Okay, I know we're not supposed to cheer for the serial killer. I'm not saying I was. Well, maybe I was. He seemed like such a decent guy. His victims? Is it my fault that in the film today the young babes felled by this lunatic (or misunderstood loner) were not women of stellar character? In the style of Giallo or Euro-Trash, our movie today is a bit rough on the fairer sex. Today we look at 2007's "The Cellar Door," directed by Matt Zettell.
Brutal! Without humor! No twists! No surprises! Just unparalleled viciousness. The opening scene is heartbreaking...you'll see. Herman (James Dunont) is a mommy's boy. Presumably, his mom is deceased . Presumably she taught him that all babes were Satan's tools, or whores. Still, Herman is fascinated by them. So fascinated that he likes to capture them and keep them in his cellar in a cage he constructed. Unfortunately for Rudy (Michelle Tomlinson) and her roomie Christa (Heather Sconyers), they capture his attention. These are party girls. They party hard and drink a lot. Herman is no nonsense. As Christa falls asleep on the toilet, Herman rushes in and absconds with the passed out Rudy. Rudy is scantily clad and not too surprised she has ended up in a cage. Go figure.
Okay, Herman does not really have a plan. Rudy does. Yell a little and try to seduce her way out of captivity. Uh oh...we see Rudy's last captive (Christine Reynolds). This is weird...we see her as a maggot infested corpse who seems to appear to warn Rudy...as if Rudy is having trouble grasping the dire nature of her situation. Rudy, is a babe, and her seduction techniques seem to develop traction. Uh oh! Herman is not satisfied with just keeping a pet. His maniacal tendencies will victimize other babes in this film who won't be as fortunate as Rudy. The misogyny of Herman, sadly, will fell other babes as Rudy continues to plot escape.
Will Rudy be able to escape and/or murder Herman? How many of your neighbors have cages in their basements filled with nubile party-gals? Is anti-male wokeness breeding Hermans in our country? This is a brutal one with a good level of gore. For a gritty film in which nubile babes are victimized by the misogyny prevalent in today's western civilization, see "The Cellar Door."
