C.H. Newell Father Son Holy Gore 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. Rated: 3/5 May 6, 2019 Full Review David Keyes Cinemaphile.org 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. Rated: 0.5/4 Aug 11, 2018 Full Review Jacob Knight Birth.Movies.Death. The active misogyny and disregard for humanity come off like a mutant fetishist's wet dream. Jun 6, 2018 Full Review Tim Brayton Antagony & Ecstasy Deodato's control over the movie is incredibly precise, the sign of a much better filmmaker than the material arguably deserves. Rated: 7/10 Aug 8, 2010 Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com Rated: 2/5 Oct 1, 2005 Full Review Scott Weinberg eFilmCritic.com Rated: 1/5 Jul 26, 2002 Full Review Read all reviews

Jules N 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 Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 04/16/24 Full Review Justin T 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. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 03/01/24 Full Review Audience Member 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! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Audience Member Could not sit through this movie. It made me uncomfortable. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 05/27/18 Full Review delysid d great movie reminds me of last house on the left Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/03/18 Full Review Read all reviews
