The opening seven minutes show the Roman director on top form delivering a well-choreographed softcore Nazi orgy. Al Cliver has a memorable cameo as a cocaine-crazed officer. This intro is devoid of dialogue and works perfectly as a self-contained short film.Pity Fulci had to tack another 80 minutes of supernatural teen pseudohorror bullshit onto this little gem.
The first line spoken by one of the 'teenagers' as they enter the film is 'che noia!' - 'how boring!'Indeed, it heralds the arrival of the worst and most washed-out Fulci film I've seen.
Demonia is better.Touch of Death is way better.Sweet House of Horrors isn't much better but at least has great cinematography.
Sodoma's Ghost could make a suicide double-bill with the equally moronic and interminably long (but still cult) Graveyard Disturbance/Una notte al cimitero. Sitting through those two back-to-back could bring even the most resilient fan's love affair with Italian genre cinema to a premature end.
