    A real shocking doozy of a movie! sleazy and violent to the core, David Hess from "Last House on The Left" steals the show and the the two girls in this movie are quite sexy even naked.

    You know the rape scene in A Clockwork Orange that makes everyone feel uncomfortable? This movie is 80 minutes of that scene. And David Hess at the height of his sleaze. Hess, not as good as in Last House in terms of acting or physical prowess (ew), but still the central attraction of the flick.

    The twist is so funny that I'm tempted to spoil it just to open it up to derision.

    This film is primarily about dignity, I think.

    Ruggero (Cannibal Holocaust) Deodato's notoriously nasty film is a sort of cross between an Italian giallo film and Wes Craven's The Last House On The Left. Two sickos (played by David Hess & John Morghen) gate-crash a party at the posh titular residence and much rape, torture, sex and violence ensues. Now why don't I go to those sort of parties anymore?

    Pretty slow sleaze flick. They tried to bring in some money using David Hess as a villain and a "house" as the setting to bring in some money on the fame of "Last House on the Left" in which Hess did a masterful role. Here, he still do a pretty good act, but he never feels really threatening, just like the worlds biggest swine. And that may be the biggest problem, It's never scary, and its pretty slow. See Last House on the Left instead, or buy Last House on the Edge of the Park for it's nice box art.

    I don't know, this film has a charm to it, a very disturbing charm. The razor scenes were very difficult for me to see. I was cringing literally. The movie is fascinating, it has, I don't know, this brilliant plot-twist and revenge side-story but an interesting tale of loyalty and social issues too. The rich kids play around and the poor get offended to a point where they really get annoyed. You get David Hess protecting his dim-witted friend and doing what he can of him. Disturbing it is, it is also intriguing.

    All David Hess wants to do is go out and boogie. Why can't people just leave the man alone? But when some rich yuppies think it's funny to take him and his dim-witted friend to a party and humiliate them both, David turns on the charm and begins some good old fashioned rape on the women. The men get their asses kicked but David prefers the ladies.

    I'm sure Ruggero Deodato makes movies just to shock and disgust people. This one is no exception, though it's not nearly as offensive as "Cannibal Holocaust". If you like rape and murder, this film is for you.

    Ultra sleazy film has David Hess and John Morgen as partners in crime who crash a party to rape and demoralize their victims.

    Rough as hell, this once banned film is still cut in the UK by nearly 12 minutes (thanks to the Shriek Show for their bargain basement 'Psycho Killers' boxset).

    Give it to me once more, love me more and more...
    I have not had the pleasure of seeing this flick, but Devin just might be able to twist my are into it (but he has to see the Notebook first!!)

    One of my favorite Italian exploitation flicks and one of my personal fav Deodato's as well. David Hess at his maniacal best - even more unhinged than in LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT. Dig that funky dance from CANNIBAL FEROX alumnus Giovanni Radice!:) Do it to me once more, baby! This film is from 1979, not '85 as listed here. Yuppies may want to shy away from this bad boy;)
