Gutterballs is a 2008 Canadian horror film written and directed by Ryan Nicholson and starring Dan Ellis, Nathan Witte, Mihola Terzic, and Alastair Gamble.
Tensions between two rival cliques boil over during an after-hours bowling session and a fight breaks out. When a girl from one of the team forgets her purse in the arcade, she returns only to be brutally raped by members of the other team. The following night, both groups return to the bowling alley. Except this time, they’re being stalked by a deranged serial killer adorned with a bowling bag as a mask and by sunrise, the alleys will run red with blood…
The film has a total of 625 uses of the word “fuck”, ranking it second (behind the documentary of the same name, about the history and usage of the word) and first in total usage for a scripted motion picture.
There is a “hardgore” version of the film with 20 minutes of extra footage. The Pin-Etration Edition, a version of the film containing hardcore inserts and limited to 69 copies, was also made available for purchase on the Plotdigger Films website in 2011.
A sequel, entitled Balls Deep, is in development.

“A deliberate attempt to make the most extreme, repugnant slasher film imaginable, Gutterballs is a neon-drenched genre offering with all of its exploitative elements exaggerated so far that good taste is left in the dust within the first 90 seconds.” Nathaniel Thompson, Mondo Digital
“If you’re in the mood for a flick with plenty of T&A, a good amount of blood and characters who exist for no other purpose than to die horribly, Gutterballs is right up your alley (pun intended), as long as you can get past the protracted rape scene, of course (that’s why the fast forward was invented). If you’re looking for something fresh and interesting from the indie horror scene, I recommend you look elsewhere.” Dread Central
