Aroview: Bludgeoning sadistic fantasy, following in the footsteps of other French exponents of the rather unsavoury torture-porn mini-genre, this is also a blatant up-the-ante homage to the now 30-year-old TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE.

Yes folks, it's deranged backwoods family time again, this time led by a jackbooted Nazi war criminal who subjects a gang of anti-fascist(!) activists to all kinds of unpleasantness at his squalid country hotel. Because it's French, even these grotesque in-breds are pretty, and thus pretty unconvincing and, er, pretty silly. Despite its political pretentions, it's raison d'etre is to pull out as many stops as it can to be an uncomfortable experience - death by pincers, axes, ban-saws, and even a decompression chamber, not to mention piles of pig swill, offal and blood by the bath-load. A mish-mash indeed.
