Trash Humpers (2009)

Harmony Korine challenges the audience with this plotless somewhat pointless montage of degraded VHS 'found footage' of a degenerate group of Nashville OAPs, who fill their day with drinking, mindless vandalism, trash humping, dancing and general weird peeping tomism! In places it acts like a new breed of horror, but has too many floors to make it genuinely creepy. The fact you can tell its young actors are wearing old people masks doesn't help. The feeling of old people being so debauturous is unsettling and gives the feeling of unforefilled lives and broken dreams, but overall this could have been a lot better and made more atmospheric if more time was spent on it. The last 20 mins or so is unsettling, but in general it drags. Good film but I get the feeling it thinks its weirder than it is. Could have been so much better but worth a watch. 
4/10
