This film is seriously disturbed. It is also seriously sleazy. In fact, Viggo Mortensen saw this at a festival, while he was shooting Lord of the Rings. He said it was the most disgusting film that he has ever seen. High praise indeed! I have never been able to get this sleazefest out of my mind.
I am surprised that there have not been more people commenting on this film. I give a big 'respect' to Ant Timpson for bringing films like these to our shores. They always outrage the moral minority. In fact, when the sinful dwarf...ahem...harresses one of the female slaves. This scene was actually cut by the censorship board. So Timpson, using his twisted imagination used a blow up doll as the female victim. Timpson or someone else assumed the part of the sinful dwarf. The banned scene was then reenacted. It was hilarious! Adding even more to the carnival atmosphere that is the incredibly strange/incredible film festival.
The story is just so sleazy. A dwarf and his drunken cabaret mother, who cannot sing, store women who stay at their hotel in the attic. They operate a white slave trade. keeping them addicted to heroin to stop them running away. Meanwhile a young couple stays at the hotel. Listen, if I saw a creepy little man and his mother, who puts on enough make-up to embarrass drag queens, I would instantly run. You would certainly not stay there.
Anyway the couple stay there and after a gratuitous sex scene she disappears. The husband hunts for her only to find...
Needless to say this all ends in a bloodbath. If you are really masochistic you should watch this with the infamous Bloodsucking Freaks. It is like they were both made by the same person. Both are dirty and grimy. Filmed on budgets of about 2 dollars. Both have bad acting. One image form this film that stays with me is that of the dwarf, who seems like has has to make a real effort not to drool, in a toy store holding a toy truck. Even this somehow still manages to look sleazy. It is like you would have to wipe anything that he touches. In fact, I felt like I needed a shower after seeing this.
If you like watching horrible obscurities then I recommend this film. If you like pure sleaze, see this. I'll give it a six out of 10.
