Description: In northern Italy, in a provincial town, lives a young entrepreneur and his rich wife. He runs a gym and is developing new anabolic drugs that should not have contraindications, meanwhile the city was rocked by a series of horrendous crimes of a sexual nature. A young police officer investigating into classes in a cross-section of the Italian province where does happen all … A movie that “looks happy”, memorable, especially the scene ultrasplatter in the shower with a pair of gym. Good special effects and sound are directed to raise the film that ends only for two reasons: the artistic cast at times really hard to believe (among other Samantha Jameson and Mike Hudson) and a careless screenplay. All in all discreet lovers splatter like for sure. Excellent audio performance and video.
Review: It plays like a good ol’ giallo, it’s cheesy, it’s sleazy, it’s sometimes gory. Mix Polselli (Oscenita), D’Amato (Hard Sensation) and Fulci (Massacre) and you get Anabolyzer. After all Roger Fratter directed a documentary on Joe D’Amato. It’s not a surprise that this movie has got CULT status here in Italy. It’s a cult and quite hard to find too, these days. But back when it was released I remember the italian horror scene like it was hit by a storm. Credits to the ripper and the 6 months or so it took me to get this bitch off the mule.
The plot? The owner of a gym testes anabolyzers on a couple of subject. The only downside of the medicine is that they become psychopatic killers. Yes, you heard it: a gym. As 80s as it gets. I took the time to make subs for the movie, so all non italian speakers could enjoy this wonderful piece of cinematic experience. If you love cheesy and sleazy with a sprinkling of gore you’re in for a treat. And now the checklist:
