Die Gasmasken - Doppelt Halt Besser (2001) (Germany)

aka The Gasmask: Twice as Good


⭐️⭐️



Camcorder-shot garbage from Germany put together by a group of kids just having a good old time. A teenage boy finds a gas mask in the middle of the woods and soon his life is turned upside down by the evil thing. Some web-surfing (in real time!) uncovers the history of the mask but it does little to help as a gas-mask-wearing idiot with a sword shows up and brings on the below-low-budget violence. A lack of subtitles and the rapidly degrading tape quality my DVD was sourced from adds to the unsettling stupidity of this amateur oddity. It’s a thirty minute slice of backyard filmmaking which features chase scenes that look like an a-ha video lensed in hell, our hero running over a cat and an audio track that will have you begging for the sweat relief of deafness. Somehow, it’s really not that bad.
