20 Most Insanely Depraved Movie Moments From The Video Nasty Era

Ruggero Deodato's follow-up to his exploitative masterpiece, Cannibal Holocaust, sets out its stall early with the film’s opening sequence, during which the psychotic Alex (David Hess making another appearance on the list) cuts off a young woman’s car before entering the vehicle and strangling her unconscious as he rapes her.

Later, back at the garage where he works, Alex and his mentally-challenged friend Ricky (Giovanni Lombardo Radice) are getting ready to “boogie” after a young couple invites them to a party. Once there, things go left when Alex decides to amuse himself by tormenting the guests.

One guest, Cindy, a local teenage girl, gets it particularly bad. Alex cuts Cindy's blouse off with his trusty straight-edged razor while singing. He then proceeds to savagely slash her nude body with his razor over and over again.  At this point, Ricky makes the astonishing observation that things are getting a little out of hand and attempts to stop Alex. Upset at being "betrayed" by his friend, Alex turns against Ricky and slashes his abdomen wide open. It's true what they say, these psychopaths ain't loyal.
