Butt Boy (2019)

This movie is called Butt Boy, and if that makes you think of a kind of hilarious superhero or supervillain, then you've got the title right. The premise of this film is that there is a serial killer who... puts things up his asshole, including small children and dogs, who are never seen again. His incredible asshole just somehow is able to fit them in there without the Butt Boy himself getting any larger. You just have to go with it, I guess. 

This is stylishly made and occasionally funny. It's the kind of jokey, gross-out, horror movie that plays really well at a certain kind of film festival. But I guess I find the entire premise kind of homophobic. Butt Boy is about the terror of the asshole, being afraid of what is beyond the sphincter, a disgust at the interior of the body, specifically the colon, and a fear of becoming addicted to shoving things up one's ass. The entire thing, in fact, is framed in the terms of addiction. Anyway, this wasn't for me. 

Also, I wanted more affect from the star (who is also the director), Tyler Cornack. He behaves like he's in a stupor for the entirety of the film.

I watched Butt Boy on Prime, and you can too if this sounds like something you might enjoy.
