Italian horror icon Riccardo Freda directs I Spit on Your Grave star Camille Keaton in this gory shocker concerning four hippies who seek shelter from a summer storm in a seemingly-abandoned villa, only to realize that they have stumbled into a satanic sacrifice. Frightened away by the gruesome orgy of violence, the hippies waste no time in beating a hasty retreat. Things quickly go from bad to worse, however, when the innocent peaceniks are subsequently accused of committing a massacre that
eclipses that of even the Tate-LaBianca murders. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi
Quite possibly one of the most tedious and nonsensical pieces of Italian cinema that I've ever seen. And yet I found that I just had to see it through to the end...
Don't watch the trailer on the extras, because like so many of these low-budget shockers it shows all the best parts in advance, so why bother watching the rest? Then again, maybe that's not such a bad idea.
Rumor has it [the director] wanted to strike Tragic Ceremony from his resume. While it's certainly not that bad, it's not a great fright flick by any stretch of the imagination.
Basically one star for the little bit of gore and one for the laughs..... but otherwise, Fuck this has got to be the most incoherent movie ever.... the whole plot and editing is a mess!... ha

Something of a meandering tale of a group of hippies who seek refuge from a storm in the wrong villa, where they find themselves amidst a group of Satanists, then they later find themselves blamed for the Satanic murders.I have to say that I wasn't sure what to expect from this one and the film never really felt that
it built any particular momentum, which is a shame, as Camille Keaton is easy on the eyes, so one would think they could find a better way to use her.Rental? Maybe?
