delysid d not much to like about this retarded italian movie, its about a bunch of idiots who get mixed up in a haunted nazi house and take their tops off Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/09/18 Full Review Audience Member What was Fulci thinking? 'Let's mess with horror fans by getting them to watch this'? Don't let this movie fool you! It's terrible. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Lucio Fulci may have had a career with some low points but I don't think it's possible to get any lower than this insipid, goreless softcore skin flick about perverse Nazi ghosts terrorizing a group of brainless "teens". Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Audience Member So so bad Lucio Fulci's worst film half a star is generous Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member Interesting Nazi -Exploitation Late Giallo, with some of the Classic Fulci's Elements: Recurring Flashbacks from an Horrible Past,coming back slowly almost to Vindicate itself,against a Group of Teenagers who clearly Violated the Laws of the Undead. Considering the Low Budget of this Film,but also the all the Difficulties Fulci had to Impose his Ideas to the Producers, who did not want so much Gore, and Sexuality(which looks coming straight out of something like Tinto Brass "Salon Kitty",1976),This Film is still very Enjoyable,and an Unique Fulci on its own: A mix of Classic Horror that Penetrates inside the Folds of a terrible and sleazy Crime,Happened almost 50 years Before, Becoming a true Giallo, full of Mystery and Sexuality with also a very watchable recreation of the Period. A real treat(for those who love these type of Cult Films) is the Cast: here we have the often Present Al Cliver(as a cruel and sleazy Nazi Official),the curvy Zora Kerowa as a Gestapo's Informer and Prostitute and young star Domiziano Arcangeli,whose character represents along with sexy Deborah Cali',Rossana Gavinel and Robert Egon's Characters,as well,the Real Corrupted and Amoral,Wealthy and Depraved Nazi's Youth. While, as the teenagers who call the Past Back to Life,80's classic Hunks Sebastian Harrison, Claudio Aliotti,and pretty starlet Jessica Moore. Over all, very Enjoyable,if you are a Fan of the Euro Exploitation films of those Years! Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member When Lucio Fulci wanted to poke fun at himself for being a bit of a perv in his semi-autobiographical "Cat in the Brain," he edited in parts of the opening sequence of this movie. That opening sequence is a drunken, drug-filled orgy involving Nazis and prostitutes. Aside from that opening and a later one in which a character plays Russian roulette with the ghost of one of the Nazis, "Sodoma's Ghost" largely feels like Fulci was phoning it in. Six American college students are on their way to Paris and get lost. They arrive at an old farmhouse that, unbeknownst to them, was the scene of the aforementioned Nazi orgy almost 50 years before. The Nazis and their hookers got bombed and now haunt the place. The students soon find themselves trapped as the ghosts turn them against one another using sex and visions in mirrors. For Fulci, this is a pretty by-the-book haunted house movie otherwise. It gets an extra star from me because of the Russian roulette scene (which is genuinely intense) and prolific toplessness throughout. On the other hand, the violence and gore factors are among the lowest in any of Fulci's horror films, and Italian horror in general; arguably, none of the college students actually die, although one does decompose in dramatic fashion for awhile. The ghosts are pretty conventional; they look just like regular people, albeit in Nazi uniforms. The ending is fairly creative but not particularly exciting, and the denouement useless but quick. Not Fulci's best work; fans may be disappointed by this departure from form. Still, enough flashes of his particular genius come through to make it worth watching once. And there is that Russian roulette scene... Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Read all reviews
