A British couple on a break on a small Greek Island spreads terror beyond anything the Islanders could ever have imagined, only stopping every once in a while to shag anything that moves, be it man, woman or animal. But will they go unpunished, or will the inspector from London be able to put an end to their killing spree?

ebrahim-mehri Yes. It's a B-movie. The plot is weak and it's only nude scenes that keep most people on their seats. The ending is disappointing and trivial. The so-called gore and violent scenes are too artificial and amateurishly produced. If you are looking for erotic material, this is not your film, because it does not show too much. If you are looking for violence, this is not yours, because the murder scenes are childish. If you are looking for a great drama, this is not yours, because of the awful story. All in all, if you're rich enough, yet buying its DVD is not recommended, because you'll regret your wasted money. If you download the pirated version, make sure your Internet bandwidth is not consumed !
Scott Jacobs I don't really quite fully understand what I have just viewed. This film was stupid and rubbish. I'm a big lover of the 'video nasties' and have done a lot of research into this film. I watched it expecting some good cheap thrills but got nothing. Not even good camera shots or any plot. Nothing. Just an annoying couple going round some Greek island murdering random people.I know that thats the plot and all but damn it wasn't even that notorious in my opinion. Yes i can see why it was banned but not once did it make me cringe or feel disgusted. I even watched the uncut version on the horror channel, but just weren't feeling it. I just didn't understand the motives behind it. PLUS the acting is just god awful. I mean the British accent the actress uses reminds me of Austin Powers. Was hilarious and killed any factor of any fear or fright.RIGHT HERES SOME SPOILERS SO IF YOUR STILL GOING TO WATCH THE FILM DON'T READ ON ************SPOILERS************* OK well the deaths in this film were poor. They were too tame for a film that is known for his shocking content! some guy gets sliced up which you don't see, only the aftermath, guy gets hanged which looks terrible sfx, head gets shot but only see brains splatter against the wall for like a millisecond or so. Best death is some women gets her head taken off with some big pusher thing...even then its not amazing.So much sex in this film its ridiculous! Every second someones being done and most of the time its allowed! Like two rape scenes i think which are terribly acted, it doesn't deliver the shock and disturbed feeling you get from viewing that content.Just basically if you like video nasties and wanna watch something thats really gonna make you disturbed, steer clear of this piece of rubbish. Doesn't deliver and seems very comical.There's like a pelican that knocks about and i swear to god, he is the real killer and main character. Best part of the film.Its a great movie, don't watch it.
tomgillespie2002 A British couple, Christopher (Bob Behling) and Celia (Jane Lyle) arrive on a peaceful Greek island to seemingly indulge in photography and the sun. We come to discover that Christopher is a religious fanatic, who, when he's not taking photos and sleeping with his sister, enjoys a spot of goat-raping (goatsploitation?), gay-bashing, and feeding paint to sleazy decorators. He enjoys watching his soon-to-be-victims fornicating with Celia from a distance before flipping out and doing a bit of the ol' murdering. Complete with electronic sound effects, bad camera-work, and terrible acting, this is probably Tarantino's wet dream.For the rest of us (I hope) this is bottom-of-the-barrel guff. I mean, this is shockingly bad stuff. I like a bit of cheap, guilty-pleasure crap as much as the next film fan, but this is just beyond explanation. Things just don't make sense. The aforementioned paint-feeding scene shows the victim being nailed to the floor, crucifixion-style, with the nails going barely a couple of millimetres into the ground, and then he proceeds to willingly opening his mouth and swallow the paint without struggling in the slightest, just making the odd murmur. Oh, the pain! It's a scene that Herschell Gordon Lewis would probably turn to his assistant and say 'listen, this is just too f*****g s**t!'. The film is basically this over and over again for 90 minutes, and it stops being funny after about 10. Avoid at all costs.www.the-wrath-of-blog.blogspot.com
paulgeaf I better start this by saying that I am no expert when it comes to the sleaze or exploitation movie genre. I didn't realise there was a specific genre for exploitation until recently but I suppose there would have to be...it's obvious, just me being an idiot. This film, taken on it's own merits with no preconceptions about anything and only the knowledge that it was about a young couple who kill people on a peaceful island, was just what I was looking for. Something a bit like the old Lucio Fulci films I used to love when I was younger. Well this wasn't quite like those. Or it was, but only the ones that were complete trash like the Black Cat Fulci film that is a turkey...like this! I don't want to spoil it for you so I won't be giving any details away but let me just sum up the movie: The acting is painfully baaaad. I know there are a million B-Movies and especially horrors that have acting just like this so I suppose you can expect it and may overlook it. Then to the plot. What plot? Then on to the dialogue. The dialogue?? Is there an actual worked out script or were they told to not say much and if anything came into their heads then just to mutter it and try and look convincing? The dialogue is poor.There are a couple of scenes that trouble people it seems from reading the boards here; The 'goat sex' scene. The guy does apparently have it away with a goat but I can confirm to you that you do not see this happening and it is not happening for real (at least that is what I believe!). At least the film makers had the sense to use the Hitchcock idea that 'Suggestion is more potent than graphic display' -of certain shocking scenes in film. You still see him...his face..but try not to get too excited! Then he kills the goat by slitting it's throat. Again here the makers spare us the graphic details but what we see is a goat alive, a goat dead, with tomato sauce all over it. There is sex in the movie and the whole movie revolves around jealousy and to a certain extent, sex. Although most men will appreciate the beauty of the various topless shots in this film, overall it fails to be sexy. I don't think it aims to be sexy ALL OF THE TIME but I do think the director wanted to make you like what they were doing in order to shock you later. It failed miserably. When this movie is over you will return here and agree with what I just told you. You will also wish you had gone and watched something else like a good Lucio Fulci movie or something of the B-Movie genre that really grabs you! 2/10
