While a group of idiots are putting together a haunted house in time for Halloween, their leader, Sebastian (played by Travis Indovina), accidentally summons a destructive god named The Destroyer (Dave White). The bickering between Teen Ape (played by Teen Ape himself) and The Choach (A.J. Stabone) and the pee contest between Morgana (Meredith Host) and The Meistro (Matt Meister) will just have to wait as Sebastian and company must flee the haunted house to escape the wrath of The Destroyer. Thinking they can hold out through the night at a local bowling alley, the gang of losers is forced into a final showdown with The Destroyer, who just happens to make mincemeat out of anyone who gets in his way.

Don’t let the plot description fool you;
Carnage For The Destroyer is actually a competently made indie horror comedy. Chris Seaver, the director/writer behind Mulva: Zombie Ass Kicker! and Filthy McNasty is responsible for this freaky flick. The digital camera work is well done, the scenes are lit properly, and thankfully, the sound is decent. Of course the combination of found sets and bad costumes reveal the penniless production but viewers familiar with the cheapie splatter genre won’t be bothered. The plot is paper thin but the quick pace and short running time make up for it. I was hoping for better gore effects but imagination (The Destroyer beheads someone with their own intestines) counts a great deal in my book.

Carnage For The Destroyer is as offensive as a film can get. The filthy dialogue has tons of racial slurs and all the characters are a stereotype of some kind. The political incorrectness is clearly meant to amuse and not to provoke as evidenced when two characters use a young child instead of a stick for poking at a corpse. Those who are easily offended should avoid this film altogether. Covering your eyes may keep you from seeing Morgana's angry and violent urinations but that won't help with her jaw-droppingly foul mouth.

A party movie if there ever was one,
Carnage For The Destroyer is a good sick time. There are enough decent kills, nutty characters, and freaky simulated sex scenes to entertain fans of Troma films and the like. Even though The Destroyer looks like a Leatherface audition reject gone berserk, it's hard not to love a character who screams "Boogety boogety boogety" before ripping his victims apart. The actors have a great chemistry and it’s obvious that the film was fun to make. The rivalry between Teen Ape and The Choach borders on brilliance. As for the Teen Ape sex scene… No comment.

DVD Specs:

The
Carnage For The Destroyer DVD looks and sounds great. The full frame presentation is crystal clear and I never had to strain to hear what the actors were saying. Bonus. There are tons of extras on this disc including director commentary, cast commentary, a behind the scenes feature, cast rehearsals, the very bizarre “Epic Metal” commercial, and trailers. I’m surprised there’s no drinking game feature on this DVD. That would be pretty hot.
