Description: This movie starts with a couple, who at this point we know nothing about other than they are lovers, getting brutally ‘murdered’ by someone or something in a wide brimmed hat to conceal his/hers/its face. After they are both dispatched we cut to a ‘castle’ in europe somewhere and a caption on the bottom of the screen informing us that it is ‘a year earlier’. Straight away the owner of this ‘castle’ Arnold is also brutally killed. Three gory deaths within the first ten minutes, a good start. Anyway, Arnolds relatives are informed and called together at this ‘castle’ for the reading of his will. As you can probably guess they start to mysteriously disappear. I think that this is basically a pretty decent low budget horror. Its twisted, someone throws his own freshly severed arm out of a nearby window to try and raise some help. Its perverted, we get the maid dressed up as a dominatrix and a chained up slave groveling at her feet. And its sick, a very joyful killer cuts a woman in half with a chainsaw in close up, and an unlucky guy gets his throat ripped out with a meat hook.

Review: First, the budget this movie was (oh my!) 2 200 000, which gave Shnaasu Italian producers, and in return, apparently asked to reduce the amount of blood and write a literate script (before this important item in Shnaasa, alas, it was not ). With the latter he helped his wife, Sonia, who, despite his agreeable to a Russian name, was not born in Russia, and in Denmark. Secondly, in this movie the first time Shnaasu had to work with real actors and digital (not cheap!) Camera. That’s why the quality of this film is not in the above example Shnaasa previous films (although they were good at horror film festivals). The plot is ingeniously twisted and starts the film is not the beginning and the end
