The House On The Edge Of The Park




Deodato's film has been criticized for depicting rape victims enjoying (and indeed getting "turned on" by) their ordeal, and its prurient close-ups of the mutilation of a helpless, sobbing young woman by a sneering, sadistic Hess.

''The House On The Edge Of The Park'' was released on video in the UK by Skyline in the early 1980s, but this uncut release was banned for several years, having previously been rejected a cinema certificate by the BBFC. The most complete version of the film currently legally available in England is trimmed by almost eleven minutes.
