THE DORFF MAN COMETH...


Howdy!!!!!
Was having a sniff about recently and found a trailer for a film called "BOTCHED" originally called 13. It was an incredibly gory, hilarious and ultimately fun trailer. Reminiscent of Brain Dead or Bad Taste it also had the bonus of having the elusive Stephen Dorff as the main character. A bit more digging revealed a nice (if not massively B-movie plot): A bungled heist that the Dorfmeister must take accountability for and is therefore sent to Russia by gangsters to steal and ancient cross from a safe in hotel room. This robbery also goes wrong and Dorff and his team are forced to take hostages and retreat to the unused 13th floor... where things go even more horribly wrong. The film won Best Feature at the New York City Horror Film Festival as well as Dorff picking up Best Actor.
All good harmless if not incredibly gory and disturbing fun.
