Info

The year is 1971. Jennifer, a troubled actress, is institutionalized following psychotic visions on the set of her latest film. Upon her release, Jennifer becomes stranded in the desert only to be rescued by a colorful band of nomadic rebels. Helpless and alone, Jennifer has no choice but to follow them and is subtly but swiftly introduced into their family. That night, a local desert dweller tells them of an abandoned house and warns them to stay away. The family ignores the warning and uses the house as their latest crash pad. Jennifer becomes further plagued by sinister visions that reduce her ability to separate reality from fantasy. Soon members of the family are mysteriously killed one by one in the legend known as the "Slaughterhouse Of the Rising Sun"...

Unlimitedia Sick Product of a Sick System
Micitype Pretty Good
Justina The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
djangozelf-12351 I have no clue what the makers tried to do. What I do know is that they failed.First of,I can't remember seeing a slaughterhouse in this. Second,I thought rising sun had something to do with Japan but that also wasn't the case here.It's trying to make a homage for the seventies grind-house flicks but it also fails at that. Further more it did not need that at all and could be easily put in the present day.More than an hour long nothing really happens other than a girl meeting some free spirited souls. There is some sexy "behavior"but surprisingly little nudity for this sort of subject matter.There is some gore and some "ghosts" in it but none of them convincing enough to give it another star. It lacks content and you would be better of watching something good from the actual seventies.At the end of the movie you even get the idea the actors themselves did not take this to seriously.Comedy was given as 1 of the genres but as that was not in the film I think that means that the joke was on me.I wasted time on this.I hope...you don't.
Rubbed Raw This is not a horrible movie. It has a few moments. But there are many obvious giveaways that make it clear that it was not made in 1972. Things like hairstyles, clothing, the use of a steadicam and other modern digital editing techniques totally spoil the potential illusion. I don't know how anyone can say that it is convincing in this respect. Unless they have not watched a lot of films from 1972. The music is probably the most convincing part. I also think they make the mistake of playing for laughs at times (and not getting them) when they should have just played it straight. It could have been funnier that way. Just watch SCTV for examples of how that can work. But, in fact, I would have preferred it if they were not going for laughs at all. If they had instead chosen to just make a good solid horror film in the style of movies from 1972. And just an odd side note: Texas Chainsaw Massacre came out in 1974. I'm not sure how to interpret homage to/parody of a movie which is embedded in a movie that's supposed to be made two years earlier.
carl_andersen An excellent re-work of Seventies film clichés - or really a Seventies film, how the prologue will suggest? It's pure fun to point out during watching this very charming genre bastard, which contains several elements of 70ies road movies, hippie movies, horror movies, drug movies and a little bit Russ Meyer touch. And also a bit of David Lynch-like atmosphere. Okay: Lynch is not very typical for the 70ies, but anyway. The acting is great (especially the director himself as crippled hippie leader), also the dialogues and the cinematography. And there is also a lot of strange humour and irony in this generally strange, funny and likable independent movie.
robert-202 Saw this at the Fearless Tales Genre Fest in San Francisco and it went down a storm! Really enjoyed this movie and recommend that everyone go see it. The acting is great, the costumes are great, the cinematography is great and the sound design absolutlely spot-on! This is a very enjoyable and remarkable film - I look forward to seeing in again... 9/10 Rob
