Review:
**Warning**
This movie is NOT for everyone. It is a wannabe snuff film. It is very violent and really has no plot besides killing people. This is why it is going in a special category review, specifically for "Hurly's" movies. The only title I know it by is The Last House on Dead End Street, but this is a cut version, much less intense than the other, longer, versions. It is a movie about a guy who makes snuff films. I like the movie, but once again, I am a little demented when it comes to horror movies.

But anyways, The Cuckoo Clocks of Hell is supposed to be the full length version. The movie was made to be 175 minutes, released in 1973, but retracted because it was too gruesome, and rereleased as The Last House on Dead End Street in 1977, cut down to only 77 minutes. Unfortunately, I don't think it is longer possible to find the version The Cuckoo Clocks of Hell. The plot in The Last House on Dead End Street might not make much sense when you watch it, well, because it is less than ½ the movie it was intended to be. So, the plot is a little sketchy, but I don't think the original really had much of a plot to begin with. The cut version, being very much pieced together, created rumors that the movie really was a snuff film, and was sold underground. But rumors die hard, even after the DVD release.

This movie is banned in Canada (Ontario) and Australia.

But please, don't watch this movie unless you are into movies like, Cannibal Holocaust, and Guinea Pig.
