I watched this movie today and I'm still reeling from it. I actually was so disturbed that I was shaking for about 20 minutes after I finished it.

Terrifying. Beautiful. Perverse. A true masterpiece in atmospheric, psychological and physical horror. It had many parts that made me jump and many more that shocked me!

I loved it. Loved it loved it. It's a shame this is such a little known film, and even more difficult to track down... I bought the Arrow Video Blu Ray release and it's gorgeous! Full of all sorts of great extra features (commentary, interviews from cast and crew, and a thick insert booklet with essays and reviews. Well worth the money I spent on it.

If you can find this movie, and you love outrageous and shocking cinema that has a real artistic sense, then WATCH IT. You won't be sorry.

"I was shaking for about 20 minutes after I finished it."

Yeah, me too. My head.

This is one of the worst movies I've ever sat through. I rarely give a movie a 1, but this one was awful from start to finish.

Interesting that some people enjoyed it and even call it a masterpiece.
