Finally a real sleaze movie

I was over the top positively surprised as I finally got to see the uncut release of this movie (as compared to my 10 yrs old censored vhs tape). It compares to other favorites like NY Ripper and Buio Omega. A masterpiece which shows it all, just the way it should be. Totally cool. Of course it lacks intelligence and so on, but who cares. This is hard no non-sense sleaze horror. The kind of movie that isn't made today. Some Tarantino gunfire or stupid martial arts galore cannot compare to real depraved italo-cinema peeping tom NIHILISM !!!! And I liked the hardcore; Nice ugly 70's people...

I definitely give it a 10 out of 10.
