C.H. Newell Father Son Holy Gore 05/06/2019
3/5
Hits deep with hints of class disparity, cruel violence, and a disturbing look at how tragic events push people into becoming someone far from themselves. Go to Full Review

What we are left with is a bunch of clueless faces standing around, submitting to the cause of a mistaken screenplay, and a director who has studied nothing of mood or context. Go to Full Review
Jacob Knight Birth.Movies.Death. 06/06/2018
The active misogyny and disregard for humanity come off like a mutant fetishist's wet dream. Go to Full Review

Deodato's control over the movie is incredibly precise, the sign of a much better filmmaker than the material arguably deserves. Go to Full Review

Jules N 04/16/2024 Ils ont juste un peu trop abusés sur le sexe, cela rend le film plus vraiment intéressant et on a presque parfois l'impression d'être dans un porno See more Justin T 03/01/2024 I was expecting to be shocked and horrified like I was with The Last House on the Left (1972) but this film doesn't seem to have the same shock value. The violence seems empty and the sexual attacks more erotic for the girls than horrific. The human factor seems to have been left out. The story is a bit of nothing but at least they tried and not steal every beat from Last House. The little violence is quite well done and convincing but bad dubbing and rubbish sound effects spoil the effect. Not as shocking as its American predecessor and counterpart. See more 07/11/2022 My absolute favorite David Hess flick!! This film takes a man's sexual tendencies to the absolute limit that they can go, even more shocking than Wes Cravens "Last House". Watch only if you're a tough guy with a strong stomach though! See more 04/12/2020 Could not sit through this movie. It made me uncomfortable. See more 05/27/2018 An Italian ripoff of Last House on the Left, that goes so far as to even steal the lead actor from that film. It's clear they were trying to cash in on that films success, but somehow this movie ends up being kind of better. In a way, it's a study of class separation, and not a pretty one. It kind of gives you more to chew on. See more delysid d 02/03/2018 great movie reminds me of last house on the left See more Read all reviews
