I was looking forward to seeing this film, but found it incomprehensible. I could see it was trying hard to be realistic, but it was too bleak.

This must be the slowest most boring film I have nearly seen. I watched and dozed through about 2 hours of it and then I decided that I had suffered long enough. Sadly I never saw the long awaited climax of the film. It was too excruciating to watch any more of it.

I watched this in hope of some subtle erotic charge as promised in the description, but what I got instead was more of an accident in an abattoir. I could not even finish the first episode in spite of persevering beyond what one would normally want to. Whatever this series is about, it is not worth trying to find out.

Not a bad film, but it was kind of relentless. The subtitles did not work, but it was did not matter a great deal, as there is very little dialogue. Nicely shot, lacking in other aspects.

This seems mis-classified to me. It is a simple horror film. Great if you like plenty of gore and little else.

I thought this was a horror film, but it turns out it is a true story. It is seriously bleak and unrelentingly wretched.

Dated, childish, predictable... shall I continue... it seems much older than 1981, stereotypical characters, limited cast, just bad bad bad.

This film has no spoken English or subtitles. What exactly was the point of giving it an English title?

Visually it was pretty good, but the story is very thin and stretched out to fill the time. Some aspects of the story are introduced out of nowhere and do not seem convincing. There are long passages with an appalling soundtrack and not much else.

It was better than I expected considering it was made in 1936. Unfortunately the sound quality was less than perfect, so much of the ideas behind it were lost to me.

This was a good story and should have been a great film, but something was lacking. It was all a bit sketchy and vague.

Relentlessly down in the mouth. Not a glimmer of anything uplifting, happy or hopeful. Just grime, sweat and misery.

Very enjoyable, but in the last episode I was puzzled to see a woman with a trendy short haircut. It looked completely out of place. I wonder if women really had hair like that then.
