Arrow Video visits the MADHOUSE (Review)

From Ovidio G. Assonitis, the rip-off maestro who brought you BEYOND THE DOOR and TENTACLES comes this atypical take on the slasher genre.  Julia have lived in fear of her evil twin sister Mary since they were children.  Now Mary is lying in the hospital as an invalid with a skin disease that has hideously disfigured her.  When Mary breaks free of the hospital, Julia's friends start getting killed as someone plans a very special birthday for the twins.
