adds an air of perversity to this HK slasher film, based on the Robin
Kwan shocker THE BEASTS from 1980 (also see THE BEASTS 2003: FLESH AND
THE BLOODY TERROR for another remake of the same story).
It's the story
of teenage friends partying on an idyllic island where they get stalked
and tortured by a mentally retarded boy and his chainsaw-weilding father.
The film is unusually grim (it's not intended to be a "fun teen slasher
movie") and is often harshly brutal. It is also loaded with some very
disturbing sexual violence. The plot, essentially, revolves around the
unrelenting dad who wants his retarded son to lose his virginity and turns
his chainsaw on anyone who is unwilling to help in the plan.
