Born for Hell (1976)
9/10
Nasty and disturbing thriller.
5 May 2003
"Born for Hell"/"Naked Massacre" takes place in Belfast,Northern Ireland during civil war and IRA terror.A group of eight young innocent nurses are sharing a house with no men to protect them.Mathieu Carriere is an ex-Vietnam soldier,with a pathological hate for all women.In a night of bloody horror he stalks the nurses,murdering them one by one until all meet their demise at the hands of this madman.The film is truly unsettling with some nasty scenes of misogynistic sexual violence.It is apparently based on actual events(Richard Speck - mass murderer of eight innocent nurses in 1966),what makes it even more disturbing and grim.The acting is very good and it's nice to see Leonora Fani("Giallo a Venezia"-1979)as Jenny.The film is extremely hard to find,so grab the copy and treasure it.Still it's a pretty strong stuff and definitely not for everybody.
