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

hyped garbage

Boring

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Dreadful home made movie filmed early morning hours and late late evenings on th streets and back alleys of Las Vegas with a hand held video camera.The victims are hookers.Their bodies are hot.Acting is not.There is no story.Just a bad acting doofus who kills hookers and delivers lines like "these hookers sure bleed a lot" and "death will be along longer than me." I think I counted 4 or five murders in the first 15 minutes. How he disposes of all these bodies or why there isn't a manhunt underway is never discussed.Neither is the clean up.Or why he talks to a spider.Nothing makes sense and what's scary is many of these folks have been in other films, so they are getting work.The first victim, however, isn't. By far, she has the most smoking body of all the hookers and was probably a stripper in Vegas. Today you'll find her back in Texas working for a auto dealer.I also need to mention that the camera work is disturbing on a couple levels...it appears the movie was made in HD and it gives a very homemade feel. Not good.But more disturbing is that the film is obviously made to avoid film permits. I wonder how all the pedestrians would feel if they knew their faces were showing up in this obambination.

In Nick Palumbo's debut movie Nutbag, a screwed-up serial killer at work in Las Vegas (Mack Hail) attempts to bore horror film viewers to death by delivering 80 minutes of badly written, introspective dialogue, only stopping to off chesty bimbos in spectacularly unconvincing fashion, or to pet his tarantula Heinrich.Hail, an imposing, broad-shouldered figure with a mean glare and shaven head, certainly looks as though he is a few sandwiches short of a picnic, but he lacks the necessary acting chops to convincingly portray a multiple murderer, delivering his lines in a flat, monotonous manner that I imagine is meant to convey the emotionless state of the killer, but which, in reality, has the numbing effect of a heavy sedative.Four years after he made Nutbag, director Palumbo gave the horror world Murder-Set-Pieces, another film about a crazed killer; that film succeeded by shocking viewers with an endless gallery of nasty OTT gore (provided by the talented Toe Tag FX team). Nutbug's kill scenes, however, are laughably amateurish, with several stabbings that seem to utilise a joke-shop knife (you know... the type that has a retractable blade), and a really bad throat slashing featuring a patently obvious prosthesis.Admittedly, Nutbag isn't an entirely worthless experience (for blokes, at any rate) since it does feature an endless parade of skin from a series of hot, nekkid chicks. All I can say is that it's a good job for Palumbo that a city like Vegas has no shortage of big breasted strippers desperate to become famous, because without the gratuitous nudity, his film would be totally unwatchable.

Even with all the unethical and annoying spamming done on the IMDb horror board by Fright-Flix employees - I was still one of the few that admitted to liking Nick Palumbo's MURDER-SET-PIECES. Regardless of the "marketing techniques" of the Fright-Flix crew - M-S-P had several elements that I liked about it, even though as many others have (rightly) noted - the film is shallow, contains no memorable acting performances, and is not NEARLY as "disgusting" nor "groundbreaking" as the F-F advertisors would have you believe. Well, I can honestly say (with no malice) that NUTBAG does not. This is a weak film with horrible performances by all - and I would be willing to bet that all of the "10/10" ratings that you see on this film on IMDb are written by Fright-Flix employees. I refuse to believe that anyone could possibly view NUTBAG as a "perfect" film... On to the "plot" - a "psycho-killer" who talks to his pet spider kills hookers and strippers in Las Vegas. Pretty much the same plot as M-S-P, just done on a much cheaper budget - and with even WORSE actors...oh - and there's no spider in M-S-P... The only reason I don't give NUTBAG a lower rating, is because honestly - I have seen much worse. Given the rise in popularity of no-budget, shot-on-camcorder "extreme" horror films - there are many worse films available (watch anything by Andreas Schnaas if you don't believe me) - but I found almost nothing about NUTBAG redeeming. Mack Hail as the "killer" was wooden and un-menacing. The "storyline" was dull and hollow - giving no real explanation or "view" into the killer's mind - other than showing that his mom was killed by her black lover in front of young Nameless Killer when he was a boy - thus somehow spurning him on to kill a bunch of hookers...yeah - makes sense to me. Although he does kill one inter-racial couple which makes some sense given the background - but based on the bigoted undertones in both this film and M-S-P - I'm starting to believe that these are just "vehicles" for Palumbo to play-out his fantasies. Also - the gore FX in NUTBAG are weak and unconvincing. On the up-side - we have 2 vag-stabbing scenes and a good bit of tits-n-ass. I can't really recommend this one to anyone, unless you're really hard-up for a low-budget and pointless slasher film...3/10

a truly pathetic film, nutbag supposedly takes us into the mind of a serial killer for ten days, but instead simply rehashes the same scenes almost without fail over and over again. the killings, almost all of the same type of girl, are very poor. we simply see the killer approach the victim, and then we see a bloody corpse. never actually the killing itself. the reason for this becomes abundently clear when the one special effect employed in the film, the cutting of a mans throat, is played out in a laughable excuse of a scene. for a film supposedly so disturbing, i defy anyone not to laugh out loud at how bad this part was.but above all, even at 80 mins, its just terribly boring. the scene in which the killer, (played by mack hail with enthusiasm but fundamentally no talent) stalks and murders the girl in the park goes on forever, and we already feel as though we have seen the same scene many times before. because, in all honesty, we have. its simply repetition that kills the movie. the killings are the same, his needless rantings to himself about death are all the same, and his conversations with heinrich, his pet spider, are all the same. i'm being semi-serious when i say heinrich gave the best performance.so, a total waste of time. appallingly made, incredibly dull, not even that violent, and certainly nowhere near 'so bad its good' status, nutbag exists only as a testament to the fact that anyone with a video camera can make a 'film.'
