criticism

“In this dark story, the worst gore scenes are not skimpy, but 'UNTOLD STORY' is somehow clever and humorous. The laughter disappears at the latest when you kill your family, I've never seen such drastic child murders. All in all, 'UNTOLD STORY' is a first-class horror film that makes even the toughest gore fans like me sick . ”
Daniel J. Novak, Haikosfilmlexikon

“In any case, the stupid and completely unsuitable comedy interludes give a hefty point deduction, after which the crude gore and torture scenes, which undoubtedly make up the cult status of this flick, have to be compared with the personal moral framework. Either an interesting hardcore thriller of a different kind, a special experience or just a pure shit film ...? ”
