Trashology
College student Tracy (Laura Lee Black) has just received an assignment to write a report on her favorite film genre. In her research she discovers a book, now Tracy is taken into three interlocking tales of the unexpected. First in THE VAT, two women (Jenny Coulter / Rodney Horn) are harassed by a religious fanatic (Angie Keeling) about their worldly ways. When the bible thumping hypocrite threatens violence, chaos takes it's toll. Next in BIG DEBBIE, a robust woman (Rodney Horn) is abandoned at the altar, she runs into two guys that use her to fulfill their odd sexual fetish. When one accidentally dies, they're forced to get rid of the body... the only problem: a woman on the edge (Rachel Stout) witnesses the ditching and blackmails them into killing her cheating girlfriend (Kelli Ellis). Finally in INGLOURIOUS BITCHES, a quirky pair of female vigilantes (Douglas Conner / Brian Dorton) use an app on a cellphone to track down and murder sex offenders.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Simply A Masterpiece
The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
Today's comedies usually have me sitting and staring at the screen with a straight face waiting for something funny to happen. With this film however, I laughed or smiled ear to ear the whole time. I bought the movie blindly based on some post I saw on a social network site, the person that posted it was raving and saying it's up there with Paul Bartel and John Waters stuff. This I had to judge for myself and I was not let down in the least bit, but highly entertained by an energetic script and cast that didn't miss a beat. The ball never dropped once. I'm sure you can read the synopsis elsewhere so I won't bother but bravo to the filmmakers and cast here! See this 100% unique movie!
5 Out of 5"Trashology...it's a raunchy funny good time loaded with perversity...a guilty pleasure for sure!" Char HardinThis is the funniest, raunchiest most perverse good time, I have seen in a very long time. When it says Trashology is a tribute film to the man who gave us Hairspray and Pink Flamingos...Mr. John Waters, it isn't making a false claim. IT is what it says it is and so much more. Another reviewer has said that "John Waters would be proud" and yet another said it is a "Love letter to John Waters", these are not false statements to build hype...TRASHOLOGY is the MOTHER OF ALL TRIBUTE FILMS to the ideals and wicked sense of humor of Waters. What is it? May Contains Spoilers...but not detailed spoilers.Tracy (Laura Lee Black) is taking a collegiate class on film making and has received an assignment to do a report on her favorite genre. Her friend wants to do Horror, but Tracy has stumbled upon a book called "Trashology" and she is thinking about "Trash Cinema". The book consists of three interlocking tales that make up the book. Each one is loaded with hysterics and starts off with "The Vat". "The Vat" is about old woman named Beatrice whose husband had dug a hole in the back yard for the leftover oatmeal his wife was known to make more than needed. Beatrice for years has thrown leftovers into the vat. One afternoon during a living visit with friends Laura and Claudia, something goes wrong and one of the women ends up dead and tossed into the vat.Rodney Horn as Big Debbie and Douglas Conner as George The second story is "Big Debbie" who is the daughter of Laura mentioned in the first story. Debbie has been left at the altar on her wedding day. She has a chance encounter that leads to accidentally "squashing" a man to death and black mail. The third story "Inglourious Bitches" about Katrina and Melissa two girlfriends fed up with the injustice of pedophiles being released back into society after a hand slapping from the courts. A unique phone app leads to the girls own brand of justice as the bodies start to pile up. I love where the girls end up by the close of their story.Tracy has her own demons and the creative way to man's heart is always through his stomach. Let me just say...you thought Minnie Jackson's chocolate pie in the southern drama, 'The Help' was something else...wait until you get a taste of Tracy's chocolate pie!As soon as Trashology is released on DVD, I cannot urge you enough to rush out and buy it. For an Independent made comedy film, it is the best of its kind I have ever come across. It has a little bit of everything to make you gag and gasp for breath whether the use of a scent, devise, smothering or just walking in on a one legged woman having sex with a sex offender. It is a total shock n' awe film, that may not be for anyone offended by men dressed as women with huge boobs, oh and if talking about lesbian sex over ice cream offends you, then forget watching the making of the secret ingredient to Claudia's casserole, you won't be able to handle it. However, if you think you can handle with this unique and shocking film...grab your copy as soon as you can. If you have to have one guilty pleasure in life, let it be Trashology...it is totally one of mine! For the full review go to www.charhardin.blogspot.com
This film is the reason why I think therapy is highly recommended. Trust me, after the 3 stories we get to see the closing moments with Tracy and her male friend, and they do something that is so vile and disgusting that I cannot even begin to describe how absolutely bizarre it came across as. John Waters himself would love this film, but I think he would hate himself afterwards for knowing he inspired this wave of film. This film without question is not for everyone and would more than likely offend anyone who watches it. But, the film was well written and very unpredictable. And, when you have Manoush singing your theme song, you almost know that this ride is going to be something that either you are going to praise and talk about a lot, or never tell a soul what you watched and when your whole house is empty rewatch it. This film is John Waters for 2012, and I absolutely had fun with it and think that people who are in the mood for a slice of the perverse would love this film as well. John Waters would really be proud.
I was extremely lucky to be chosen to review this movie. I even did a review on it. My expectations were to rate this movie 8/10. After laughing non-stop and thoroughly enjoying the story and how everything seamlessly tied together, it was VERY easy to rate it 10/10. I loved every minute of it!! The characters were AMAZING and the hilarity put me in tears! THIS MOVIE IS A MUST HAVE. I find myself comparing it to "Bridesmaids" a lot on terms of funniness. Though its definitely a little more raunchy and hardcore. I assure you, you will not be disappointed. FUNNY FUNNY FUNNY and overall just WEIRD!!! I loved it!! Well written and delivered!
