Time to party hardy. Hardly! It's more like time to bail when two psychotics gate-crash a perfectly delightful get-together and turn it into a gore-fest with a huge body count. Directed by Ruggero Deo...( read more  read more... )dato, House on the Edge of the Park makes no pretense -- it's an exploitation flick complete with ritualistic torture.

    Boring, over-bearing exploitation sleeze with a decent little twist at the end. I expected more from Deodato and I'm kinda surprised at the amount of Flixster friends that actually liked this drivel.

    One of the better video nasties, the UK version of which has a whopping 11m43s cut out of it! David Hess and his simple-minded friend terrorize a house full of rich kids. The most interesting thing about the film is the way it manipulates the audience's sympathies. Because the vi...( read more)ctims are just as loathsome as their attackers, when Hess gets his razor out and starts doing his nutter act we don't necessarily side against him, at least not immediately. The acting is surprisingly good, the performances surviving the post-production dubbing process, very common in Italian cinema, remarkably well. There's even a nifty little twist at the end, though it does take some swallowing. Difficult to watch in places, it's no masterpiece but it's worth seeing, if you can find the full version.

    Well made and acted flix directed by Ruggero Deodato (Cannibal Holocaust). Interesting and disturbing with some relatively intense sexual violence and capricious amounts of nudity. Fans of violent exploitation should not miss this film.

    When I first saw this film I didn't like it. And really if you aren't met with distaste while viewing this sucker, there's something wrong with you. I kept thinking in my head "this sure ain't so Last House on the Left". But upon watching it a second time, I realised that it's no...( read more)t trying to be Last House on the Left, but one that stands out in the home invasion genre as one with no protagonists. This film is essentially a study on a group of antagonists as victimizing shifts around. Some thing you just might expect from the director of Cannibal Holocaust.

    Really good twist at the end but you have to sit through some pretty brutal rape and torture to get to it.
  • September 20, 2009
    Pretty shocking exploitation film, but a lot more is suggested than actually shown. Overall, it's alright. Not my thing.

    cindy oh cindy, yer gonna die.

    A real sleazy ordeal of a movie! guaranteed to make you wanna take a shower for a day, so much better then the original Last House on The Left. It suceeds more even with better acitng as it stars David Hess and John Morghen as it's a parade of rape, bloody violence and of course ...( read more)a good story.

    Not for the weak hearted but still worth watching.

    Ruggero Deodato gives us a roughie w/ David Hess @ the helm (unfortunately we had to see him naked in this one) but other wise he's razor sharp and ready to boogie especially on poor little Cindy..just more proof that Hess is one of cinema's most enduring sleazeballs
  • July 24, 2009
    Sadism, rape, and disco dancing, always a winning combination. Stars David Hess as Alex the violent rapist (kind of a continuation of his Last House on the Left character) and Giovanni Lombardo Radice/John Morghen as his halfwit, disco dancing buddy Ricky. Tasteless, disturbing a...( read more)nd funny if you're sick like me. Directed by Ruggiero "Cannibal Holocaust" Deodato.
