This exceedingly unpleasant slasher thriller has a memorable, unnerving atmosphere and does deliver some shocks, but it's so gory and nasty that it leaves you in a foul mood. You don't get any pleasure from this film; you get only suffering, blood and hysteria. The scene where the killer smashes a victim's teeth with a brick or the bloody climactic murder just went too far for my taste. The film also has a nice creepy score, which in some parts is all-too-reminiscent of Bernard Herrmann's work for "Psycho", and director Sole also seems to have been influenced by that Hitchcock classic.
