Not great but there is something about it I like.


Not a classic by any means but I've finally gotten around to checking it out. I've heard it was a Video Nasty but for the life of me cannot figure out why, pretty tame stuff even by the 70's standards and compared to all the other video nasties like Anthropophagus, Cannibal Holocaust, Jungle Holocaust, Cannibal Ferox, Faces Of Death etc. This did have an eerie charm about it and the fact it was all shot by one camera and on a shoestring budget makes it interesting. I liked the ending, wasn't exactly what I expected to go down. Its not a great flick by any means but there is something I enjoyed about it. Low budget B-horror movie buffs like myself will dig it, at least a bit anyways.

Yeah,
It's pretty much a "by the numbers" hack & slash movie, but the way it's shot (and Leslie Lee's disconnected performance) make it more interesting then your average "crazy with an axe" movie.

I am suprised that it was banned for so long, considering this stuff IS pretty tame compaired to other movies. But it DID help to make it a legend, so who's complaining? LOL.

It's not great but, what I like is that it had a lot of potential.

The unsparingly grim tone, spare style, and Lisa's tragic plight give this one a certain oddly unnerving quality.
