Everybody has their thing. Whether you're laid back or have a short fuse, everybody has their one thing that they simply will not stand for. And no matter how bad they want to avoid confrontation, some things will just always be a deal breaker. And once that line is crossed, it's just on! Today, we're going to talk about a relatively unknown Dramedy (?) from 1993, about a kid who once took an endless amount of shit, seemingly without even an attempt to stand up for himself. A kid whose spirit was broken long ago, but a kid who will soon be pushed too far. Beat him, ridicule him, but don't even think of fucking with Corey Gorey's Ozzy Osbourne tickets!

image Little Corey Gorey is about a kid who has no real family. His mom died, his dad remarried Divine, and then, he died. Divine and her bully of a son despise Corey for reasons unknown to us. We're left to assume they're just horrible people who enjoy having someone around to torment. Divine and son have literally made a slave out of Corey, making him do everything, while depriving him of anything resembling pleasure. Corey has to stay on his toes and make sure he doesn't rub one of them the wrong way, as they're just looking for a reason to inflict some punishment, almost always being physical abuse. The mother is a lardass drunk who eats and watches TV all day, and Biff is just your typical coke headed douchebag.

Recently, Corey and his step-family have moved to a new town. At his new school, Corey spots an older girl whom he automatically develops a crush on. Jackie is a rude little bitch who is blunt about wanting nothing to do with a Freshman pussy. But when Corey notices that she is an Ozzy fan, he makes it a point to pick up some tickets to the upcoming concert so that Jackie might go with him. Although, this is never at all encouraged. Voluntarily wrapping himself around her finger, Corey wastes no time in picking up the best available tickets, so that he can maybe have a chance at impressing the girl of his dreams. We can already tell this isn't going to end well.

image Although, things are not one bit better than usual, Corey is on cloud 9 over his alleged plans. He even drugs step mother after she passes out, so that she won't catch him. Because there's no way she would ever let him have a night out. It seems as though the stars are aligned on this night, but just as Corey looks under his mattress for the tickets, cold, harsh reality hits him right in the face. The tickets are missing. And as it would turn out, Stepbrother Biff stole them. And when he returns, he not only confirms this, but confirms the fact that he went with Jackie, and totally stuck it to her, afterwards. And at this moment, it all finally came a head. Corey snaps and attacks Biff. He didn't mean to kill him, but that's just the way things go, sometimes.

So, Biff is dead. And without hesitation, Corey cuts him up and sticks him in the freezer. A situation to be dealt with on a later date, I assume. Out of fear for his life, Corey makes the bold decision to tie up his stepmother, so that when she awakens from her coma, at least she can't kill him for killing her son. No end game. it's just that as long as she's tied up, he's not in danger. Corey more or less decides to keep her tied to the couch forever. Jackie drops by, looking for Biff and the pound of Cocaine he promised to do with her. But after being forced to let her in on what's happened, Corey is also convinced to help her search for the alleged Coke, in the hopes of them both having enough money to run off together. Again. This isn't going to end well.

One thing worth pointing out. Corey's fat drunk of a stepmom, whom I keep referring to as "Divine", was not the first choice for the role. According to the director, the one and only, Divine, had agreed to appear in this film to play that role, but unfortunately did not live to fulfill the obligation. Replacement-Divine, however, did a fine job in the role, and a damn fine job at being Divine-ish. A talent most women could probably do without.

image One noticeable thing about this movie that I find humorous is how replacement-Divine is tied to the couch for 80% of the duration, and merely complains about being hungry and needing a beer. For 3 or 4 days she lays there, I'm guessing. And not one word about having to use the bathroom. That's weird, right? This whole movie is weird. The dialogue is dubbed, for some reason, which always makes for a confusing good time. The film took well over a year to film, which is probably why Corey's appearance and hairstyle changes like it does. Little Corey Gorey was shot in the late 80's, but wasn't released until '93. I didn't know this when I first watched it, but it does explain a lot. This seems to be marketed as some sort of Slasher, and from what I've heard, the more obscure uncut version is a little more along those lines, and would most likely result in the title making a little more sense. However, the heavily censored DVD version I saw has a very different tone. So, to me, the whole thing comes off kind of mainstream. Almost like a TV movie, except really low budget. Although, either version of this unusual and out of place B-movie is absolutely deserving of cult status. Perhaps it'll get there if it ever ends up with a decent release. As Corey, the underdog, finally got his day in the sun, I like to think this underdog of a Dark Dramedy will eventually get the same. 5/10 https://www.littlecoreygorey.com/

Just watched the gory scenes. Not bad. Still not a Horror movie, I don't think.

I think it was the summer of '15, I found this and Strange Girls (2007) in the used display at Suncoast/ FYE. I wish I had bought them, especialy SG as the reviews I read aftrerwards were pretty high praise.

The next time I went to the mall both dvds were gone of course.

I finally saw this and thought it was pretty good. It definitely looks 80s, but his appearance definitely did feel different sometimes throughout the movie. Maybe the makeup for his scar got applied differently throughout the long time filming.

I was wondering the same thing about her bathroom needs being on that couch the whole time.

Jackie was a C-word. She totally deserved it.
