Rating: 3/20 (Fred: 3/20; Josh: 2/20; Libby: -2/20; Carrie: no rating; Jeremy: didn't make it through the thing)
Plot: Italian tourists find themselves in a seemingly abandoned town. Soon, a cannibal starts chasing them around.
First, I want to apologize for ruining the end of the movie with the poster choice up there. There was another, equally gruesome, poster I could have used, but when you've got a poster with a guy eating his own intestines, you kind of have to go with it, don't you? But that is how this movie ends. The cannibalistic killer falls off a roof into a well, grabs the gal who we think is the only survivor but who actually isn't and pulls her into the well, is disemboweled by a character we all forgot about, and then moans and starts munching on his own viscera. Yes, I spoiled the movie, but you wouldn't have made it that far anyway. If you waited around long enough, you'd get to see how jacked-up the bad guy in this is, and if you waited around a little while longer, you'd get to see him rip a fetus from a woman and eat it. That's something. I think that might even be the national pastime in Italy. But seriously, you wouldn't have made it that long because the movie's excruciatingly dull, nearly plotless, filled with terrible acting, and has even worse music. I don't think it helped that we had a false start when the movie was either not dubbed at all or dubbed in French. When we tried again, we had the same problem but decided to watch anyway because we were feeling adventurous but the English dubbing kicked in after about five minutes. We were also really upset when a shower scene we thought was going to happen never materialized. We felt cheated.
I would only recommend this bad movie to people who enjoyed the also-Italian Star Odyssey. We really need to be careful with Italian movies.
