视频简介
这是一部电影中的电影，约翰（迈克尔·勒纳 Michael Lerner 饰）是一名眼科医生，一次工作中，他因为琐事同一名女病人吵了起来，结果不出所料，约翰丢掉了他唯一赖以生存的工作。回家后，约翰将事件的来龙去脉讲给了自己的母亲爱丽丝（赛尔达·鲁宾斯特恩 Zelda Rubinstein 饰）听，母亲闻后十分愤怒，为了报复，她催眠了自己的儿子，将约翰变成了喜欢收集眼球的变态杀人狂。 恐怖的电影让观众们感到无所适从，阴森恐怖的气氛中，影片中的杀手似乎就隐藏在他们身边。然而，这种感觉并不是错觉，在黑暗的影院里，的确存在着一个被影片催眠的狂徒，渐渐的，杀戮和鲜血蔓延开来。。Umberto Lenzi is undoubtedly the king of Italian crime movies, but unfortunately| Syndicate Sadists is not the best examples of his work in this genre. Lenzi's crime flicks tend to be a cut above the rest because he makes films based on stories with a point, and they don't lack direction| but this film feels a bit too wayward to fully fit with the rest of his stuff. The film takes obvious influence from Sergio Leone's landmark western 'A Fistful of Dollars' (which in turn, took influence from Akira Kurosawa's landmark samurai flick Yojimbo), in that it features two warring families and a strong character at the centre. The crime that Lenzi focuses on is kidnapping, and we centre on a character called 'Rambo'. Rambo is dragged into the war between the two families after his brother is killed because of it. Rambo uses his brains and brawn to pit the two families against one another, in the hope of gaining revenge for his brother's death, rescuing a young boy that they've kidnapped, and ultimately letting the two sides destroy one another. The film's biggest asset is undoubtedly Tomas Milian. Milian was put to great use by Lenzi in almost all of his crime thrillers. The range of characters he has played for Lenzi is immense, and this one is easily one of the coolest. The character is called Rambo, which immediately sprang to mind the popular Sylvester Stallone character - but for once, the Italians actually haven't stolen this name as Syndicate Sadists was released first! As usual, the film is wickedly entertaining, as we get to watch Milian get himself involved in the usual array of car chases, shootouts and brawls. Lenzi has got him riding a motorbike this time round, and every scene featuring it and Milian is a real standout! However, the film often feels like it doesn't really have anywhere to go, and this means that the running time is stretched out more than it should be. Compared to the crime films of other Italian directors, Syndicate Sadists is more than above average| but in relation to Lenzi crime flicks such as Almost Human and The Cynic, The Rat and The Fist - it doesn't stand tall as one of Lenzi's best. Still, if you're looking for ninety minutes of testosterone fuelled mayhem - Syndicate Sadists will suffice!。
