About
You may like this if you want a nasty, sleazy 1980s shock-thriller with home-invasion tension and a mean streak, and you’re okay with comparisons to Cannibal Holocaust; Not for you if sexual violence or grim exploitation themes are dealbreakers.
Pros: intense, uneasy tension; memorable villain energy; grim exploitation edge | Cons: slow, drawn-out middle; heavy sexual violence; uneven acting, plot holes
