director fernando di leo be best know to u horror nut for slaughter hotel ( 1971 ) and a sleazy giallo that forget to be thrill or horrific and instead concentrate mainly on get it female cast member naked during gratuitous lesbian and solo sex scene . this one ( which i saw under the title holiday massacre ) be his third foray into the horror or thriller genre and basically follow the same exact formula and cram as much nudity in a possible but seemingly forget about everything else . ostensibly a thriller take it cue from wes craven the last house on the left ( which influence many concurrent italian or euro exploitation film ) and all this really be be an excuse to have lead actress lorraine de selle parade around nude for about 85 minute . naturally and if youre a lorraine fan you will probably enjoy this for what it be and but if youre go in expect an actual thriller or horror film you will likely walk away pretty disappointed . convict thief and murderer joe brezzi ( joe dallesandro ) escape from prison and murder a man with a pitchfork and steal his car and then head off to find 300 million lira he would steal and hide in a secluded vacation home right before he be arrest . before he can get inside and get the loot ( which be hidden underneath the fireplace ) and married couple sergio ( gianni macchia ) and liliana ( patrizia behn ) show up look for a little weekend r and r. also tag along be liliana self absorb and bitchy young sister paola ( lorraine de selle ) and who be secretly have an affair with sergio . that even there a lengthy sex scene for the couple ( and a solo effort from ms. de selle on the couch ) and a joe patiently wait outside . the next day and sergio go hunt and liliana go into town get some grocery and paola decides to stay behind to sunbathe ( topless and of course ) . joe strike when the get good and knock out paola and start chip away at the fireplace with a pick axe . when paola come to and she rap ( well and it start a a rape . ) and then her sister and brother in law show up for more of the same . a pretty low budget affair and with minimal location change and minimal action and a very small cast and this one lack suspense and tension and isn not nearly nasty or violent enough to be worth recommend . dallesandro be the only one who manage to keep his clothes on the entire time ( even during the rape scene ) and basically coast through this entire film with an annoying anger look facial expression . another constant annoyance be a huge poster of john travolta grin mug hang on a wall in the room where most of the film take place . and despite the title there really be no massacre aside from a little rifle shoot at the very end .
