There is no hiding the fact that this is a low-budget film. The special affects and CGI are passable at best, but mostly obvious. With the exception of Udo Kier's vocal cameo, the cast is pretty much unknown.
It would be easy to write Chompy & The Girls off as just another low budget indie flick, but it really is so much more than that.
The general plot is, admittedly, ridiculous. Bit the way it plays out is brilliant.
We have dark humour which is totally on point. Plot twists that nobody will see coming. Relationship drama that is presented comically, but also very honestly and realistically.
There are moments in this movie that, despite the absurdity of everything else that happens, really hit an emotional nerve; it really doesn't take itself too seriously, but can still pack a punch when it wants to.
Ultimately, this is a film that does wonderful things on a shoestring. Make no mistake: it's an absurd, silly story. Anyone wanting a serious, cerebral horror will be disappointed.
On the other hand, if you're willing to go along with the crazy story and madcap events, you're in for a wild, entertaining ride.
