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!
观众对情色、恐怖电影打分一向苛刻。7月8日上线之前豆瓣评分7.9，心想恐怖片能有这个分数必定不错。看了预告片，感觉可以。上线下载好资源一看，内心毫无波动甚至想笑。剪辑碎，故事情节弱，恐怖片不恐怖先失败一半，然后装神弄鬼不知所云，浪费110分钟。所以说，看新片要谨慎。01:50:48，mp4，2.37G
别说什么根据2005年高雄一家六口中邪案改编了（影片内容也跟该案扯不上半点犊子关系），原新闻的起乩仪式及“通灵”后用法器“自残”的行为不比蠕虫、莲蓬头这些烂大街的玩意可怕多了。还是会继续相信台湾的民俗恐怖电影。[64]
咳咳。
伪纪录片，创造的真实，本质上还是伪，即使代入其中，也会很自然的跳出来，即使影片还没结束。期待很高，实际上并没有新的东西，反而让我觉得让小孩去参与这种影片太残忍，用恐怖片去纪念自己逝去的小孩真的好吗？何况还是以这样一个诅咒扩散稀释的形式，可怜人非要这样转移伤痛去减轻自己的负担，最终负罪心理受苦的还是自己。。。
个人倒是不太介意被恐怖片下咒，甚至觉得这个高概念是这部电影做得最出彩的地方（跳过了伪纪录片式的叙事层面的沉浸感，而制造出一种更为生理性的体验）。问题主要还是剪辑不太行，双线叙事很乱，导演的基础技法有待加强。
#Netflix# 整部电影捋下来张力是越来越弱的，前期多铺亲情，也是电影的内核，但与咒关联性低，导致割裂感。中途就“引爆了炸弹”，让咒在结局的张力基本就没有了，而后半段很多的解释也让影片更显得头重脚轻。这还只是故事上，镜头上就更碎了，为了推进故事蹦出来各种事物的视角镜头让影片叙事割裂感更强。（这种形式的解构宗教还蛮有意思）
7.2分，这部恐怖片至少没有让我失望，但也仅此而已。作为伪纪录片，某些画面明显出戏，很不成熟，剪辑给人一股凌乱感。但归根结底还是伪纪录片的黄金时代，《灵异咒》刚出的时候，许多人都以为是真的，但在《咒》这个时代，大家都已经知道是假的，伪纪录片以假乱真的初衷已经实现不了了。
现在的恐怖片都这德性嘛？这也太无聊了吧，一开始还想耐心看完，后面直接2倍速走起，只是无聊的想笑，故弄玄虚，浪费时间。抱歉，那个咒语我没有记住。
吓尿，后半段不敢全神贯注看，但还是被吓到了😭😭那个村庄很有《中邪》的气氛，虽然剧情承接有点问题，但是氛围拿捏得太到位了，感觉DV视角又玩出了新高度，再配合各类毛骨悚然的民俗恐怖设定，好牛逼啊啊啊
而且还利用了一些心理诱导和视觉残像的手法来和观众产生深度交互，
4v人被你诅咒就罢了现在还上网飞，全球多少人分摊诅咒？诅咒无效咯！！！！
由于害怕被下降头所以刷了太多手机导致没有看太懂
我不喜欢开头那种故意为了伪记录设计的那些东西，我真的不喜欢这样的结局。

是真的恐怖，伪纪录片式华语片让人极具代入感。一个人也要窝在家，熄灯拉窗帘，氛围感不要太好——硬是让我分了三个晚上才敢看完捂( ･⊝･∞)。
比较期待看闽南民俗的，但搞半天告诉我是个东南亚邪神还是有点失望😅 视觉残留的符咒设计别出心裁，可以说是本片最大亮点。至于晦气的部分，两个神秘学/剧作法老油条成功闪避了✌️
即便是小成本製作，也能利用設備自身的特質服務故事的氣質。令人意想不到的是，自動對焦也能成為恐怖視聽的一部分。
剧情、惊悚、人物设定全方位拉垮，狗屁恐怖片，看了一半就觉得晦气 @Netflix
(伪纪录片+“被迫互动”）式体验，故事其实比较清晰完整，叙事上却有些破碎混乱，伴生咒的过程很无聊，吓人桥段比较老套，反而是相遇咒、困于咒部分出奇的好看，民俗异事看的真过瘾，也许是内陆有关文化较为空白的原因，同时解密咒是影片的关键和反转之处，视觉上的强迫感让观众不得不紧盯屏幕，直至结尾竟然玩了一手午夜凶铃，很容易让人骂娘，总体来说很不错能给到三星半。
設定了一個含糊不清的宗教，卻硬是想把宗教的背景作為謎底，相當令人出戲。
