Perry Kate Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Contentar Best movie of this year hands down!

Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

Ezmae Chang This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

kapelusznik18 ****SPOILERS**** Brutal and sadistic movie about these two New York City parking garage workers Alex & Ricky who invite themselves to this party in the wilds of New Jersey and end up terrorizing the persons there. There's a big surprise at the end of the movie that explains why the two low live creeps were so tolerated by those at the party that almost had them all murdered by Alex & friend. And not only that the reason was in plain sight to those of us watching the film without realizing it until the trap was sprung on them with gut crunching and mind boggling results.The movie plays a lot like if not an actual sequel to the movie where David Hess, who played the vicious and mentally impaired Alex, also starred in as a deranged psycho killer eight years earlier called "Last House on the Left". Here the story follows the same script with "Last House on the Left" of what crimes Alex did that ends up catching up with him. The film goes from the big city of New York to suburban New Jersey as were exposed to a number of crimes that bring everyone, victim and victimizers, together in this upscale house in the middle of nowhere where most of the action in the movie plays itself out.****SPOILERS****At first both Alex and his wimpy partner in crime, he faints at the very sight of blood, Ricky have it all their way brutalizing and raping their helpless victims. There's an added attraction or victim to the two psycho's menu when teenager Cindy unexpectedly shows up at the house. Kidnapped and humiliated by a gleeful Alex he later has the frightened girl strip and instead of raping her slices her up with his straight edge razor, the only weapon he used in the movie, like he was playing a game of tic tact tow on her body! It was what seemed like the most brutalized and helpless of the men held hostage Tom that in the end turned the tables on the two hoods. And with the help of everyone whom they tortured and sexually abused he did a number on them that they, while still alive and breathing, will never ever forget!

chaos-rampant Let's be honest here: you didn't come to this for an elaborate mise-en-scene (such a horrible word) that reveals an allegory on the displacement of modern man. Hell, you don't even know what a mise-en-scene is. You don't care. It sounds like something you would like to punch a hole through. Do you like balloons or ribbons? No, you're a guy who likes guy stuff: dynamite, karate, trucks, kickass movies.No, you came to this because you know David Hess is going to hole up in a fancy cottage house holding hostage a host of snotty New York characters who think they are too good to boogie down with disco. Because he's going to be wearing a lemon yellow jacket and something close to an afro and he's going to oogle and leer at women in that perverse way between rapist uncle and protective big brother. Giovanni Radice is going to be his imbecilic sidekick. Girls are going to get undressed whether they want to or not, a razor is going to be put in use.So by all accounts this must be the brutal, intense, grueling experience other viewers describe. Deodato is involved and that used to mean something back in the day. But it's not, not really, and I'm not just preening with aloof jadedness here.No, it's glorious exploitation as the term used to have meaning. Hysterical, cheesy, dirty, but so enjoyable. There are no politics here, just one long sexual fantasy about forceful sex and degradation that can be enjoyed equally well from both ends. David Hess exudes raw animal magnetism and gets to have his way, that is until the mandatory moral denouement. The ladies get to enjoy being had or play along for the game. That is all.Now the guerrilla shots from inside a moving car at the beginning of the film that capture night rolling down on New York, these are pure film poetry to my mind. As far as a film New York off the beaten track is concerned, I rate these highly and next to Jean Rollin's cold cityscapes from Lost in New York.

cherootvendors I am probably the only person (apart from Ruggero Deodato, perhaps) who will ever give this film such a high rating. There is no doubt about it: this rip-off of The Last House on the Left is a trashy, sleazy movie, but for an exploitation film it has a sense of style and élan that sets it apart from other such efforts in the genre. (Even as I write this review I cannot believe I am using words like 'élan'...) But for some reason that I will try to explain, I really loved this movie.The plot of Park sees two working class low-lifes (Hess and Radice) gate crashing the party of some chic Manhattan socialites. Initially there is fun and flirtation, but when the snobbish jibes get too close to the bone, Alex (Hess) becomes a little touchy and turns psycho with his cutthroat razor...With its stylish New York setting and cheesy disco score by Cannibal Holocaust composer Riz Ortolani, The House on the Edge of the Park makes for glossy, tongue-in-cheek grindhouse fare. The film is well-directed by Deodato, fresh from the controversy of Cannibal Holocaust, and sees another bravura performance from Hess as the Krug-like Alex. It is also surprisingly tense and well-paced, giving it a slight edge over that other Last House rip-off, Late Night Trains (1974). But like its model, at the centre of this film is a prolonged torture-humiliation sequence that still makes this movie a cause for concern with the British censors: in it, a pretty young partygoer is sadistically menaced by Alex and his razor, while he croons her name in incredibly disturbing fashion. It is a shocking and unpleasant scene to be sure, but this is, after all, a horror movie. Apart from this one scene it would be difficult to explain why this film had such problems with the BBFC and the DPP. It must have been the overall concept (working class thugs invading a middle class home) and the depiction of violence against women (although there is plenty of violence against men, too). Of course, it's more likely to have been the ambiguity of some of the female characters, who find these louts strangely exciting and fascinating, but especially Alex with his brooding, Neanderthal presence. At any rate, the film is still heavily cut in Britain and has yet to find a strong fanbase along the lines of other exploitation movies. Well, I like it!Film: **** Nastiness: ****

MovieGuy01 I found Ruggero Deodato's film The House On The Edge Of The Park to be a good film. It is about a man called Alex (David Hess) who is a thug driving around New York City at night when he spots a young woman (Karoline Mardeck) driving alongside him. He follows the woman to a nearby park where he makes her stop the car. Alex gets out of his car, and runs into the young woman's car where he throws her into the back seat and proceeds to savagely rape her before strangling her to death. Later, Alex is with his friend Ricky (Giovanni Lombardo Radice), both of whom work in a local mechanic garage Alex is planning to go a local disco and Ricky is coming along. Suddenly, a large Cadillac pulls into the garage which a young, couple named Tom (Cristian Borromeo) and his girlfriend Lisa (Annie Belle) where they ask for help because their car's motor is making strange sounds. Alex refuses to help them saying that the garage is closed, and continues to refuse assistance even after Tom offers him money. but helps them in the end, making the car run again. Tom tells Alex and Ricky that they are driving to a friend's house in New Jersey for a party, and Alex asks them if he and Ricky could come along, what couple do not no what lies ahead for them. I found this to be a very violent film.
