Leave your thoughts about Otto; or, Up with Dead People.
| JWRS. James WeggBruce La Bruce's latest offering is a deadly affair of heavily politicized metaphors that overflows with imagination, angst and a smattering of good old fashioned porn. |
| New York TimesNathan LeeOne of the more disciplined entries in the LaBruce oeuvre, Otto is sexy and silly in just the right proportions, a cult item with a real heart. |
| Los Angeles TimesKevin ThomasOtto deliriously intermingles sex and entrails but is also imaginative and witty |
| NewsBlazePrairie MillerVeers between raw zombie cuisine, raw gay porn, high calorie sex that includes entrails-devouring as foreplay, and cranky anti-establishment rants against advanced capitalism. Not to mention that it's hard out there for a zombie too. |
| Village VoiceAaron HillisCampy but not comical, reactionary but not very clever, LaBruce's film is best saved for those tickled by the sight of homo-zombie orgies or the hardcore penetration of an open wound. |
| Los Angeles Daily NewsBob StraussLaBruce's film is such a riot of conflicting information and signifying styles that inner logic never really gets a grip. |
| New York PostV.A. MusettoLaBruce devotees will be tickled pink; others will be perplexed and/or disgusted. |
| VarietyJustin ChangMeandering at the same draggy pace as its titular gay zombie, eroto-horror-satire mixes movie-within-a-movie machinations with graphic sex scenes that will titillate anyone who's ever wanted to see someone shagging an open wound. |
| East Bay ExpressKelly VanceZombies don't ever take bubble baths, not even gay zombies. |
| Filmcritic.comDon WillmottSadly, this is one of those moments where I have to scan my reviewer's list of dismissive nouns to come up with the perfect word to describe this mess. Ah, yes, here it is: claptrap. |
