Hess is on fire, but the rest of the cast is completely lifeless and the direction is very boring in this home invasion flick. The highlight is Hess slowly dragging the flat back edge of a straight razor across the bare belly and breasts of a young woman while crooning her name to her; it's much creepier and scarier than when he actually carves her up. The plot twist in the last 5 minutes is completely retarded.

Sleazy, exploitative, and definitely weird (especially the sweet-sounding soundtrack playing when Hess was tormenting the young girl). Dishes out plenty of sex and nudity. Quite interesting as in there isn't any good guy in the movies.

This could be a cool horror flick, through the hands of a good director. Instead, it's just boring and pointless.

Perverse and crude; a cheap exploitation-film lacking power to shock, affect or captivate. Deodato display smart direction at times - paying attention to the vibrant silence in the air and the inquiring glances of the characters -, but the film is frustratingly pale as a whole.

this movie is just crazy. screwed up. insanity.

Mediocre Movie

Nihilist home invasion movie, italian style. A repulsive and vulgar portrayel of human relations in modern society. Good stuff.
