For his first film in 23 years, Ruggero Deodato – the legendary director of such ItaloSleaze classics as CANNIBAL HOLOCAUST, HOUSE ON THE EDGE OF THE PARK and RAIDERS OF ATLANTIS – explored a different breed of butchery inspired by the Perugia exchange student murder that shocked the world: After a wild night of sex, drugs and clubbing, a young woman, her boyfriend and his dealer pal wake to find her straight-laced roommate brutally murdered. But will what happens next reveal the most horrific secrets of all? Cinematographe.it calls Deodato’s ripped-from-the-headlines return “a disturbing thriller that’s violent, cynical and excessive,” featuring a pounding score by Claudio Simonetti (SUSPIRIA, DEMONS), with 2+ hours of startling new Special Features and available in America for the time ever.
