Coma-Brutal Duel (1999)

This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.

It's complicated... I really like the directing, acting and writing but, there are issues with the way it's shot that I just can't deny. As much as I love the storytelling and the fantastic performance but, there are also certain scenes that didn't need to exist.

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

"Das komabrutale Duell" or "The Coma-Brutal Duel" is a German 80-minute film from 1999. The writer and director here is Heiko Fipper and he is also one of the actors. I am not sure you can say "actors", as no cast member has any acting experience apparently. From what I saw here, I refuse to call Fipper a filmmaker. It is actually his second movie. His first work is from the early 1990s and then he took a break of eight years and then he made this one here. I have no idea why he returned to filmmaking as it is certainly not the case that he improved his skills whatsoever and his first can't be worse than this one here I guess. Anyway, the title is already as baity as it gets, but the film is not good at all, or probably right what you would expect looking at a title. It's gore and splatter from start to finish, but the production values go close to zero really and it looks amateurish during its entire 80 minutes. And sadly, the effects, an area that these films usually make up for weak storytelling, are not good at all either. Is there a good thing about this film? Yes there is. It shows aspiring young filmmakers that you can still make a somewhat known movie, even if you have no talent at all. Apparetntly, Fipper has understood that filmmaking is definitely not his area of expertise and he has not made a new film in the almost 2 decades since this one. I highly suggest you stay far far away.

A bad movie, that's the truth. Despite being film Z is not a criteria to recognize this movie as good or fair, though, the film has what promises too much, much gore, no rhythm completely, a nonsensical story and uncreative ... to the make a gore movie, consider that by having 125 minutes of blood and violence, means that the viewer enjoy the gore, like me for example, I was pleased with the film ... must have rhythm, knowing when to and when not gore. In this sense the film fails ... But if we see Faces Of Death, but fictitiously ... clear Komabrutale Das Duell served, if we see gore film, with all that has to be a movie ... only see gore and not a movie.

In my quest to see the 'goriest movie of all time', I finally got my hands on a copy of Das Komabrutale Duell— a low budget German gore-fest which I had seen mentioned as a possible contender for the title. My DVD was in the original language with no subtitles, but I thought I'd give it a go regardless; from what I had heard, the story made little sense anyway.And whilst it is true that this film offers wall-to-wall gore and some scenes that are in extremely questionable taste (foetus stomping, anyone?), I have got to say that I really struggled to sit through this one, finding the endless amateurish effects tedious in the extreme.As far as I can gather, the film revolves around two warring gangs who seem to be indestructible (possibly zombies): no matter how often they are beaten, stabbed, shot or chopped, they always manage to get back up and continue fighting. What the viewer gets is an hour and a half of endless fight scenes featuring oodles of bargain basement gore. Papier-mâché heads explode and are sliced apart and fountains of fake-looking blood erupt from every wound, but these effects are executed in such an unrealistic, cartoonish manner that the results are laughable.If you too are searching for the ultimate in gory movie-making, you'll probably end up watching this one just so you can cross it off the list. But be warned, it's a real stinker and a test of endurance for any horror fan.

Das Komabrutale Duell is maybe, the bloodiest and goriest movie ever. Maybe it is. I love bloody movies, i love gore, so i should love Das komabrutale duell if its one of the goriest. Well, this is not math. I can hardly watch this movie complete. The fast-forward help me a lot on this one. Its ultra-gore, ultra-bloody, but its boring. You need at least something like a plot at least. This movie is just a juxtaposition of gory scenes, one after the other without any plot (well, its about some gangs that fight or something like that, but that its not a plot, believe me). Lots and lots of blood (lot of the blood is brown....) but it sucks big time. 3/10.
