This is one damn psychadelic, DISTURBING, SHOCKING, hallucinatory film. It looks JUST LIKE a real snuff film, at times. The effects are GRAPHIC. But what really makes this film shine is the soundtrack. This has been a big inspiration to me and my movies -- you know how my soundtracks are relentless and there's LOTS going in, and every scene has layers and layers of fucked-up sounds? I got that from this film, except this film is ALL "horror movie sounds", there are weird digitized screams in the soundtrack that have nothing to do with what you see on screen. There is all sorts of weird phasing and pitchshifting and overbearing organs and overblown Sunn guitar drone. Just insane. Probably the most disturbing soundtrack ever, I dunno if it's ever been released separately.
This film made me sick to watch -- I dunno if it was more disturbing than the finale of Kichiku Dai Enkai, but AS A WHOLE, it's definitely the most unsettling and depressing film ever.
Made by a guy who only made one film ever, a heroin addict who made the film for drug money, and is the star of the film, and is clearly fucked up out of his mind the whole time. I think he died of a drug overdose many years later, big shock.
Highly reccommended if you like "REAL" horror. Not in my opinion. This is fact: real fucking disturbing horror. |
Last House is a great little disturbing gem. But, even though the above story concerning its director "Victor Janos" sounds alluring and perfectly molded to the gritty exploitative vibe of the film, it was actually made by porn director Roger Watkins. All of this is detailed in the excellent book called "Sleazoid Express" by Bill Landis and Michelle Clifford, which is a must-own for any lover of down-n-dirty films. There's even a picture of Watkins taken in 2001 and the detailed history of the film that was restored, lost, cut, lost again, restored from a Spanish print with gore intact then eventually losta again!
