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!
由食人之猎人而变的怪物，卢卡斯的瘾君子父亲，对女主怀有贪婪之欲望的父亲，三位一体式的宗教寓言，共同构成了影片中那一永无满足之饥饿与贪婪的原罪。
视觉表达和氛围营造还不错。剧本差了点，几分钟就能说清楚，父亲附体、异变、老师绝杀。鹿版异形？
从未像这样期待一部电影，从预告片上映，到啃英文原版中篇，然后到看强迫自己看恐怖片练胆，再到不停寻找资源。今天终于看完了，我只能说真的没有失望。作为一部恐怖片，摄影与气氛的营造做得很好，最后的彩蛋(?)也很增色。豆瓣评分是别人的事情，雨我无瓜。
氛围很好，就是实在太简单了，更适合拍成一集剧的体量，或者短片。
虎頭蛇尾吧 開頭其實蠻好的 氣氛營造的好 越到後面就覺得可惜了
恐怖片惊悚片最核心的意义就是要让观众身临其境，但不管是这个莫名其妙的东西的出现，还是剧中人物的行为逻辑，都幼稚且脸谱化得可怕，这种降智让人无法相信这是个会发生在正常世界的故事，一旦观众出戏，再恐怖再感动的场景也只会让人觉得虚假。
完美的渲染，服化道 声乐音效无敌棒！
浪费这个克苏鲁的设定，拍的啥啊，前面二十分钟就感觉故事走向了
第三幕完全垮掉了，不止烂俗而且处理的异常随意。前面的双线叙事处理的尚可，一边是逐渐揭开谜底的限制性叙事，该有的氛围是做到了，另一边则是对观众的全知视点展示，戏剧反讽的张力也有，反而是结尾最常见的“异形”与人的冲突处理的最为失败。5.5/10
差一口气，以神话传说出发，想要融合家暴元素，但是最后只给出来拼凑。不过全片氛围感极好！破败城市，枯枝树林，迷雾小镇，在镜头里充满了诡谲迷人的味道。其实最后怪兽像面具一样那个特写还挺有震撼力。
本来行动迅速灵活无比干掉无数男人，见到个女人变成木偶了，随便捅。
整体的基调也是慢悠悠的，看着就很想睡觉，最后女老师大战boss也是有点离谱。
就算是小学女教师单挑怪物，片子无聊就是无聊。倒是片中小镇风景如画。
和小青一起看。邪恶力量里面的windigo不吓人actually。
好无聊我的天！！被无聊到震撼了，预告片比正片好看百倍，甚至可以说正片把预告毁了
……..预告片好有气氛的样子，可是正片实在太无聊太无聊了……
美国恐怖片热衷于诡异的怪物特效和茹毛饮血的恐怖元素，难以理解，看到那种10年前的特效真的很难害怕
太过于珍惜鹿魔的形象设置，迟迟不肯正面呈现，试图在最后一刻给观众以有效的视觉冲击，可惜由于本身的设置并非多么震撼，这么做既无法给到观众应有的刺激又失去了前期恐怖氛围的营造。剧本漏洞颇多，想当然的部分也很多。牺牲品可以被一击毙命，主角们则可以化险为夷，轻松反杀，这种水平的剧本实在是令人嫌恶。｜4.0
R级恐怖片《鹿角》好吧…之前我可是很期待的！结果看完正片后感觉，真的一般了点，我承认，有些镜头和桥段确实挺R级的…但是也就仅限于此了吧！剧情逻辑性上还是有很大问题的…怪物的来源居然是神话传说…怎么了，袭击了人类就开始传染了？一个接一个的传播？最后女主大战鹿角怪，结果呢？草草了事…就简单的划了两下就解决了？他儿子还来了个补刀…哎…我真的也是无力吐槽了！总体看下来就是…失望啊！唯一不错的地方，让我觉得居然是此片的一些风光景色，确实是挺美的！美国偏僻小镇，人少地多，风光秀美，再来个神话怪物？好吧…也就这样了吧！（看来女主小时候也有不堪回首的童年啊！）（最后还留了个小尾巴…算了，还是别拍续集了吧）
