Murder-Set-Pieces UNCUT dvd review "banned version"

This movie is much maligned by critics and fans alike for it's extreme gore, anti-Semitic tone and abuse towards women.  The movie starts off right away with the following quote: "The Jews are not the men to be blamed for nothing" -Jack the Ripper, London England 1888; this is immediately followed by Nick Palumbo our director showing real clips of 9/11. It's all for shock value and in this writers opinion no relation to the former comment (IE- Nick is blaming 9/11 on the JEWS).
    Lets get into the movie shall we.  As the opening credits start to roll we're treated to a misogynist's wet dream a naked woman is tied to a torture chair, beaten and carved up, her nipple is ripped off, and the man behind it all starts taking pictures of her and speaking in German. The main character (actor Sven Garrett) holds a double life, he has a nice girlfriend  with a little sister that's suspicious of him, and his night life as a true psychotic serial killer of beautiful young women. In perhaps a dumb (and cliched move),  our main character's girlfriends little sister goes snooping around the upstairs of his house and happens upon a picture of Hitler with what looks like a General, our man Character finds her snooping and calmly states "that was my grandfather, he was a war hero during WW2 fighting the bad guys". The little girl looks at him and says "yea, but he was German.". It's in that exchange you can see his anger and hatred for America boil to an all time high.  
      In the ensuing scene, Sven (from here on i'll use his REAL NAME- just easy for both of us) he finds a young woman at the slots and he plucks in a "lucky quarter", it wins her a few bucks and soon were back at his studio as he taking pictures of her. Nothing becomes of it as he has a nosebleed and just lets her go. Our next scene everybody will love, our favorite "Chainsaw killer" has a cameo, Mr. Gunnar Hansen plays a gun dealing neo-nazi to Sven.  The next scene i thought was a rather let down in the film, Sven goes to the strip club, picks up two of the women brings them back to his hotel and tortures them. However the torture/sex scene is cut very short, all you see is him slapping and and punching one of the girls as his is giving it to her doggy style, once finished he walks into the bathroom and just wields his knife at the disfigured face of the first girl and kisses her; what the hell is that? I wanted to see more from Nick Palumbo in this scene, i needed to see how truly distubred this man (Sven) really was. 
       Another cameo appearance people! This time from the candy man himself: Tony Todd. He  is in a adult video store as a clerk as Sven walks in asking for a "snuff film" it is an inside joke because he is looking for "NUTBAG"  Nick Palumbo's first film.  As the scene progresses, Sven grabs Todd to kill him with a straight-razor, but before that can happen two masked men break into the place demanding cash. One of the masked men is Fred Vogul of Toe Tag Pictures fame. Sven saves the day by killing both men but then turns the gun on Todd killing him. 
         Our next scene would get any film banned... It is of sven again giving girl doggy style as she is chained up to a weight-bench as he beats her. For our next gore scene we have Sven driving nails through the wrists of a young woman who is again tied to that torture chair as she shits in a bucket, and he puts a noose around her neck. He also has a woman tied upside down who is bleeding and naked as he puts on a pigs mask on her face, he wraps chains and rope around her neck. Sven takes out dental appliances and starts to bite the women with his sharpened teeth. The next scene is pure and utterly sick, Nick Palumbo has Sven  hide in the bathroom of a local park as a little girl comes in and he stabs her to death, this is beyond terror. 
    The end climatic battle between Sven and the little sister end when she stabs him with a pair of scissors and knocks him out cold with a two by four, her sister is dead by his hands. She walks down a pebble road to escape.  You last see Sven get on a bus and take a liking to a new pretty girl across from him who he starts to take her picture.   The Credits roll....
