Well, this movie is um... bad. It's another one to add to that list of never should've been made movies. Trust me.

This movie is an italian flick. It was also called a number of different things too... Second house on the left among many others. Yes, it borrows from Craven's pile of shit movie... but the funny thing here is... it's actually better. LOL!

Anyways, it was made in the late 70's I believe. It's filmed in England maybe...??

The story is of two girls on their way home from a christmas party and are accousted by two drunken fools on the train. They are petty crooks if I remember right, so it made it all the more bizzare what they do to these girls.

To where as Last House had a host of real big time crooks who were capable of the acts they did in the movie... these guys are two who simply don't fit the bill. It really gives it an even more disturbing feel.

Anyways long story short... they rape, mame, beat, torture and abuse some more, these girls... they end up killing them and the movie should end, right? Nope! Not a chance... the movie has its absurd moments, but not cheese moments... these are moments of "Why the fuck didn't that person help?" OR "why did that old man just ask to join in?"

To where as Last house on the Left was littered with cornball ass lines and slap stick comedy spots... "The dinner scene comes to mind" The foam out side the door also...

This movie is brutal. It's very very very brutal. It's far and above Last house, trust me.

The father of these two girls happens to be a doctor or a surgeon or some shit and he comes to extract a little revenge... It's pretty rough too.  

The movie is a typical revenge movie just like Thriller: A Cruel Picture and I spit on your grave and Last house on the left and House on the edge of the park and Savage instinct all the rest... which means it ain't worth piss in a cat dish either.

However, this movie did have a better feel and more feeling put into it, I believe. It's not good by no means and anyone who watches this movie more than once is probably not normal... as with all the movies I listed above... but it did strike a chord in me and I thought you all should know about it... if you didn't already.

So check it out at your own risk. It's not worth a buy, trust me.

WHat's "accousted' mean?

I believe I meant to spell it "ACCOSTED" but in all of that review you picking out that word seems kinda random to me, LOL!  

Anyways, it means... To approach and speak boldly or aggressively... could be a demand or request for something or even to solicit for sex.

In the case for this movie... all of the above were broken. Hope that shed some light on the subject for ya.
