Do you like SILENCE OF THE LAMBS? Did you enjoy COPYCAT? Then you are supposed to like that one, but for sure you won't. The actors are really awful, the director has no sense of suspense at all and the story doesn't really thrills the viewer. If you like Esther Schweins, avoid this little silly horror film at all costs.
I saw this one on DVD, running time 85'. I don't know if this is the uncut version. The film is thrilling enough to keep you glued but it is a pity that the good plot idea is wasted by poor direction and a totally implausible script. Thanks to the above average cinematography and the excellent soundtrack the film manages to create quite an intense, threatening athmosphere. The ritualistic murders are very graphic and some of the images are pretty hard to stomach. Acting by the two main characters, the murderous sisters played by Esther Schweins and Stefanie Stappenbeck is quite good but they suffer from the scripts shortcomings on character development. For true fans of the genre only.
Saskia+Maxie (sisters) were violated by their father and his friends. Location is an old private hospital, where the parents worked as medicines. They invented a perverted game: Intercourse with the two little girls, while cutting themselves with knives. (backgroundmusic:"Der Rosenkavalier" by Richard Strauss) Years later, Saskia and Maxie take bloody revenge.The cop(Tyron Rickets)is on their track, falls in love with Maxie, get killed. Their mother (Judy Winter) reads in their diary about the killings and shoots both of them. Weird Movie, nasty atmosphere, badly edited. Cheers, YoBro (unit manager)
