Umberto Lenzi is undoubtedly the king of Italian crime movies, but unfortunately; Syndicate Sadists is not the best examples of his work in this genre. Lenzi's crime flicks tend to be a cut above the rest because he makes films based on stories with a point, and they don't lack direction; but this film feels a bit too wayward to fully fit with the rest of his stuff. The film takes obvious influence from Sergio Leone's landmark western 'A Fistful of Dollars' (which in turn, took influence from Akira Kurosawa's landmark samurai flick Yojimbo), in that it features two warring families and a strong character at the centre. The crime that Lenzi focuses on is kidnapping, and we centre on a character called 'Rambo'. Rambo is dragged into the war between the two families after his brother is killed because of it. Rambo uses his brains and brawn to pit the two families against one another, in the hope of gaining revenge for his brother's death, rescuing a young boy that they've kidnapped, and ultimately letting the two sides destroy one another.
The film's biggest asset is undoubtedly Tomas Milian. Milian was put to great use by Lenzi in almost all of his crime thrillers. The range of characters he has played for Lenzi is immense, and this one is easily one of the coolest. The character is called Rambo, which immediately sprang to mind the popular Sylvester Stallone character - but for once, the Italians actually haven't stolen this name as Syndicate Sadists was released first! As usual, the film is wickedly entertaining, as we get to watch Milian get himself involved in the usual array of car chases, shootouts and brawls. Lenzi has got him riding a motorbike this time round, and every scene featuring it and Milian is a real standout! However, the film often feels like it doesn't really have anywhere to go, and this means that the running time is stretched out more than it should be. Compared to the crime films of other Italian directors, Syndicate Sadists is more than above average; but in relation to Lenzi crime flicks such as Almost Human and The Cynic, The Rat and The Fist - it doesn't stand tall as one of Lenzi's best. Still, if you're looking for ninety minutes of testosterone fuelled mayhem - Syndicate Sadists will suffice!
这也就是拍电影，以朱迪科默那身装备（垃圾袋防护服，一次性手套及N95口罩），无数次密接新冠患者，早已被感染了，前面部分拍的很真实啊，结尾她带托尼“逃出”护理院有一点戏剧化的拔高，为了质疑，结尾那几句质疑，这要在我们国家得被拍死了。
作为恐怖片挺成功的，这是一部和观众互动的恐怖片，女主在把观众引入和她身临同境的处境里，导演不过是把古早的“看到不转发到X个群就会XX”的梗融入到电影了。贯穿电影始终的那句让你跟着念的八字咒语“火佛修一，心萨呒哞”不过是「福祸相倚，生死有名」的闽南语谐音。看到评论区骂骂咧咧的大伙儿，感慨在唯物主义无神论下长大的吾辈迷信起来竟是比封建社会的古人有过之而无不及！
自以为聪明的设定，但其实很low！我再补充一下，晦气是骂得最轻的。剪辑烂，融梗，时间线乱，演员演技差，晃得头晕的镜头，明知自己身边的人都死了，明知诅咒的存在，还是自私的要孩子待在身边以及非要拍DV，以及不断害死真正想帮她的人，这狗屁不通的逻辑。大家怎么不骂贞子，不骂厉鬼将映，就唯独骂这个？你们还夸，就算没有最后的诅咒观众，也是低分烂片！
观影全程不害怕，看完了去刷牙发现牙龈出血，下意识去摸牙时到真给我吓一跳。
看到一半就觉得这实在太克了，不可名状的上古邪神；接近真神后陷入癫狂自毁的状态；而最后的镜头简直克总发糖。很惊喜，虽然小说领域不乏优秀作品，但作为电影把亚州民俗文化和克系恐怖结合起来这应该是第一次……吧？
当我们在歌颂时其他国家还有在拍社会救援挤兑所带来的人性探讨，诚然歌颂是应该的毕竟很多人在去年疫情期间付出巨大，但歌颂时的另一面：人性和悲悯，也值得去直面，微小个体在乱如草台的政策下看似错误的手段也同样值得被尊敬，只要出发点是善的。我们何时能看到自己拍摄出阳光下的另一面。
太牛逼了，可以说是我心中近些年亚洲恐怖片第一
导演的小天使：我也TMD谢谢你。 这滥用的、无所不在的、难以说服人的伪纪录片式的镜头，不就是抖音摆拍吗？反倒削减了真实感和沉浸感。所以到底哪里恐怖了？只会让人出戏和笑场。
他们说 要看完再评价
我说有的人真难伺候，没来之前哭着嚎着说要看，来了又指责太真太晦气，嫌晦气看什么恐怖片啊你去看主旋律啊？
『 8.0 “科学解释”-外星陨石辐射，因为诅咒观众嫌晦气打低分的纯纯..，最后那段翻译咒语，突然变白“视觉残留”非常有意思，“母爱”就是除了自己孩子谁都可以咒死（虽然我也没电影院看，但肯定感觉不一样甚至能拉回很多差评）』
突然很怀念传统的斗鬼、斗法的恐怖片，或是正儿八经叙事的心理恐怖片，对这种伪民俗、伪纪录的恐怖片实在接受不来，表演、镜头都是虚张声势，除了一些瘆人的画面，故事通常都圆不明白。
镜头不停地没逻辑切换实在令人看得又晕又烦躁，伪纪录片的形式不是不能用，但真的不要滥用，基本上又是个作死+献祭+亲情的故事，被说晦气的形式恰恰就是优于《灵媒》的优点，《灵媒》缺的就是这种联结感。民俗元素成了近几年台湾恐怖片的加分项，玩得越来越溜了。真心地说，华语恐怖片还得靠台湾。
由于惯性拉高心理防线，导致铺陈、惊悚对我来说似乎都无效用，非常淡定的看完了全片并且睡了个好觉。
比预期中稍好一点，伪纪录片形式几乎从来没有令人信服过（密集飘忽、莫名其妙的机位和媒介变化，遗传到摄影天赋的小女孩，无源的景别调整与正反打……简直比《灵媒》还要严重），但剧作上对结构和人物动机的处理为电影增加了一条隐蔽的暗线，也令它形式的拙劣变得稍微可以原谅了一些。然而，导演不肯真正将署名权出让给角色，再加上佛母露脸之后又一次画蛇添足的设计，导致影片剧本上的巧思全都化作徒劳。如果将电影理解为主角为了传播而拍摄的蹩脚“真·伪纪录片”（当然，这在伪纪录片领域也早就不新奇了）、一部纯meta found footage，那主角在美术和特效上的造诣可真是高得过头了，为了救女儿，她六年下来怕是没少下功夫吧……
如果晦气＝恐怖的话，那这电影确实算恐怖的，但我仍然对这种给观众下咒的方式喜欢不起来…说像《午夜凶铃》等的，我想说，你看这些的时候，人家一开始就告诉你这是一带诅咒的，意思是你可以选择性观看…而这电影是你看完之后告诉你"我拍来就是为了让你们分担痛苦的煞笔们！"…我看完真心只想问候导演编剧甚至整个剧组… 作为一个恐怖片爱好者，我对神明等人界以外的一切都是秉承着"互不侵犯"的原则，所以对于这电影的把观众玩弄的做法我很是看不上，只想把诅咒反弹……恶意恶灵均退散🤺🤺🤺
为何无聊 不可故弄玄虚
毫无疑问是近年最好的民俗恐怖之一，结果此地网络的最高评价是晦气，嗯。
佛母这类恶灵。在今天应该也会选择在抖音上传播吧
