Reviews:
“Rhinotillex enthusiasts, I’m afraid, will whine endlessly about the overall level of on-screen nose-pickery; other than a few uncomfortable scratches during the first twenty minutes, there’s very little correlation between the movie and its slightly misleading moniker. That said, The Nostril Picker is ultimately a thoroughly engrossing little project despite being completely pointless. Unless you’re a hardcore fan of nonsensical no-budget nutiness, you’d do well to cross the street and run far, far away.” The Film Fiend
The Nostril Picker montage:
“This is a zero-budgeter like never before. It’s like a home movie gone wrong. The picture quality is horrendous. There’s scratches and grain on every shot and it looks like it was bleached of any colour. I honestly refuse to believe that this was made in 1993 – it looks absolutely terrible. Did someone leave the film print out in the sun all day or drop it down the toilet? It’s got to have been made back in the 70s and was just sat around in someone’s garage since then.” Popcorn Pictures
“But this isn’t even one of those “So bad they’re good” flicks – it’s just plain bad. Seriously, watching retarded shit like this can’t be good for you. Nevertheless, it’s hard not to recommend a film with a title like The Nostril Picker. A rate seems pointless, but I give it one point for originality and one point for the title, and there’s a part of me that (believe it or not) thinks you should see the film, allthough I didn’t like it – you know, just to see it. Especially if you have a soft spot for amateurish, low-budget B-movies. The crappier the better, right?” Rare Cult Cinema
