Umberto Lenzi is undoubtedly the king of Italian crime movies, but unfortunately; Syndicate Sadists is not the best examples of his work in this genre. Lenzi's crime flicks tend to be a cut above the rest because he makes films based on stories with a point, and they don't lack direction; but this film feels a bit too wayward to fully fit with the rest of his stuff. The film takes obvious influence from Sergio Leone's landmark western 'A Fistful of Dollars' (which in turn, took influence from Akira Kurosawa's landmark samurai flick Yojimbo), in that it features two warring families and a strong character at the centre. The crime that Lenzi focuses on is kidnapping, and we centre on a character called 'Rambo'. Rambo is dragged into the war between the two families after his brother is killed because of it. Rambo uses his brains and brawn to pit the two families against one another, in the hope of gaining revenge for his brother's death, rescuing a young boy that they've kidnapped, and ultimately letting the two sides destroy one another.
The film's biggest asset is undoubtedly Tomas Milian. Milian was put to great use by Lenzi in almost all of his crime thrillers. The range of characters he has played for Lenzi is immense, and this one is easily one of the coolest. The character is called Rambo, which immediately sprang to mind the popular Sylvester Stallone character - but for once, the Italians actually haven't stolen this name as Syndicate Sadists was released first! As usual, the film is wickedly entertaining, as we get to watch Milian get himself involved in the usual array of car chases, shootouts and brawls. Lenzi has got him riding a motorbike this time round, and every scene featuring it and Milian is a real standout! However, the film often feels like it doesn't really have anywhere to go, and this means that the running time is stretched out more than it should be. Compared to the crime films of other Italian directors, Syndicate Sadists is more than above average; but in relation to Lenzi crime flicks such as Almost Human and The Cynic, The Rat and The Fist - it doesn't stand tall as one of Lenzi's best. Still, if you're looking for ninety minutes of testosterone fuelled mayhem - Syndicate Sadists will suffice!
无语，为什么老旧的危房充满鬼的房子不一把火烧了。。。既然不让人去那里，那就拆了啊。。干吗老是作死去探险，无语，
有点想法但是没拍好，还有什么时候乌漆麻黑的场景成鬼片标配了，亮一点是不吓人了吗？
有点乱，但是不失为一部有寂静岭风格的电影。6.9/10.
视觉上有点像昆池岩 整个没什么逻辑 有点故弄玄虚
想念智叔
老套的废弃大楼闹鬼为舞台，时间交错为内核，去猜男主在哪个节点死掉的
剧本不太行，乱七八糟的还故作高深。。。不过音效不错，氛围感挺好的！有几处jump scary还挺哈人的。
以为男主猛如虎，结果原是二百五。太无趣了，人鬼大战无聊到毫无新意就不说，连打斗方式也只是拿刀互捅，全员万圣节的鬼装也在气氛烘托上基本起不到作用。
我好久没看过这么差的港片了…这种卡司，这种故事，是认真的吗？好多情节和走向根本都没交代清楚啊，好差劲哦…
公平公正的机会
又是为Toma感到蛋疼的一回，但是好在终于finale做回了小巡查。以及，看了评论才意识到少看了第二集…
完结了啊....一口气刷完三部曲，兄弟太感动了啊
类似两个月亮，剪辑稍微弱了一些，但是氛围感很强，门的概念还是不错的，对于宗教元素的应用还是很强，剧本要是再强点就好了
感觉有一阵子没有看一个恐怖片让我这么紧张了，并且关于电影的很多细节值得推敲，包括时间线、死亡时间等等。但是豆瓣评分怎么这么低呢🥹
非常差的背景音乐，气氛，十分出戏。情节也不出彩，虽然结尾还挺燃。
自作聪明的反转白瞎了“时空旅行者与地缚灵”这个有点新意的想法。
故弄玄虚，本想复制昆池岩的成功，可惜画虎不成反类犬
男主真是出人意料的废……最后是妹妹也来了？
9月11日看9月10日的集体杀人事件，零点以后看完，拼凑出来的情节脉络让我稀里糊涂的
全程沉闷节奏一般老梗炒来炒去，氛围也营造的一般，不太喜欢。
