Creepy,Sexy,Cheesey & Disturbing All At The Same Time !
Ruggero Deodato's "HOUSE ON THE EDGE OF THE PARK" is a super softcore p(xxx)n thriller with good acting from most everybody in the film especially madman cult villain David Hess along with a fun little twist ending. This one deserves a spot on any genre collectors shelf. Perfect for a cold rainy day!

Putting the "exploit" into exploitation...
In the House on the Edge of the Park, a group of decadent rich kids invite two blue collar low lifes (David Hess and Giovanni Lombardo Radice) to a party (which, presumably, is being held at a house on the edge of a park). At first, Hess and Radice are rather cruelly patronized by their hosts. However, it turns out that Hess is also a psychotic sadist and he quickly turns the tables, spending the rest of the night tormenting and raping the upper class. Finally, his victims attempt to strike back and it all leads to a "surprise" ending which is surprising mostly because it seems to have been made up at the last minute when the film's makers realized they didn't have an ending. <

>Though hardly the crime against humanity that some critics have made it out to be, The House on the Edge of the Park is still a pretty lousy movie. After a strong start (the film has one of the most disturbing openings I've ever seen), director Ruggero Deodato appears to grow bored with the material and shows little of the flair that has distinguished his other films. As well, the film does feature one of the worst (if undeniably catchy) disco soundtracks ever to show up in film. As the film's violence escalates, it starts to display an attitude that comes dangerously close to being blatantly anti-female (a claim that, all hyperbole aside, cannot really be made about most Italian exploitation films no matter how over-the-top their action may be). <

>If there is a redeeming factor to the House on the Edge of the Park, it is the lead performance of David Hess. Playing a truly depraved character, Hess is actually quite frightening and never less than believable (even when the rest of the film isn't). In this film, Hess creates one of the most memorable screen villians ever and he brings a real element of danger to the film. As his mentally challenged buddy, Giovanni Lombardo Radice also gives a good performance, creating a character who is both sympathetic and scary. Indeed, Hess and Radice give performances that are probably too good for the film they've found themselves stuck in. Though it's hard to recommend the film to anyone, it's very easy to recommend these two excellent performances to anyone who appreciates good acting.
