Our take

Joe Dallesandro, former muse to Andy Warhol, leads this exploitation chamber piece (alternatively titled Madness in North America) that is as volatile and horrifying as they come. Armed with peculiar rhythms and atmosphere, Vacation Massacre retains all of its power to unnerve even 40 years later.
