Trash Humpers is a movie which sort of plays out like an art house version of MTV's Jackass but whereas Jackass is funny because it's dumb and crass and you can laugh at it over some beers with friends, Trash Humpers is just depressing. It's a non movie. There's no characters, no story, no memorable lines, just people in creepy masks which make them look elderly being weird and breaking things, simulating sex with tree branches and trash cans and screaming for an hour and a half.
I think if this was made by anyone other than Harmony Korine it would have been ignored and forgotten.
Was he trying to make a bad movie on purpose as some kind of statement? it just wastes your time and it made me angry watching it.
Some people consider it to be deep and edgy with some kind of deeper meaning. It isn't, it's crap and it gets very annoying very quickly.
It's the cinematic equivalent of looking at a dead dog on the side of the road. Will you remember seeing this dead dog? Yeah of course but did enjoy it or gain anything from seeing the dead dog? No, you felt gross and then got on with your life.
One character does play a blastbeat on the drums in one random scene which was pretty sick but other than that there's no reason to watch this. It isn't even a funny bad movie you can make fun of, it's just oppressively bad.
