Dværgen, or The Sinful Dwarf as it's more commonly known amongst English speaking audiences, is set in England where failed author Peter Davies (Tony Eades) & his wife Mary (Anne Sparrow) are searching for a cheap room, eventually they come across a boarding house run by Lila Lash (Clara Keller) & her midget dwarf son Olaf (Torben Bille) who charge a reasonable £6 a week. Unfortunately Mary doesn't like the house & with very good reason because Lila & Olaf keep young women chained up in the attic & shoot them up with heroin to make them more compliment so when a paying guy comes round looking for sex he can do pretty much anything he wants with them. Mary discovers the horrifying truth but Lila & Olaf force her to become their latest unwilling employee...
This Danish American co-production was directed by Vidal Raski & what an unpleasant boring little film it is too. The script, if you can call it that, by William Mayo is as sleazy as they come. From kidnapped girls who are forced into prostitution, forced heroin addiction, a perverted little dwarf & his ugly old mum, a drug dealer named Santa Claus, rape, whippings all set in a grimy location which they would have to pay me £6 a week to live in rather than the other way around. Dværgen sounds really good doesn't it? Unfortunately I found it a rather tedious & boring film, the character's are awful & there is no development at all, the dialogue is strangely dull & not particularly funny, the pace is slow, the exploitation scenes are few & far between & aren't that graphic anyway. Overall Dværgen has a sleazy feel about it because of the subject matter & the things which are taking place rather than what is actually on screen. I just didn't like it at all really, I found it far too dull & boring to sustain my interesting over 90 odd minutes which felt like a very, very long time.
Director Raski films things in the most dull, bland & amateurish way. This is point, shoot & hope for the best sort of stuff. There's no style or flair here at all, it's not scary & there's no tension or excitement to be found anywhere. Disappointingly it's not even that graphic either, there isn't a drop of blood in it until the very end as someone gets shot & someone falls out of a third storey window. There's a fair amount of female nudity in it but once you see a woman's bit's & pieces it grows old very quickly. The sex is also relatively tame, this is strictly softcore all the way. To be honest if you want porn simply buy a proper hardcore porno, it'll give you more enjoyment than Dværgen ever will.
Technically Dværgen is pretty damned poor, this is an eyesore in fact with horrible photography including jerky camera pans & zooms & lousy production values to boot. The acting sucks as well from a cast of unknowns who thankfully have remained that way ever since.
Dværgen is a poor film only saved by it's sleazy storyline, anyone looking for a mainstream film then Dværgen will be your worst nightmare while anyone looking for some good exploitation will find Dværgen disappointingly slow & tame. Not a film I could, or indeed would, recommend. Dværgen is one that you can safely give a miss.
