The epitome of a grindhouse flick for sure. But made in the mid 80s, a bit too late to catch that flair that it was missing, maybe. Held my attetion, and you really do cheer for the people of the tenement house. Some violent sequences are quite interestingly done. It has some disturbing parts, and shouldn't

Roberta Findlay directs a rather watchable little revenge flick that sees the residents of a building forced to fight for their lives when the gang living in their basement turns on them.It's a pretty nasty little low-budget flick and well worth a rental if you're in the mood for some sleaze.
