Utterly horrifying and sometimes compelling Spanish made horror thriller about a Nazi who loves to sexually molestes, tortures and murders kids. But after realizing how horrific of what he done to those children, he tried commiting suicide but it failed caused it leads him to be paraylzed to the neck in a special lung machine which he calls his glass cage. A young man becomes his nurse but he happens to be a former rape victim from when he was a yong boy that wants revenge.

This movie makes "Hostel" look like a mild fart, this is for really strong stomaches only and not for the faint of heart. This movie definitely ranks up there with "Funny Games", "Men Behind The Sun", "Irreversible", "Illsa series", "Guiena Pig" and "The Untold Story" as one of those need a shower after watching movies.

Yikes! Thanks for the run down on this one. I love Spanish films, but, for personal reason, I'll need to skip this one (has nothing to do with gore, violence, or weak stomache.)

I don't think Funny Games (original) belongs in the same sentence as the Guinea Pig series. I'm just saying.

Just scanned some reviews of this, which seem to be mostly positive, I'll have to have a look for it.

Well it doesn't show kids getting boned by the sicko but off camera and in shadows but does have them hang and chaired in the nude as the mad nazi tortures and murders them. It's kind of a hard movie to watch but still worth seeing for fans of extreme cinema, and this movie does belong in the same category as "Funny Games" or "Guiena Pig".
