Insights
Review Summary
Pros: extreme gore set-pieces; dark, watchable momentum; memorable caretaker dynamic | Cons: thin story; uneven acting and dubbing; sleaze and shock overload
Will You Like This?
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a grim, over-the-top Euro horror ride with relentless gross-out moments and a twisted, obsessive vibe; Not for you if you avoid graphic violence, sexual sleaze, or queasy body-horror like Burial Ground.

Entertaining:. High on the freak meter. Story: definitely unique. Dialogue: original Italian, overdubbed to English. You know how it goes, not the worst I've heard, but still marginal. Acting: despite the overdub, adequate. Aesthetic: attractive Italian Villa, visually attractive actors, sterile medical female nudity, profuse Gore, blood and flesh. Technical: poor editing transitions. Soundtrack by goblin. Grating at times. Morricone would have been better.
Pretty awesome little eurotrash answer to Psycho. There''s some really impressive gore and a quite catchy (if a bit repetitive) score from Goblin.
