I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Honestly it is not as bad as everyone claims. But you should know there are a bunch of bad Choices made with filming this movie but you come to expect it when watching a movie with ICP. Knowing that this is an ICP movie if you Don't like ICP you probability that you will enjoy this movie is very little. They do make several jokes about themselves and how the government treat ICP and its followers which makes it that much more funny when watching. And again I say there were a lot of bad choices where the story doesn't match up video quality isn't that good and there are several shots shown before they should have. But overall this is a decent B movie no different then watching a SyFy channel movie but this one has good music. And no crappy CGI

I found this turkey on Blu Ray at a sell-out for only a few cent. The cover looked okay but once I noticed Asylum productions I knew enough. They are known for ripping off titles from blockbusters. The last one I saw was The Terminators that was rather watchable but this here is really a turkey.The acting was really terrible and the soundtrack you have to be into rap music, it's all Insane Clown Posse that is playing. And the guys are also in this flick. What is really annoying is the news update scene's. They doesn't offer anything and is so painfully to watch due wooden performances. But the conversations are also really stupid. There are two chicks driving the vaginamyte mobile and they look indeed sexy but what a stupid language they have. The blond one shows her juggs but not sexy at all. There's a lot of red stuff to watch but it's mostly off-screen that things happens , so you never see the result, you only see the blood flying against the wall or in the air. What they tried to do was to make a grindhouse with a combination of all genres, post-apocalyptic, road movie, cyborg, gratuitous nudity, rape,...but it failed completely. Still, for lovers of gory flicks or exploitation it is okay, the funny thing is, I muted the sound and it became much better...bad CGI, but a lot of red stuff.Gore 3,5/5 Nudity 0,5/5 Effects 2/5 Story 1/5 Comedy 0,5/5

Death Racers is set in the near future where Govenor Reagan Black (Robert Pike Daniel) has a big problem, in a prison built on a old water treatment plant some bloke (Scott Levy) is threatening to release a poisonous gas called Serin into America's water supply resulting in lots of people's death's. For some reason instead of dropping a bomb on this bloke's head Govenor Black decides to hold a 'Death Race' where four teams of criminals are given the chance to earn their freedom by making it to this bloke now called 'The Reaper' for Death Racer purposes & kill him & therefore saving millions of American lives. The teams are the Severed Head Gang (S.H.G), Homeland Security, Vaginamyte & the Insane Clown Posse (I.C.P.) who all drive silly cars & all try to earn their freedom by killing The Reaper bloke...Directed by Roy Kynrim this is yet another 'Mockbuster' rip-off from those extremely untalented people at The Asylum, an obvious rip-off of Death Race (2008) with only two letters difference in the title Death Racers is easily one of the worst films I have ever seen. Right first off lets talk about the positives aspects of Death Racers, the female team are called Vaginamyte which is a quite amusing & rude play on the word Dynamite. That's it. That's the only good thing about Death Racers since everything else is absolutely terrible from the awful script to the pathetic action. Death Racers tries to be clever with some social satire including Big Brother reality TV style coverage of the Death Racers but it's so badly done & boring as to be a liability & quite frankly it's much worse than the reality TV it's sending up. Then there's the misleading title, anyone would think that death racers is about a race with lots of death involved but the cars that the death racers drive are almost inconsequential to the pot & are only there to tie in with Death Race it's ripping off & to get our criminal character's from 'A' to 'B' where The Reaper is. There is no race, there is no start or finish line & no track, no innocent pedestrians get mowed down & apart from a few rubbishy scenes of the cars driving along they barely feature. To be honest I think a lot of (our) time & (our) pain could have been saved if these guy's were just flown in by helicopter & dropped off where The Reaper was (they clearly knew where he was hiding since the GPS systems in the cars was supposed to take them to him). Death Racers is awful, it's boring, painful to watch, painful to listen to, it has plot holes galore with a terrible twist towards the end that is one of the most dull I've seen in a while, the character's are annoying, the film is made up of random events rather than a coherent story & I really can't stress just how bad Death Racers is, you have been warned.The production values are laughable, the location seems to be some sort of parking lot where these cars 'speed' along going nowhere in particular. The film has this awful cheap video look & colour scheme that just screams cheap, instead of the sky being blue it's white & all the colours are just 'turned down' & muted for want of a better expression. The violence & gore are tame, there's a couple of awful looking decapitations, a severed arm & hand (probably the same prop to save money just cut down!) & not much else. Now I don't live in the US so I didn't realise but apparently the I.P.C. (Insane Clown Posse) are a real hip-hop band & quite frankly they are awful here & I presume that at least some of the terrible soundtrack is down to them. Beside these two insane clown dudes former WCW Champion & professional wrestler Scott Levy makes his film debut here & is terrible. The cars look cheap & the guns & rocket launchers attached look like they are made out of cardboard or something, the Roboman thing also looks terrible & in a poorly shot scene (IE: you barely see anything) dons a large metallic strap-on & anally rapes a woman.Filmed on a budget that probably wouldn't buy a round at my local pub Death Racers looks terrible with rock bottom production values (the Governor's office is decorated with a flag hanging from the ceiling) & an awful cheap shot on video look. The acting if it can even be described as such is awful from all involved.Death Racers is a terrible film from start to finish & is truly awful on every level both conceptually & technically, this is a real chore to sit through. So far the IMDb comments page is littered with one star reviews & heres another, the IMDb User Ratings page says that more people voted Death Racers a lowly one star than all the other ratings put together. Do yourself a really big favour & avoid this at all costs, you have been warned!

I've so far watched this film from the start to the first advert break. I can honestly say it's the biggest pile of crap I've ever seen. It reminds me of the kind of completely staged thing you see when watching wrestling on TV, you know, when it's supposed to be a "behind the scenes" view of what goes on. The acting, effects, script and direction are terrible. I've just laughed out loud at some of the effects because they're so ridiculously bad. Not in a good way, it's like your 7 year old school kid says "look daddy, look what I made you at school today" and you just laugh at them and tell them it's crap. The kind of people who'll enjoy this are the type who watch pro wrestling and are convinced it's not staged.
