Like most splatter movies, "Sweatshop" features a melding of brutal violence with brutal tedium.
This one also has sexy ladies and a little bit of nudity, but unlike the violence, that is not put to much use and is mostly negligible.
This review could be used to describe basically any splatter movie. It's been the same story with every particularly violent slasher I've watched recently: from low budget affairs like "100 Tears" and "Headless" to better budgeted sleeper hits like "Laid to Rest" and "The Collector", these movies exist to show violence, and unfortunately, we still need things like plot and characters to string the violent scenes together.
If only the people who make these movies could show half as much zeal for telling a cohesive story as they do for showing intestines falling out.
The plot (not that you care) is about a few sexy Suicidal Girl types who break into a warehouse with their obnoxious male friends. Their reason for this is to start an illegal rave, so it's interesting that they are all dressed in punk style.
Anyway, the warehouse is not unoccupied, there are at least a couple of assailants hiding out there, and you can probably guess what happens next.
Interestingly (?) this one has more than just the usual one bad guy that slasher movies always hang their hat on. The bad guys in it look like something out of "Silent Hill" or "The Evil Within". There's only one bad guy who really got my attention though: a huge person wearing a welder's outfit and holding a massive sledgehammer.
The conclusion, a must-see for anyone who hates ravers, is actually something special, but will you still be paying attention by the time you get there?
