The Ending ?(spoilers)
Can anybody tell me how this movie ends. Please!
shareHe brutally kills and dismembers all the girls, and two other unlucky fellows.
A cop eventually stumbles on the scene and moves through the house finding the dead bodies. He wanders into the bathroom where Sam is in the tub talking to his wife's decapitated head. The tub is filled with human blood. Blood is all over the walls also. Body parts line the floor, and Barbara's fetus can be seen in the toilet. The cop tells him to raise his hands and Sam complies... sorta. He is using a couple severed arms that he took from the girls, but the cop doesn't realize it until it is too late.
He shoots and kills the cop.
The movie ends with Sam staring into the camera.
I just got done watching the movie from the "Decrepit Crypt of Nightmares" collection, and I have to say that it was, hands down, one of the most vile endings I've ever seen.
Please understand that I'm no "crusader" against horror films; in fact, I quite enjoy horror films. Even the really cheesy ones (like every film in this collection) are fun to make fun of. But THIS one... my God, that was nasty.
When I say "vile," I'm not referring to the gore. What I'm referring to is what this guy did in the movie. I mean, what he did to that pregnant woman - let's just say that when it comes to going too far in horror films, there's too far, then there's even further, and then there's THAT. ("Terror Firmer," anyone?) And not only that, but this monster doesn't even receive justice in some form or another. Hell, even the villains in "Last House on the Left" and "I Spit on Your Grave," two of the most disturbing films ever made, get what's coming to them. Of course, then again, we don't see what happens to this guy off camera.
What I can't understand is how they got an actual pregnant woman to be in this movie, as she obviously must have known what would happen to her character. That disturbs me. My only guess is that she needed the money. Thank God it's only a movie.
Of course, freedom, being the wonderful thing that it is, allows directors to go that far, and even though I (and I'm sure many others) think the end of this movie was absolutely horrid, I wouldn't take that freedom away from anyone.
Anyway, that's my two cents. I'm sorry if I sounded preachy at all.

I'm not convinced there is such a thing, but going "too far" would have probably have been anally raping the fetus corpse afterwards....surely.

Not talking about LVB specifically here, but this is an interesting belief many seem to share. Why must there always be a happy ending? Why must the "good guys" always win? Sure this genre is a form of escapism, but with "true-crime" type cinema (especially horror) does the happy ending really reflect the realities of life? The horror aspect comes from (suspension of disbelief aside) the possibility that such scenarios could potentially happen, and happen to you or someone close to you.
I've never been a big fan of films that give the hoi polloi audience ultimately what they want (all the answers\explanations, justice, warm and fuzzy feelings etc). I guess I just find Hollywood and the mainstream insulting in this way.

Ah, don't let this wimp fool ya. LVB is extremely offensive, sure, but it's also extremly cheap looking, cheesy, and impossible to take seriously. It's slightly better than Video Violence.
Sounds good! Video Violence is another title on "the list".
That said, you'd probably dig this one. I got it on a cheap six movie set that had some other awesomely crappy movies like Don Dohler's Blood Massacre and another one called Thirteen that I just recently found out was the same film as City in Panic (lookit up).
I'll check em out. Thanks dude.

Maybe she understood this was make-believe, as in a film, a movie, a motion picture, and something to do for fun. Oh, and perhaps she wasn't a sanctimonious imbecile like yourself.

I rented this on good ol' videotape (a decision I regret because this movie was terrible) and I remember that scene you described. The cop, IIRC, looked like he was moving in slow motion. It took him forever to go from room to room. A couple of buddies and myself were yelling at the TV screen saying "Hurry up already!"
Fun times.
