THE PEOPLE WHO OWN THE DARK is about a group of Marquis de Sade devotees who gather for an orgy, complete with rubber-masked men and the requisite naked women, only to have it rudely interrupted by a nuclear holocaust.
Upon investigation, the men discover that the local villagers have all been struck blind by the blast. The inexplicable mistreatment / murder of these people by the men leads to a confrontation and ultimate, deadly showdown.
This is a bizarre and novel take on the post-apocalyptic movie. The savagery of the survivors was inherent in them prior to the catastrophe, and comes out immediately. While some are dying from radiation poisoning, one man strips down and crawls around on all fours like an animal. It's all pretty wild!
While these characters are fairly repellent, they are just being themselves. They are hedonistic sadists after all! Paul Naschy plays one of his best roles ever as Borne. The opening scene of him shooting pigeons with an elephant gun is priceless!
For lovers of the different and the strange...
