Movie Reviews of In a Glass Cage
Movie Review: Psychological horror way too dark too fathom
Summary: 4 Stars
If IN A GLASS CAGE was a simple revenge flick, it would offer a small glimmer of hope for the viewer to cling to. No such luck here. For those wanting to sink down to the lowest level of human atrocities, this is your movie. An absolutely horrible glimpse at the total decay of human decency.
It's the story of Klaus, an ex-Nazi pedophile who momentarily became overwhelmed by guilt and attempted suicide. His effort failed, but he was left paralyzed from the neck down. Then he was placed on life support and confined to an Iron Lung, or glass cage.
Then the real horror begins.
A handsome young nurse named Angelo is hired to care for Klaus. And yep, you guessed it, the two have met before.
So now it's payback time, right? Angelo has plans to abuse his past tormentor? If only it was that easy.
"Horror, like sin, can be fascinating."
That quote is from Klaus. Unfortunately, Angelo knows this all too well. It is utterly disturbing to contemplate an evil that is so demoralizing. One that will vaporize all hope. A dark power that will overwhelm your senses, paralyze your mind, and control the very fiber of your being.
This is one sick movie. It has unsettling images of child abuse, homosexuality, pedophilia, murder, and torture. But the most bothersome part of this story is the mental aspect. Many will shrug this off and dismiss the events as ridiculous. Hey, what ever helps you cope.
Watch this with extreme caution.
Summary of In a Glass Cage
Klaus (Gunter Meisner of THE BOYS OF BRAZIL) is an ex-Nazi, a doctor whose war-time post in a concentration camp enabled him to commit the most appalling sex crimes against boys. After the war, living incognito in Spain, he again gives in to his depraved desires, until shame and despair drive him to an unsuccessful suicide attempt...Now confined to his room and kept alive on an iron lung, he is ministered to by his resentful wife Griselda (Marisa Paredes of ALL ABOUT MY MOTHER) and her daughter Rena (Gisela Echevarria). Into this environment comes Angelo (David Sust), a strange, handsome young man who offers his services as a nurse. Against Griselda's judgement, Klaus insists that the visitor be allowed to take the post.
A perverse relationship develops between Angelo and Klaus, becoming ever more macabre as Angelo reveals he has found diaries detailing his employer's war-time activities. Words turn to deeds, Klaus's shame turns once again to desire, and a new spate of child killings begin...
Described by filmmaker John Waters as more intense than Pier Paolo Pasolini's SALO.
