The House on the Edge of the Park

"House on the Edge of the Park" is a truly shocking film, which makes other of its kind (like "Last House on the Left")tame in comparison. Here's the plot:David A.Hess plays Alex, a rapist/killer who rapes and murders a young woman in the car.After that, he and his buddy Ricky( Giovanni Lombardo Radice) go to a high society party.The orgy of violence begins there... Beware: this film contains some of the most shocking and disturbing scenes ever put to film. Especially the scene,when a young Cindy (Brigitte Petronio) is humiliated and tortured with a razor by Alex,is really sick and hard to forget. The musical score by Riz Ortolani is perfect(pretty funky-I might add!)and there are some memorable lines here. The cast is pretty good (Lorraine de Selle from "Cannibal Ferox" is almost likable as Gloria) and the film is well-written and cleverly-made. Definitely one to avoid if you don't like strong stuff. However if you're fed up with boring Hollywood's trash, then this exploitation gem is not to be missed. (IMDB  HumanoidOfFlesh)
