English language Italian backwoods slasher movie about a hunched killer called - wait for it - Igor!! He likes to abduct young campers & cut off their faces to make masks. There is also a mysterious mad woman in the woods.
We do get a fair dose of gore, some topless female nudity, a little bit of suspense & some decent use of the natural scenery. Sadly we also get some very bad acting - as wooden as the surrounding trees, a very basic plot that despite being only 76 minutes long outstays it's welcome & a killer that just suddenly appears out of nowhere (perhaps he can teleport!?).
For decades Italy churned out so many great, stylish horror movies but I've yet to be impressed by any recent ones, with this one being the worst so far.

michellekfoley13 April 2019Are some of these reviewers honestly complaining that the Bad Guy "walks" and yet, "is everywhere"? Uh, hello, welcome to Horror movies. You suspend belief. It's called watching a MOVIE.

nogodnomasters7 October 2017The film opens in a basement with a leather face type of guy getting ready to collect a new face plus the proverbial topless woman (Sofia Pauly) screaming. It was so cliché I was waiting to hear a director yell "Cut!" and we would get on with the real film. Not the case. Another couple is out camping in the woods, looking for the folks in the basement. They eventually meet up, as we would expect. The film has the creepy woods ax man, Ben (David White) who explains to us that "Little Sister" is the name of our killer. Ben has lived in these woods for years and apparently hasn't notified anyone of all the killings. Our killer, like so many slashers, has the ability to transport himself through space as he can be seen walking slowly as our escapee sprints away...and then he grabs her (Holli Dillon).
We get the background on our killer and his family late in the film, or if you want a quick read, see the film description at IMDb. The ending provided a little cleverness to an otherwise trite slasher.
Guide: No swearing. Sex and nudity (Holli Dillon, Sofia Pauly) -
richardhillier25 December 2018I could tell right from the get go this was going to be bad.
Script, delivery of dialogue, effects, camera work, pacing. Just all of it. -

parry_na1 January 2020This is an English speaking Italian horror/slasher film that contains some good moments, but is strangely devoid of any tension whatsoever. There's a good cast for the most part: Saverio Percudani impresses as the titular killer, albeit a little too groomed for an outcast.
There are elements of Leatherface to the character of Little Sister and his various depictions of lunacy that are so disturbing because of the serene way in which they are directed (by Maurizio del Piccolo, Roberto del Piccolo - Piccolo also wrote). It turns out - in a spoiler - that the killer is just one of a family of mentally unstable untouchables.
Quietly effective, it is true to say that only real jump scare is at the end, when without warning, the death metal end theme music kicks in as the credits roll. My score is 5 out of 10. -
kennedyshannon23 October 2017I have NEVER written a review, but this film I felt it was my duty to do so, for the good of the people.
That being said, STAY FAR AWAY FROM THIS, HIGH SCHOOL Film PROJECT!!!! It was AWFUL!! I hope these group of students had to retake this class! No story, no background on characters, no nothing except frequent loooong moments of pause on dumb objects scenes that are not relevant! Then again, what is the story?? I'm confused on what to really write about this D- project. Student film, at one point it's obvious they are using camera of their phone!! All copies of this need to be burned. Terrible -
ashe-8762723 January 2020This movie was so painful to watch. I had to fast forward some of it. It was slooooooow. There were long pauses and scenes upon scenes of silence. Then poor Nadine... The acting wasn't great either. It was bad and not scary at all. Don't forget the killer is hunched over... and his name is Igor. Yikes! I could've gone my whole life without seeing this movie.

Dave_douell18 August 2018I wrote this title about halfway through the movie, and believe me I was being much too kind. This has to be one of the stupidest movies I've ever seen. The guy was like The Flash I never saw him run but he was always right there! The only real surprise in this movie was that it could get even worse after the first half. The first time she ran from the guy after hiding behind the tree she ran in the opposite direction, yet they ended up at the same place just a few minutes later. The second time she ran from the guy, she ran and ran and ran and still ended up back at his shack. She could have killed him or at least tied him up after she hit him in the head with a shovel the first time. Don't even get me started on her cutting her boyfriends face off. This movie is awful don't waste your time.

darksyde-6350827 January 2018This movie starts put as what would appear to be just another "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" clone/ripoff, but quickly progresses into yet another stupid victims lost in the woods "Friday The 13th" ripoff, with a touch of "Wrong Turn" thrown in. And the killer of the title? Yeah, they aren't even female. Not the best of movies, the acting is what you'd expect, so no Oscar winners here. But thankfully, at 100 minutes long, it doesn't waste too much of your life that you'll never get back.

hcampbell-704732 June 2018This is no classic by any standards but it's not the garbage most here say. It's an old school slasher film and better than most other modern takes on it. It would have been received much better 30 years ago, when these were more prevalent. All in all, it's a fun throwback to a once strong sub genre.

hotaru-8607515 September 2020I didn't expect much from that movie. After watching the trailer I knew who is the final girl right away which kinda destroyed the movie for me. The backstory behind the killer is simple, something happened in his past - nothing new nor original. The lead actress did a solid performance (which undoubtedly could have been both better or worse) but nevertheless the movie was delivering at some point. It is made in quite rare way, because there is barely any dialogue throughout. There is a few suspenseful, well-paced moments in the movie but their nothing spectacular. Gore and blood here and there and beautiful scenery, some shots are amazing. For example, when protagonist girl finds killer's house in the middle of the woods, the shot is perfect and the music adds some 'amazement' elements to it.
Definitely isn't the best slasher out there but I'd give it a try.
