Total lack of flair

Amazingly dull. I should have known to not expect much from hackstrordinaries Fragasso and Mattei. Italian films for all their dubious quality show some style or kickass music or a total lack of etiquette. Nothing at all in this movie. Music is ripped off from superior movies wholesale, utter lack of flair or visual style to enliven proceedings. Way too much stock footage too. Gore was decent and the kid's death was a jolt but too little too late.
Even D'Amato regarded as a total hack(well he was) had some beautiful cinematography (mostly by himself) and Buio Omega showed if he bothered to explore his talent, he could have had better movies. No chance for Fragasso though. He "peaked" with Troll 2. Mattei with this and Rats.
