Analysis
Come on admit it. You can't help but be intreged by the delightful title that this particular movie has attached to it. It conjurers up all types of weird and nasty little images that go hand in hand with horror films. Just look at the artwork on the DVD sleeve, a man with his finger up his nose and a knife in his other hand, genius. So off we go to delve deep into another obscure cinema masterpiece.

The film starts out with the introduction of a total loser by the name of Joe. Joe seems to spend most of his time stalking high school girls and generally making a nuisance of himself. This one particular day an old tramp offers a great secret to Joe in return for a swig on his bottle of booze. Anyway, one ridiculous scene later and Joe has uttered a secret incantation to himself which changes Joe into Jo without the e. O.K, so this is low budget so we don't get to see a great computer effects as Joe transforms, but we can forgive that. What we can't forgive however, is the next sixty minutes of mind numbing, ham handed story telling.

The crazy plot places Joe in a position that allows him to gain access to the high school girls enabling him to have his wicked way with them. Now along the road to the credits we get a few genuinely amusing moments like the Male transvestite prostitute and the corridor scenes in and around the high school that see Joe lusting after the girls. Had these scenes been more prolific, this film could have been a little special but the two examples above are the only ones I can think of from the whole movie. To me, this indicates that the writers are going for a darker and straighter horror story. So where is it written in the 'How to make a good horror film' book does it say that the dialogue has to be pointless, the tension has to be extinguished and the acting must be crap.

Some of the murder scenes are well done but are far too brief and choppy to appease the appetite of a true gore munger and the flesh count is nonexistent. What else does it have going for it. One more question burns in my mind though, why the Nostril Picker? Yeah he picks his nose twice during the film, but he's also seen drinking and eating a couple of times but they never called it the Picnic Massacre (© The Film Asylum). An interesting title for a dull film.

Key Area	Rating (out of 5)	Comment
Action		A short foot chase erupts near the end of the film, but it was all too little too late by then.
Thrills/ Tension	NONE	Not once did I feel my heart beating in my chest any faster than if I were asleep, which I probably was.
Violence/ Gore		The murders show moderate gore even though it is kept brief. We are treated to Joe's version of human air conditioning (a knife in the chest) and a slit throat that was actually quite well done (FX wise I mean, how would I know what a real throat slitting was like).
Bare Flesh	NONE	A little flesh could have helped push the score higher, but even I'm not that sad.
Plot		Yes, it does score one for plot and that was only because the plot was so ridiculous that I fear that the writer might be a little unbalanced and hunt me down if I were too harsh.

Verdict In a nut shell, what we have here is several poorly illustrated murder scenes that have been loosely bound by a pointless and poorly executed script. Yeah so there were a few amusing moments that kept this film from getting zero, but surely you could find a more satisfying way to spend 76 minutes (which funnily enough is around the time it takes for wall emulation to dry. I think you know where I'm coming from).

Interesting title, pointless plot.
