An absolute fucking nightmare. A gross, sleazy, filthy take on the home invasion exploitation subgenre. Despite being messy and pure Italian, tone-shifting filmmaking, this was an effectively gritty horror thriller. I'm in no way surprised this was on the Video Nasties list because it's uncomfortable with its violence and lewdness. David Hess is a great smug asshole who you want to punch in his fucking face so bad. Tense and strange film I liked more than I expected.

I didn't expect this to be like a Haunted House movie for some reason, but had a fun time still. I wish the pace was tighter---I think 15 to 20 minutes would save the middle chunk of this movie a lot. But there's some wild practical effects still and a real great atmosphere! It also has some Saw-like traps and tension there. I am excited for the sequel because I've heard it's more psychosexual. Thanks Japan!

Get this: Isabella Rosellini conceived, wrote, directed, and starred in this absurdist comedy edutainment series about animals having sex... AND IT'S ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!

Not only is it high-camp, hilarious fun but it's legitimately informative. You don't realize you're *actually* learning about how spiders cum into their hands to mate with each other because you're laughing at Rosellini in a puppeteered arachnid costume, moaning and mugging at the camera. All the elaborate sets and costumes really made this a lot of fun. Pure vision and weird creativity. It borders on surreal performance art and I loved every damn minute of it.
