Review of Stash

Stash (I) (2007)
3/10
that laugh drove me nuts
29 May 2009
Two stoner's happen across some psychotic hillbilly nicknamed Bud's stash and in order to escape with their lives they agree to kidnap three woman and take them to said hillbilly. The movie starts with them onto the second, Sarah, a girl who's car broke down on the way to going to her parent's house for a birthday party, while the first victim is still running through the woods of rural Kentucky, completely naked being chased by the maniac. Sarah's dad, Jack who's a retired detective teams up with the local sheriff to find his gore. Genre mainstay Debbie Rochon is also on-hand for a brief turn as the drunken mother of the first abducted girl.

I really wanted to give this movie the benefit of the doubt because I know full well that making a low-budget feature length film is hard under any circumstance, and I was going along with it...up to a point. That point being the introduction of 'Bud', he was the most annoying inefficient joke of a heavy that I've witnessed in quite some time. His constant laugh which was supposed to make him sound crazy (I supposed) only came across as heavily grating on my nerves. The rest of the cast fairs fine enough. It's just Bud that ruined the picture for me. No strike that, Bud AND an insanely stupid ending tag set '10 months later' (which I won't spoil, but it's already spoiled for anyone who looks at the DVD extras)

Eye Candy: Elysee and Tiffany Taylor bare all (the Making of in the extras also features nudity, as do the some of the trailers)

My Grade: D

DVD Extras: Commentary by Producer/Director/Writer Jacob Ennis; second commentary by executive producers Billy & Denise Blackwell; a 15 & a half minute Making of the film; blooper & outtakes reel; an interview with Debbie Rochon; video of the special effects guys making 'bud Jr'; music video ('still I bleed' by POWND; and trailers for this film as well as "American Punks", "A Feast of Flesh", "Blood and Sex Nightmare", "Cannibal Campout", "Woodchipper Massacre", "Ghoul School", "Video Vilonce 1 and 2", "Beauty Queen Butcher", "Splatter Beach", "Zombie Bloodbath trilogy", & "Killing Spree"
