Uwe Boll to Horror Fans: “F*ck Yourself” and Your “Mothers”

Published

German filmmaker Uwe Boll is the gift that keeps on giving.

Boll, known as the “modern Ed Wood”, has made a name for himself by directing really, really, really bad movies. But, the kicker was they were made with huge budgets and big-name actors.

After his alleged financing “loophole” was closed, he reverted back to the indie scene, and actually delivered one hidden gem – Rampage, his 2009 political thriller that starred Brendan Fletcher as a man with a thirst for revenge builds a full body armor from Kevlar and goes on a killing spree. It was awesome. As for the 2014 sequel, it didn’t really turn any heads, and quietly went to home video.

Still, Boll was pushing forward with a third Rampage, only this time utilizing crowd sourcing to get it financed. His first attempt was embarrassing, collecting $6,375 of his request $100,000.

We thought his latest attempt was more reasonable. Still, with only 4 days to go, fans are voting “no,” pledging $25k of the requested $55k.

PR stunt or not, Boll took to YouTube to take out his rage on the crowd-sourcing platforms and “fans” of his work.

Entitled “fuck you all,” Boll goes on a near two-minute rant in which he says “fuck yourself” to both those who failed to support him and the campaign sites, while also proclaiming that he’s rich, doesn’t need us, and that he’s done with Hollywood (good riddance).

Here’s a gem he dropped in his description of the below video:

never will do crowdfunding again …. thanks to the few they supported rampage 3 -.-.—the rest can fuck their mothers incl. KICKSTARTER and all the idiots who talked me into bullshit like this

Who knows, maybe this shit works and he gets Rampage 3 fully funded?

Boll has always been really good at PR stunts, but I don’t think he realizes that most of us our bored with him, and that the younger generation of horror fans have no idea who he is.

If this is a stunt, well, it’s a great attempt to get us all worked up. If it’s not, Boll is actually done with Hollywood and will be golfing his life away leaving behind a legacy of shit that is already forgotten.

With 4 days left, maybe there’s one more in his tank…
