WARNING: THIS MOVIE IS BANNED AND HEAVILY CENSORED over the world, this movie was for years reviled as possibly the most horrifying ever. Easily the most controversial film ever made – a brutal slice of exploitation that no one today would dare make. VIEWER DISCRETION IS STRONGLY ADVISED.
Ruggero Deodato’s infamous ‘video nasty’ stands apart from almost every other banned title by virtue of the fact that it looks stunning, is well-directed, unflinchingly acted and stops at nothing to get its message across. Not since the notoriously disturbing documentary THE ANIMALS FILM (1981) or Mick Jackson’s harrowing THREADS (1984) has a movie so comprehensively knocked the stuffing out of me with its grim-faced persistence, huge swathes of seething anger and sheer kinetic energy.
