Deadly depressing but infamously perverse film which features an ex-Nazi, confined to an iron lung, trying to kill himself and botching it. His wife is fed up and wants to leave him and Spain for her native Germany, when a man appears at the door and announces that he is taking over the man's nursing. We soon learn that this young fellow is quite deranged - he was a victim of the Nazi during the war and he knows that the Nazi has been abducting and killing young boys. The nurse captures boys and tortures them for the pleasure of himself and the Nazi. In A Glass Cage is a powerfully disturbing movie and the viewer should use extreme discretion when they are watching it. It is a serious and non-exploitative movie, which makes it even more shocking - the film looks great, has high production values, the acting is good and the lighting in particular is to be commended.
My first film watched was Carrie aged 2 on my dad's knee. Educated at The University of St Andrews and Trinity College Dublin. Fan of Arthouse, Exploitation, Horror, Euro Trash, Giallo, New French Extremism. Weaned at the bosom of a Russ Meyer starlet. The bleaker, artier or sleazier the better!
