Last Caress (II) (2010)
5/10
an ode to the giallo and Italian horrors
4 June 2012
I was warned by a seller at a convention, he just saw this flick and had put it off while attending. My curiosity was of course build and finally I got my uncensored version. It clocked in at 70 minutes, credits included of course.

This is a flick that will have its pros and contras. It was made in France and I guess that all gorehounds, due released over here as Glam Gore, where thinking that this one would fill the list of the ultra gore French flicks like Haute Tension (2003), Martyrs (2008), Frontieres (2007) and A L'intérieur (2007). It doesn't. This flick was purely made for the giallo geeks.

The story if we can tell of a story is one of a kind that nothing is explained or one scene doesn't fit another. What the makers did was making an ode to the giallo's and Italian horrors. All elements are included, the masked face, the glove, the brutal killings, the reflecting sunglasses. You have seen it all before. On the other hand they also included the possessed Italian horrors into their story with sessions going on where one girl her eyes turn to white. They also included scene's that refer to nunsploitation.

The acting is terrible and the story has big holes everywhere but the violence and good effects did offer something to watch. It doesn't become as gory as a Fulci flick but still they slice, slash and cut inti the flesh, most of the effects done on-camera. Another thing is that all the girls do shows their juggs and even one does go full frontal. What failed was the score used, it started as a Goblin rip-off but further in this flick it moves to some kind of techno.

If you are a giallo fan ot Italian horror lover then pick this up. If you love gory shots and nudity then also pick this up but if you're looking for a good story or good acting then you have picked up the wrong DVD. Also on the disc the short film Under The Blade, full of gore and again with a twist towards giallo's.
