a ripoff of halloween 1 and 2


this film has similarities to halloween 1 and 2 and I think it is a rippoff. the scene where anthropohagus is attacking the girl and the priest saves her, is similiar to the scene in halloween where michael myers is strangling laurie and doctor loomis comes to save her. the part of the film where the girl with the broken legs escapes her straps and has to lob around the house is similiar to the plot of halloween 2.

Who cares. It's just sleazy gory fun.

Lots of films "rip off" (or in this instance the preferable wording would be "are inspired by") the original "Halloween" film. So what? Your argument about "Halloween II", however, holds no merit at all as this film was released the exact same month as "Halloween II" (and on a separate continent no less!).

Seeing as this film was released the same month of the same year as Halloween 2 how could this rip it off?

You are on the IMDb look up release date before making stupid comments.

Let's do it to them before they do it to us.

Nothing about this movie is remotely similar.

Really? I found a lot of similarities. I don't hold it against this movie though, since most slashers were patterned after Halloween, this one was just a bit more obvious.

I think you mean they are all modeled after Black Christmas

While it's true that Halloween II and this film came out at about the same time, Absurd was definitely patterned after american slasher films and specifically the original Halloween. It was a conscious decision on the part of D'Amato and Eastman. So it's no surprise there are similarities.
