1st watch 8/26/2001 negative ( dir tobe hooper ) represent scary and yet sadistic ( which make sense ) portrayal of a relative of the marquis de sade carry out the same sadistic act and enjoy it that supposedly his predecessor do . this tobe hooper film really doesn not do a whole lot different than his similar in style freddy krueger movie with the same star ( freddy himself robert englund ) play a dual role ( the marquis de sade and his relative ) . it be also seem like it want to really poke at christianity but then lose that in the end much to my chagrin but leave an inconsistent feel to the movie . could have be much bad if excess be take in sex and violence and but they try to keep this at a minimal despite some disgusting scene . my final thought be why would hooper want to make this movie . it obviously take awhile to actually get distribute and then it have to be advertise gruesomely and with hooper name in the title to hopefully make some money on his name and his gore . it obvious this do not work .
