects and one naked women. And oh, the stupid plot off course. A barbarian from old Romania! And it is now in New York. Killing people! Hehe, I don't think Andreas Schnaas cared so much about the plot and about the actors. I think he though mostly about the gory feeling that you get of this movie. Couse it is a good splatter movie. If you like splatters, this off course is a must.But this isn't the bloodiest, goriest movie on the planet either. If you want a bloody as hell German movie, check out "Das Komabrutale Duell". So to the conclusion; If you like splatter movie, check this out.If you hate movies with bad filming with a DV camera, bad actors, and so on, don't check it out.

Nikos the Impaler is pure dirt. It has the most bizarre plot ever involving a barbarian, Hitler, ninjas and a vampire.A robbery in an art museum goes terribly wrong which results in an ancient barbarian being bought back to life (as you do), who then goes on to create havoc and mayhem all throughout the modern city.Special mention must go to the camera work in this movie, it's the most screwed up I've ever seen, they keep cutting the tops of people's heads off. It's hilarious.Also, for some reason in this film, Hitler is a right fatty! It's a very good film because it's so bad that you have to keep watching it to find out what will happen next. There's a brilliant scene in video store where a young couple are trying to choose a film for the night and Nikos (the large barbarian) is walking round, happy as Larry with no-one noticing him....classic! If you watch this movie I guarantee you will never have seen anything quite like it before.I would give this movie dirt/10 for production values, but for entertainment value 8/10.

A fun movie to watch. Not meant to take seriously but a neat party flick! I am in charge of showing indie film's at an underground cinema known as the Celtic Cafe Cinema in Vancouver, BC and I showed this one for sure. I hope Andreas makes a sequel. Alot of gore and alot of slapstick. Very much like a Troma Team movie. Both a comedy and horror mixed in one. Felissa Rose as Sandra Kane does a good job especially her screaming and Joseph Zaso who plays her boyfriend Frank Heller does a decent job as well. Brenda Abbandandolo who has the supporting role as Daisy does well too. This was a shoestring budget I must say but the killings are creative and very graphic with gore! A good music score too! There's even the typical shower slaughter scene at a workout gym.
