Title: Rather poor quality
Review: I am not sure, but I think that this movie is still banned here in Germany. The more I was looking forward to see it in its original, that is uncut, form.However, the quality of this edition is rather poor. While it seems to be uncut, the sound and picture quality (even considering the fact that this whole thing was shot on 16mm) is a major nuisance.The opening sequence (with a young girl being killed in the water by the cannibalistic George Eastman) was shot in German language, but it took me (as a native speaker) a while to realize that this was neither Italian nor English! That's how bad the sound quality is.The movie as such besides its technical flaws, is...also a disappointment, at least in my book. Bad acting, bad directing, a minimum plot, quite passable special effects...this is not enough to satisfy me. (I have to admit though that I am not too much into late 70s/early 80s Italian horror flicks, so my opinion may not be of too much relevance here.)
Is the review positive or negative?
