Featured review
I first saw this in the 90s on a vhs.
Revisited it recently.
This exploitation film is loaded with awful acting, bad effects but it is violent, claustrophobic n very brutal (the rape scene). The less said bah Findlay's direction, the better.
Basically it is a mix of Assault on Precinct 13 n Demons 2.
A gang with their lol leather attire kills n assaults tenants of an isolated shabby building.
With the telephone lines cut off n no help from the outside world, they r isolated n terrorised in their own building but they do hold their fort n tries to fight em off with terrible consequences.
It has some brutal kills with over the top blood n cheesy effects.
The hottie Corinne Chateau does show her boobs but in a miss n a blink situation.
The names of characters r poppo, chaco, chula, monk, nines, etc.

Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaDirector Roberta Findlay says the savage rape of Leona (Rhetta Hughes) was inspired by the real-life rape and murder of Kitty Genovese, which occurred on March 13, 1964. At the time this was filmed, the widespread public understanding of the Genovese case was that while she was being murdered, many witnesses who resided in her apartment complex saw the event transpire and chose not to act either by intervening directly or alerting the authorities. This led to decades of the case being considered emblematic of bystander apathy and group inhumanity; however, this perception was derived almost totally from one largely inaccurate account of the murder that in the twenty-first century has been heavily debunked.
