Ralphus is what makes this exploitation classic work. Even though he may not be the most imposing henchman or sidekick, he certainly delivers the goods for being the sickest, most evil midget(oh sorry, "little person") I've ever seen in a movie. Yup, even funnier than Mini-me from the Austin Powers franchise. I remember when I first saw Ralphus I burst out laughing at the deranged pleasure he took in his "work". He steals the show, in my opinion.
All of the little things that Louie De Jesus(Ralphus) does are so classic. From the way he slowly headbangs/nods while killing, to his infamous dances whenever he's excited, to his near-eternal sick grin. That boy ain't right & that's why I dig him!
Oh yeah, this IS a repulsive, misogynistic, sadistic low-budget entry into the horror/exploitation genre; an entry that many would find dated & poorly made...but that's part of it's "charm", in my opinion! Look, I know this isn't "art", but you get what you pay for with this title: lots of (bad,unrealistic) blood, definitely some sucking(so gross!) & plenty of freaks...like RALPHUS: King of Evil Midgets!
Really good commentary on the Troma DVD from Eli "Cabin Fever" Roth, too. If you liked the movie you'll probably like his track, I found it to be informative & very tongue-in-cheek at the same time.
