Trivia

This movie was partly inspired by true events known as the "Circeo Massacre" (in Italian: "Massacro del Circeo"), which occurred primarily in the commune of San Felice Circeo, Italy at the end of September of 1975. Three young men raped and tortured a 19-year-old woman and a 17-year-old girl for two days, then murdered the woman; the girl avoided being murdered by pretending to be dead.

User Reviews

One of the worst horror movies to make it out of 2011...

This movie was banned in Italy? It is hard to see why, and I mean that literally because 99% of the movie is so dark that you can hardly see what is actually happening on the screen.

The story does have some potential, but it wasn't properly utilized, and everything was just killed, pardon the pun, by the perpetual darkness that permeated the entire movie.

Two tourists catch a ride with three young men and plan to go to a rave in the middle of the dark forest. But the tourists find no rave, only a night of sheer torment and horror.

It just doesn't make any logical sense that gladiators suddenly come back to life and kill people. Especially when they showed no sign of having been dead for ages.

The only reason for this abysmal movie getting a two out of ten stars rating, and not a one star, is because of the blood and mayhem. But don't get suckered in as I did. This movie is horrible from start to end. I suffered through this so you don't have to.
