Insane
I saw this film and personally appreciated it's take. though not great, it was worth watching. I think any hardcore horror fan will dig its respect to old school horror. Cast wise, Mack Hail I thought did a pretty damn good job portraying a serial killer that was interesting and different. There's this scene in the film where he's pacing back-and-forth in his little apartment and the dude starts doing some like, primitive whacked out thing with his head! I'd had also seen his film "switch killer" (director) witch I thought was cool. good film by Palumbo the director showcasing some pretty hot girls. I mean it's kinda of raw, but I think that's part of it's charm. and I now am a Mack Hail fan in anything he does. If you've seen films like "Carnage road" you'll know what I mean. I thought the movie bit, but mack was hilarious. I recommend "nutbag for any hardcore horror fan.
the Slasher Film is....... BACK!!!!
Nick Palumbo's debut film NUTBAG provides a peek inside the world of an of a serial killer. The film basically just follows the "killer" around while documenting both his crimes and his thought process. The "killer" whom is played by Mack Hail (whom is also the director of SWITCH KILLER) is an excellent character. Mack Hail totally brings this guy to life and deserves MUCH credit for his performance. He really keeps your attention at ALL times and hopefully we'll see him resume the role in the rumored NUTBAG 2. NUTBAG is a loving tribute to films such as MANIAC (without coming off like some fan-boy tribute film) and I think it's an excellent debut for Mr. Palumbo. Their are some areas that are lacking (mainly some of the obvious filler) but ANYTIME Mack Hail is on screen it's great stuff. The dialogue is fantastic, the locations are great..... The actress's are beautiful.... The story is very cool and the directing is top notch... Miles ahead of most no budget underground films. Anyway...... As mentioned, it's a very solid debut film for Nick Palumbo! He's a director who's looking to get horror BACK to what it once was and I think NUTBAG is an excellent 1st step towards accomplishing that goal. He did a LOT of things right in this film and casting was probably his BEST move as Mack Hail REALLY gets the job done as the KILLER! The character is a total psycho but ya still can't help but root for him!
Early version of "Murder-Set-Pieces"
I viewed Nick Palumbo's "Nutbag" around 12 months after the much maligned "Murder-Set-Pieces". As a result, my appreciation of "Nutbag" is perhaps not as great as it would have been had I watched the two films the other way 'round. "Nutbag" is in many ways a prototype of the excellent "Murder-Set-Pieces". Shot on a zero budget with video, "Nutbag" lacks the visual flair and pace of its successor, not to mention the audacious effects by the Toe Tag crew. This is not to say "Nutbag" is a bad film, that simply isn't the case. It's just missing the "x" factor that makes "M-S-P" such a powerful and taboo-shattering experience. What "Nutbag" has going for it are some simple but impressive scenes, a riveting and convincing portrayal of the killer and a decent score. Mack Hail is excellent as the lead role. His physical presence and self-assured movements are chilling on screen - this is a man who is believable as a cold-blooded killer. Hail portrays the anguish of his character brilliantly. In a scene where he starts to lose it within the claustrophobic quarters of his rented accommodation, you can see the character's sanity slipping. His monologues (where he talks to his spider, Heinrich) reveal an insight into how the Killer has turned out the way he has. As with "M-S-P", Palumbo's film contains a cast of lovely actresses. He's also able to extract from some of his cast terrific and terrifying performances. There are members of the cast who truly give 100% here and it's not surprising that some wish to remain nameless. There is a real sense of vulnerability and gritty peril in this film. One thing that interested me was the references to other movies in this film. Among the pornography adorning his walls, The Killer has memorabilia from "Texas Chainsaw Massacre", "The Burning" and "Psycho" is his home. Although not inspired by such characters, it's a sign that perhaps he uses them to justify his actions. While not a masterpiece by any means, "Nutbag" shows that Nick Palumbo is a talented director. Only the budget lets him down in this film. Worthy of a rental, "Nutbag" won't be to everybody's taste. It's a relatively short film and is quite episodic in nature. For those with an interest in zero-budget film-making, this is an interesting film and one that rises above its limitations.
A Real Insight Into a Killers Mind.
Nutbag is one hell of a slasher flick! "The Killer" is played by Mack Hail, and he is very impressive, it is just like watching a real killer who has recorded his events on a camcorder. This killer, stalks and kills innocent women at random and in a brutal fashion, he chants to himself while in his house, and rampages through it! The music score is excellent and there is piles of gore too, more than enough to keep the gore hound happy. So, you were thinking about getting Henry: Portrait Of a Serial Killer instead?? Bad choice! Nutbag is 10 times better than Henry, overall Henry, in my opinion does not even compare. I mean it! this is the only serial killer flick you'll need!. People often wonder why at the point in the film, why does he rampage through it, in slow motion. Well, I think I know. The killer has a hatred for "wh***s" and his pictures of naked women on his room walls, notice carefully as he runs up and down, he is looking at the pictures! I think this scene is showing has rage and his anger for them. Overall 10/10, I can't say I have seen a more impressive low budget killer flick ever, Nick Palumbo I salute you! NC-17: Graphic Violence, Explicit Sexual Images and Very Strong Language. Over 18's only.
Nutbag, a disturbing portrait of a madman.
Nutbag is a peek into the inner torment of a madman. A nutbag as played by Mack Hail. Women reject him or ignore him totally. Our Nutbag is unable to form close emotional connections with those around him. His only friend is a tarantula named Heinrich. His room is filled with pornographic images and horror posters and figures. This isolating and claustrophobic environment breeds nothing but frustration, anger, and despair. The Nutbag develops a bloodlust that is only satiated by the murder of delicious hookers played by the likes of porn's Davia Ardell. Renee Sloan is a beautiful neighbor who does not suspect the Nutbag beside her. Fright Flix and Nick Palumbo's initial film-making effort is only a taste of the future as we now have experienced it in Murder-Set-Pieces.
