Whilst this is a nasty piece of film, I found it a bit of a chore to sit through.
Perhaps at the time, the subject matter and gore would have made it stand out, but 30+ years passing has given us films that are far more gory and better made. And without the shock value, there isn't much else to recommend this film.
Still, there is a perverse pleasure in watching films from a subgenre that lasted briefly and is unlikely to be resurrected in any serious sense.
