Ugh.  In the vain of Last House on the Left (and actually starring the guy who played "Krug" in that movie!) comes The House on the Edge of the Park.  Catchy title.  So, we have a sadistic psycho grease monkey named Alex who likes to rape women.  He's joined by his sidekick Ricky who looks like a retarded Peyton Manning.  The boys are about to "boogie" the night away when a couple of wealthy socialites stop in the garage to fix their car.  Alex doesn't want to do it, but he and Ricky end up fixing the car and accepting an invitation to the socialite's party. 
 
So these two hoodlums show up at the fancy house out in New Jersey somewhere, where all sorts of early 80s high society stereotypes are hanging out.  The party quickly turns ugly as the rich folk mock the not-so-bright Ricky, and take all his money in some poker games.  Then things get uglier as Alex has had enough and turns to violence and torture and rape, which was probably his intentions from the start.  How 2 guys keep 5 people hostages for so long with nothing more than a straight razor, I'll never know.  Anyway, push comes to shove, and the party gets even uglier.
 
A pointless film, and not well done.  The acting is ok, but the plot is ridiculous (especially the ending) and it's just uninteresting and slow.  Yeah, there's some torture scenes, and plenty of nudity and rape... but there's no real weight to it.  I don't know... it just didn't do much for me.
