I've been trying to think back and I reckon this is the first German film we've reviewed and it definitely has a European look to it. With it's deft mix of severed heads and strippers I thought it was a rip-off of The Brain that Wouldn't Die, but it turns out this came first, so I'm pretty comfortable saying that Brain that Wouldn't Die is the rip-off. This looks better, but Brain that Wouldn't Die had the good sense to streamline an overcrowded plot in which everyone has a weird backstory (and/or weird eyebrows) and seldom has any bearing on affairs. Seriously, when a character introduces themselves as 'the only survivor of a shipwreck' you expect that to come up again! If all German low budget horror is this packed with wilful oddness then we'll be doing more.
