I 💚 any movie that opens up with an exploding head!!!!! Neon-noir body horror with a villain straight out of Warhammer.
Justine is my favorite goo-licking bangin’ bubble babe. Forget about “would you still love me if I was a worm?”….in this it’s, “would you still fuck me if I was encased in a goo bubble covered in bursting boils?!”
will not forget that creature sex scene anytime soon :D LOVE IT!
Idk, i’d wanna be friends with the ozone cenobites so I can rock a saw blade mohawk 🫧
whats the deal with all the 2/3 star reviews for this?? "sure its got insane body horror & gooey rubber monsters but the plot is just a mishmash of street trash, body snatchers & hellraiser" YEAH EXACTLY DOG. guess it got stuck in the middle ground too slick (??) for sov fetish garbage creepers and too cheap/dirty/gross for normal people but shit was "just right" for my goldilocks a$zz. love the hardnosed cop who says tough guy shit like "this bites" and "you suck" when one of the toxic drug zomboids leaves a bitchy voicemail on his answering machine, super fun without being jokey or stupid. i'll watch any movie about a made-up drug that turns people into fucked up latex pus…
OZONE is a low-budget triumph on every technical level. But, there is one element that propels this film from great to greatest: the kingpin. He looks exactly like Jabba the Hutt strung out on every single drug available at CVS, including the birth control pills and the morning-after pills. He’s got an oversized head with deep-set eyes, thick jowls, a large quivering belly, wideset man-boobs, thick arms covered in misshapen bumps and scales, and three-pronged claws. It is a grotesque beast to behold, one where you gasp in sheer amazement. Bookwalter’s genius shines even brighter here than in THE SANDMAN. OZONE gushes. It oozes. It explodes. It squirts. It jiggles. It literally bursts into flames. Bookwalter throws in every single…
High adrenaline low budget gorefest that slaps your face with goopy FX, imaginative creatures and pure lofi schlocky goodness. A grimy and mean spirited little nightmare that takes a no nonsense approach to diving straight into depravity.
There's a dangerous new drug on the market called Ozone. This thing is nuts! It will make your body disintegrate into a pulsing gooey mess. And if you're lucky it will turn you into a vicious zombie! This is made evident in the opening scene where we see a glorious display of practical FX when a dude overdoses on the Ozone. His veins throbbibng and eventually bursting before a brilliant head explosion. THATS HOW YOU START A MOVIE YES IT IS.
Its up…
always a shock to me when i watch something like this and its fully cogent + genuinely ambitious.. like i like my trash with a wink as much as the next gal (and a wink can easily turn into a sneer which i do NOT enjoy!!) but this takes itself fully seriously which is wonderful imo. oozing pus n slime simply MUST be treated with the respect it deserves! def on a ooze vibe this halloween week... i just bought $100 worth of alternative cinema magazine from their "archives" lmao they sell the vintage copies for a normal price on the website n the first issue has a big feature on this so im gonna go read all about ozone..!!
After getting dosed with a new drug hitting the streets by a dying perp, a detective's search for answers uncovers an underworld of rotting mutant punks and a battle with whatever he's slowly becoming.
Another plucky J.R. Bookwalter no-budget wonder that sits nicely next to The Dead Next Door (1989) as his most notable work. Shot on S-VHS with a working budget of about $3,500 ($1,000 going just into the score), it's much less ambitious than his 8mm undead epic and actually the better for it. A concise focus that keeps things from meandering despite losing a good bit of steam later on as the detective finds the festering kingpin behind the plague.
Not quite as good on this rewatch,…
Another SOV banger from JR Bookwalter, this time he squeezes a pre-apocalyptic neon-noir goop-fest out of a grisly tube and then spreads it over 80 minutes like a paranoid dream.
OZONE - the new hot drug on the streets. Everyone's doing it, just look for the guy in a trenchcoat and fedora and he'll start you off on your first dose. Turns out this exciting new high is a transformative poison, one that will render you a pus-laden mutant.
Detective Eddie Boone is thrown into this fleshy underworld after being injected with a vial of the stuff against his will. Eddie's trying to find his partner and trying to make sense out of why/who/where/when-will-he-melt-into-the-floor. A mop, a bucket, and a…
Ozone is by far the best J.R. Bookwalter film I've seen. A mad, ambitious, sloppy bucket of goo, he truly throws everything on the screen here. Heads are gorily popped under car tires, Troma-style. A giant slimy fat mutant hangs out on a throne and second-rate Cenobites goof around in alleyways. Faces bubble into goopy skulls willy-nilly. There's gross baffling sex and the slimy birthing of a demon mutant. It is relentless in its effects, even the non-practical video effects are endearing. Despite its low-budget and video aesthetic, it is shot, lit and cut with care and features a decent lead performance from James Black. This is truly a film made from passion and youthful energy.
have you been transformed?
ozone makes you feel like you're lost in your own nightmares. neverending hallways of neon colors mixed with gallons of blood and goopy pounds of flesh bubbles popping everywhere.
this wasn't even on my radar wtf this was so good and the effects are fucking incredible. one of my favorite scenes includes wound licking foreplay followed by bubble creature sex! this shit is nutss I'm in love! also side note the andy griffith theme being mixed into the soundtrack <3 i am going to rewatch the substance today, this is a perfect pairing!
is that any way to talk about your new family, Eddie?
"Where are you off to in a such a hurry, little man?"
Low budget, high concept. I read that this had a budget of $3,500.00 and you can see every penny in the finished product. Ozone is in no way, shape, or form "So Bad It's Good." This film is completely devoid of ego or shenanigans, and is instead completely, genuinely earnest in its presentation. This is a GOOD movie!
Ozone follows detective Eddie Boone (played by James R. Black of Cleveland Browns Running Back fame!), a cop investigating a new designer drug called "ozone." When a sting goes wrong, Eddie is injected with ozone, and his partner goes missing. Eddie is suspended from the force, and decides to take…
A slimy and grimy movie about drugs, the underworld, and monster kingpins! Don't let this low-budget horror masterpiece pass you by! Ozone hits so many notes on my checklist. On top of that, it is coherent!!! There is an actual story here and not just a few cool setpieces.
Low budget SOV 90s horror flick about a new designer drug that's turning folks into gooey monsters, zombie henchman, and other assorted ghoulies. A no nonsense cop looking for his missing partner is forced to engage in seedy underground shenanigans to get to the bottom of this monstrous mess.
The standout of Ozone is the gnarly practical effects which must have been where most of the budget went. Goopy, gory, gross, and grim with pulsating veins, a gnarly head explosion, and melting corpses. It's nutty as hell. It's 90s as hell. Trashy SOV fun for those that enjoy that type of thing.
