About
If you enjoy grim, transgressive Euro-horror with relentless gore, sleaze, and a morbid obsession at its core, this may hit the spot; Not for you if graphic violence, necrophilia themes, or gross-out scenes are dealbreakers—try Cemetery Man only if you want similar darkness.
Pros: extreme gore set-pieces; dark, watchable madness; memorable Goblin music | Cons: thin story; cheesy acting, dubbing; sleaze and nudity
