"Ticked-off ->-bleeped-<-s With Knives

Bloodlust is the coin of the realm in "Ticked-off ->-bleeped-<-s with Knives". I'm not sure why, but I went to the theatre expecting to see a documentary.

Instead, like "Snakes on a Plane," the film delivers just what its title promises, and more. A self-announced work of grindhouse cinema, the plot concerns a wronged trio of ->-bleeped-<-s (they started out as a quintet — that's how wronged they are), who take matters into their own hands and wreak their revenge upon an equal number of macho punks who get their jollies beating up ->-bleeped-<-s with baseball bats. This they do with the titular knives, which range in nature from small switchblades inserted into the rectums of their adversaries after they've knocked them out cold...to a baroque monster blade that would more properly be described as a battle axe. Part campfest, part horror movie, the movie calls to mind such familiar exponents of dubious taste as John Waters, Paul Bartel and Quentin Tarantino.
