If you like seeing people brutally murdered, then this film is for you. Otherwise...avoid it.
The story begins with a high stakes poker game. Callum seems so certain he'll win a hand that he offers his British mansion. His bid is accepted...and Callum soon loses. Considering he only had a pair of 7s, it sure seems as if he was trying to lose...and through the course of the movie, this appears to be the case.
Soon all sorts of jerks show up at this mansion and one by one, they are murdered brutally by a guy who looks like a live joker from a deck of cards. Some of it is mildly amusing...but considering you are supposed to laugh at people being mutilated, after a while I felt dirty watching it and just turned it off. Life is too short to watch violent AND horribly made films.
About the only positives I can say about the film is the joker costume and makeup are very good for a super low budgeted movie. Otherwise, it's artless and cruel.
By the way, although he received second billing, Christopher Lee apparently did all his filming in one day. Perhaps this is why he agreed to be in this sort of production.
