Long-time fans of Bill Zebub's movies know that he made the first "Dirtbags" in 2002.

   This new version is a total overhaul of the first script and was re-shot with a new cast, with the exception of some people.

   In an attempt to make something that is high-brow and low-brow at the same time, Bill Zebub created a story in which every character is severely flawed.  Are these traits handicaps or advantages?

   Just as in the first version, Peter Steele from Type O Negative plays himself. 

   Bill Zebub wanted to make a movie that would affect someone in these times the way that he was affected when he saw his first John Waters movie, "Desperate Living."  Back then it was very easy to get a reaction.  Almost everything was taboo.  These days it's harder to provoke thought.

   If you like the charm of .independent and low budget films, then this will be a welcome addition to your collection.  It's visceral and subtle, crude and sublime.  You see what you want to see.
