Reviews

Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
Salubfoto It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.
Chantel Contreras It is both painfully honest and laugh-out-loud funny at the same time.
Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
trashgang When this came out it went immediately into the world of must see extreme gore flick. But the problem was released in Italian language it had to be translated. So far you will only find it common at conventions in it's original language or with German subs. And prices go high for this one. Luckily for the rest of the world there's also a release with English subs.Sadly the one with English subs is 10 minutes shorter then the extended Itakian version but don't worry, even the shorter version will feed the gorehounds. The story in such kind of flicks isn't that important but here we do have an actual simple story. But not for the casual horror geeks because Adam Chaplin always has that demon behind him telling stuff. It's low budget but the effects are really well done. And it's naturally gore galore all the way. Faces being smashed, arms being broken, heads being shot, you know what I mean, all done on- camera.The acting is below zero and all looks a bit exaggerated. After 45 minutes you have seen it all, the way the killings are done and my attention faded away. But it do became a cult flick that is hardly sought by the gorehounds. But if you can stand it until the end, the last 12 minutes are really messy.Gore 4/5 Nudity 0/5 Effects 3/5 Story 2/5 Comedy 0/5
willpryoractor This film wont be to every-bodies taste. There are 3 certain flicks it reminds me of.I will keep this simple - Fist of the North star + The Crow + Brain Dead = Adam Chaplin!!!!!! sound like your sort of thing? Well what the Hell are you waiting for????Don't expect a laugh riot like Brain Dead but the severed limbs and Splat-stick humour are definitely present1000 mile an hour punches resulting in exploding body parts are definitely inspired by F.O.T.N.S.The vengeance for the slaying of a loved one by embracing darkness reminded me of Brandon Lee's The Crow but maybe more on par with Faust as our hero sells his soul to demonic forces to enable his acts of revenge.Haven't yet seen Ricky-oh yet (need to) but everyone who has seen both dub this the Italian version.Comes on like A live action Ultra-violent Manga.
udar55 A musclebound drifter named Adam Chaplin (Emanuele De Santi, also the director) wanders through Heaven City looking for the man who killed his girlfriend. Pushing him in his quest is a small demon that crawls out of a upside down crucifix scar on his back. His target, a deformed guy named Denny who runs the city and survives on the chemical Neurocril 3, hires a bunch of goons to take this threat out before he can reach him. Existing like some kind of live action anime film, this is a total 180 from the film reviewed above. De Santi obviously had limited funds, but goes above and beyond to infuse his SOV film with a sense of style. It also helps that it might be one of the bloodiest movies I've ever seen. The action is pretty much non-stop and keeps getting crazier and crazier until the finale where Chaplin is making heads explode in gory-soaked scenes that would make Ricky Oh faint. It is going to change your life or challenge THE EXORCIST as an all-time horror great? No. But if you are looking for some insane skull smashing, this is the champ.
MRDA A homage to hyperviolent wuxia anime, supernatural vengeance flicks, and grindhouse, this bukkake of blood delivers more splatter for the platter than the filthiest gokkun fest. The directorial and acting debut of one Emanuele De Santi, this supernatural revenger flick plays out like some twisted hybrid of The Crow and Fist of The North Star, surpassing the live-action version of the latter in terms of sheer spectacle. A colourful cast, including some monstrous yet oddly sympathetic villains, help keep things ticking over between the bloodjaculatory set pieces. A testament to the fact that one can stretch a tight budget a long way. Hopefully, this'll not be the last seen of Santi.
