The Nostril Picker
Product Description
Joe is an ugly loser, incapable of picking up women. But when he's taught a magical power, cap- able of transforming him into anyone he pleases and then back to his normal self, he decides to use it to live out his perverse fantasies. Initially content just watching them shower, Joe soon tires of mindless nudity and gears up to take his ultimate revenge against womankind: luring them to his shabby apartment, violently killing, and even eating them! This Michigan-lensed thriller, originally released as The Changer, combines gory violence, moments of sly humor, and a shocking twist ending. Massacre Video is proud to pre- sent The Nostril Picker on DVD in the US for the very first time, and under it's original title.

The Changer stands out in the crowd. Very unique.
Joe Bukowski (Carl Zschering) is a lunatic loner who leers at young women. After being released from a mental institution due to lack of space, he wastes his time with an inflatable toy in the most depressing apartment ever seen on film. Ultimately he meets a crazy Vietnam veteran (no stereotyping there...) who teaches him a spell to transmogrify into any person he desires, even a girl. So to get a clearer leer at the local high school girls he changes into Jo Bukowski (Ann Flood), a pretty blonde. Jo goes to school, hangs out in the girl's locker room, watches the girls play tennis, etc. It's all very seedy, vulgar, and unappealing, though nothing is as revolting as the oft-repeated shots of Joe picking his nose. This is the most gratuitous manual digital nostril exploration I have ever seen, but you can't say the filmmakers let the audience down with the quantity and intensity of nostril picking promised by the title. Perhaps two stars is too generous after all; on the other hand one star per nostril seems fair.
That Joe begins a homicidal killing spree involving coeds and cutlery is a given. Have no fear those of you who are fainthearted: the blood and violence is extremely ineffectual and could not be hokier. The nasal expulsions are far more terrifying. Every single shot in this film is ugly: ugly locations, an ugly school, and an ugly star. The film stars the oldest high school students seen in years and features the most disturbing assault on a prostitute I can recall (it was an attack "with a plastic thing"...you'll have to watch it to find out the sordid rest of the story.) Don't miss the hilarious police report and yodeling hobby subplots. After an homage to "Psycho" of sorts, the film does close with a good (if predictable) twist ending.
The DVD includes some extras like a boring stills gallery, an alternate title card, and some trailers, but the one worth watching is the interview with the producer who, unsurprisingly perhaps, reveals that "we'd never made a movie" before. "The Nostril Picker" is 75 minutes of pure ick, but it seems a lot longer largely due to pacing issues and extremely poor acting and production values. Fans of bad slasher movies or mucus will probably eat this up, but I found it distasteful though occasionally creative beyond expectations or expectorations.
I remember watching this on cable when I was a kid. It was great then and still great now!!!
