About this movie

The story of an unorthodox asylum for the sexually insane: From a semi-improvised script, featuring startling bursts of graphic violence and nudity. - In 1988, South African filmmaker Cedric Sundstrm took a group of skilled actors to a disused railway warehouse in Pretoria to shoot the story of an unorthodox asylum for the sexually insane. With a semi-improvised script, a Roeg-meets-Argento style palette, and startling bursts of graphic violence and nudity, it was immediately banned by the government. It has remained virtually unseen until now.
