Drug dealer Terry leaves prison determined to make society
pay for the way he has been treated. His anger apparently
stems from having been made to do as he was told and follow
strict rules (It's a hard life, innit!). He collects together
a team of sadistic outcasts - including a psychopath named
Ken(!), a film camera man stuck in a rut of producing tedious
porno flicks, and a couple of women lured by promises of money
- to make a film with a difference... it's rubbish! Oh, sorry,
I crossed the line between fantasy and reality there for a
moment. Anyway, then Terry finds his actors; or perhaps victims
would be a more accurate term. But the unwilling actors aren't
the only victims. What we finish up with is a free-for-all
of human amputation, branding, sawing and drilling...
Complete
and utter unmitigated and unadulterated tripe. My word, I've
seen some bad films but this has to be one of the worst.
I
suppose the original script (what, there was a script?!) had
Terry pushing the boundaries of experimental film-making whilst
actually making a snuff movie. However, people in weird masks
running around shouting and screaming, with a persistent odd
electronic soundtrack do not a good movie make, as they say.
The
idea here is to try and shock or disgust the viewing audience
without any consideration for plot, characterisation and filming
techniques. So we get slaughterhouse scenes and lots of string
sausages drowned in theatre blood. To call this a film insults
99.9% of films ever made. The cover describes it as "Grindhouse".
Well, let me tell you it was certainly a grind watching it.
Although this fully uncut version is remastered from the original
source materials, the quality is pretty bad throughout (in
both senses of the word).
If
it doesn't send you into a boredom-induced coma, this 2-disc
set contains as extras: Director Roger Watkins Short Films
with Commentary, an Original Trailer, Outtakes and Film Notes.
One more point: the title Last House on Dead End Street
appears to have no relevance to the product.
