Ballad in Blood

Usually directors coming back after such a long break looses a lot of their touch but this isn't the absolute worst case about it. It's shot relatively well and there's surprisingly no usages of CGi gore(looking at you Dario) and the t & a is nice. However the story and dialog suffer the most even for genre film standard and it does have long stretches of boring "whodunnit" moments. I would only recommend this if you're so ever curious or have no better use of your time, otherwise, seek other sleaze gore fest. 4.5/10.

Reminds me of the schlock B grades i used to watch as a teenager...Don't expect any Oscar nominations, but well worth a watch when the wife is gone and you have pizza and beer...!

This is not as splendid as the 1980 of both Cannibal Holocaust and House of the Edge of the Park or even The Washing Machine (1993) but Ruggero Deodata was in his late 70s and it is just not as terrible as some say. I have to say it starts off like a bit of a mess with everyone on drugs and drink and they not know what is going on or us either. But it begins to makes sense especially with it inspired with the Meredith Kercher killing and in the end I really liked it. Of course it is lots of blood, gore and sex and seems okay particularly in the last half.

It's the day after Halloween. Jacopo and Duke wake up in the apartment of two girls: Lenka and Elizabeth. The dawn of that new day brings with it a big problem: Elizabeth died. But there's more, because none of the three remember what happened that night.

And you won't care because this is one of the worst movies ever made. You have to wonder who greenlit this garbage and who hired the "talent." That word is used very loosely in that there is no talent within 60 miles of the sets.

The acting is atrocious. This is so unprofessional I again have to ask, who thought this was a good idea and who paid to make it?

Also a lot of nudity too. You make of that what you want to. It either scares you off (no pun intended) or it ... well I am not sure I can get off/away with a euphimism here. Some people may be offended. But Ruggero always tries to offend - if you know his filmography you should be aware of that already.

That being said, the movie is quite out there. And if you are offended by what I write, the movie will be even worse if you watch it. The premise is simple: waking up not knowing what happened, trying to reconstruct how they got there and who did what to whom. A lot of drugs are involved and many other things that you would call evil I reckon. Also Ruggero has a Hitchcock cameo in this. A weird one that was not necessary, but you can find it annoying, others will celebrate it.

The main problem for most will be the lack of likeable characters or traits. I have seen worse movies, but I also have seen better movies. This is for the horror movie fans, that like sleaze and do not mind to get down and dirty ... watching movies that is.
