Managed to pick up the DVD for a buck at a used record store a couple years ago. As always, nice work, Christian!!

But whereas a woman was strung up naked and burnt alive in Don’t Go in the House, another was strung up and literally frozen in the Saw film. Can’t help but feel the filmmaker was influenced by this movie for that specific sequence.

What I remember most about it, was a friend’s older brother had it as a really low quality bootleg and told us it was a snuff movie. The idea of it gave me nightmares for years even though i never watched it!
Having seen it a few years back as an adult, there’s just something about fire and the idea of burning that gets to me.

It is a bit like Maniac, although I wouldn’t say quite as good, but far better than many of these movies. The filmmaker really walked that line between OK for film and totally offensive. They did a great job.

And I agree with Adam, the gritty New York stuff just adds more personality to it!

DGITH sits well next to Maniac and others. Seems shooting in New Jersey or New York is a contributing factor in grimy, seedy slashers like this!
