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!
前半段很厌男，后30分钟是个啥？？导演真的很喜欢他的“湮灭”风
看未来罪行觉得没看到什么东西的人，一定不要错过这部。之前看开拓者很生气。现在我觉得也许我误解了加兰？也许他就是想呈现所谓弥赛亚的自私和自大呢？？？女主看到了“我不想剧透”的那一幕惊悚场景之后，她竟然就平静了，甚至有点可怜那一套东西。加兰对音乐的运用也是服气的，这里面的四个音符和湮灭里的惊悚音乐，这辈子都忘不了了。女主演之前的我想结束这一切也很好，还有一个关于女性内心暴力的电影，好像叫野兽还是什么。这个女演员真的赞。看到一些评论试图用女权不女权来解读这个电影，但是显然某些人也根本不知道女权是什么。国内的男性还是停留在女权就是女人想得到更多好处更多保护。当然这也没错。但是不止于此。就如使女的故事，第四季的主题是以牙还牙以眼还眼，想了解女权的男性应该看看。
凡是女子同一命运，凡是男子同一张脸。父权制不断生育同一种怪物（让我想起一本子孙后代继承父辈头盖骨最后连成一条“头盖骨蜈蚣”的漫画作品），亲爱的你手上那把斧头准备砍向何处？最后朋友的孕肚和女主的笑容——A24真的太他妈敢拍了。
谁都知道波兰斯基加塔可夫斯基会很牛逼，那也得有人家的节奏和深度啊......
导演用充满暗寓、极致饱满的艺术表现手法、精致的构图、色彩设计，来表达社会里男人对女人的种种伤害——真是用心了。
A24真是打情色擦边球和拍心理惊悚的邪典热衷者，这部不论细节，主旨隐喻很容易看出来，因此诡异程度没那么深，部分场景确实观感极度不适，各种部位生出下一个男人真是恶心至极，但男人生孩子真是期待一波～

摄影很赞，够诡异，“男人”典型英国佬相，够怪异！一开始就知道，是心魔作祟！导演是不是种族歧视派？贬低黑人非要得到白人的爱，不然就自杀的低级人格！
男主演员选的好好，长相很普通 可以变成任何角色 直到小男孩和神父那里我才看出来…里面所有的恐惧都是最最真实的女性日常面对的恐惧 结尾高潮部分非常精彩
还有海报中这段“空谷回声”。
黑叶芝黑到位了，看的人人版被剪了不少只能靠脑补，高饱和的环境色很容易联想到《湮灭》
3.5星，反gaslighting教科书，女主真的很适合演这种小成本惊悚片，外表脆弱但是眼神倔强，姐妹们看到了吗不要被任何人洗脑你就是你生命的主宰
最后的男生男连环生子真是太凶残了，代入女主视角真是又好笑又离谱的程度。
这个社会上 当女性是受害者，全体女性都是受害者。当女性是施暴者时，她一定程度上也是受害者。而当男性是受害者时，根本没有受害者，男性是施暴者时，全体男性都是施暴者。
有点《逃出绝命镇》的感觉，一村的人仿佛都不太正常。
掉落的苹果 漫长的隧道回声
差点吐了。导演牛逼。这种又恶心又怪又疼又能共情到的感觉真的太久没有过了。
这两年很流行这种类型的恐怖片，美轮美奂的风景镜头+迷幻的音乐+离奇夸张的符号隐喻，营造出一种梦境般的割裂。最后的连环生子还挺恶心的。远离男人，不然男人死也不会放过你的。
用电影这种形式展示这世界真是无处不在虫南对女人的恶意，配乐和最后诡异的半个小时真是不错，同时除了那个小孩，仅用一个男演员来塑造小镇上所有的男性，正可谓天下乌鸦一般黑
和妈妈一起看的，皆感慨脚先出来的繁衍想象力
