This is really not very well directed at all and despite quite a lot happening still seems to plod along. Characters appear and disappear without much concern (neither by the other characters nor us) and an air of confusion reigns. There are also the most unbelievably predictable sequences with people backing into open windows or creaking doors. There are one or two surprises (especially the very end) but there is little to really concern or involve the audience. The film is saved by its rather nasty edge and its tendency towards sleaze. It is crude and inept and yet I don't recall seeing a near naked and dead body manhandled as much as the first victim is in this and there is more of the same tone throughout. This just about prevents one falling asleep but leaves a rather nasty taste.
