This film is seriously disturbed. It is also seriously sleazy. In fact, Viggo Mortensen saw this at a festival, while he was shooting Lord of the Rings. He said it was the most disgusting film that he has ever seen. High praise indeed! I have never been able to get this sleazefest out of my mind.

I am surprised that there have not been more people commenting on this film. I give a big 'respect' to Ant Timpson for bringing films like these to our shores. They always outrage the moral minority. In fact, when the sinful dwarf...ahem...harresses one of the female slaves. This scene was actually cut by the censorship board. So Timpson, using his twisted imagination used a blow up doll as the female victim. Timpson or someone else assumed the part of the sinful dwarf. The banned scene was then reenacted. It was hilarious! Adding even more to the carnival atmosphere that is the incredibly strange/incredible film festival.

The story is just so sleazy. A dwarf and his drunken cabaret mother, who cannot sing, store women who stay at their hotel in the attic. They operate a white slave trade. keeping them addicted to heroin to stop them running away. Meanwhile a young couple stays at the hotel. Listen, if I saw a creepy little man and his mother, who puts on enough make-up to embarrass drag queens, I would instantly run. You would certainly not stay there.

Anyway the couple stay there and after a gratuitous sex scene she disappears. The husband hunts for her only to find...

Needless to say this all ends in a bloodbath. If you are really masochistic you should watch this with the infamous Bloodsucking Freaks. It is like they were both made by the same person. Both are dirty and grimy. Filmed on budgets of about 2 dollars. Both have bad acting. One image form this film that stays with me is that of the dwarf, who seems like has has to make a real effort not to drool, in a toy store holding a toy truck. Even this somehow still manages to look sleazy. It is like you would have to wipe anything that he touches. In fact, I felt like I needed a shower after seeing this.

If you like watching horrible obscurities then I recommend this film. If you like pure sleaze, see this. I'll give it a six out of 10.

Saw this film on satellite TV a few weeks ago after a late night out. Terrible filming, even worse sound and non-existent storyline, but a gem of trash cinema! Olaf the Dwarf is the undisputed star, surely he must have been an inspiration for Chucky? It is difficult to watch in places, especially the scene where Olaf rapes Mary, Anne Sparrow who played her is the only other person to emerge from the movie with anything like credit, you really feel for her as she realises what she has stumbled into and are hoping that she manages to get out of it and back to her husband. Even if he is a real dork! But if you like your trash you'll be in heaven!

Thank you Something Weird Video! Thank you for rescuing this dirty little gem. The man who invented dwarfsploitation should be in Heaven. "The Sinful Dwarf" starts with some bizarre images and music and ends the same way. This movie is obviously extreme low budget but that's what makes it disturbing. Also, this is the perfect example of exploitation. Here, the dwarf does EVERYTHING. It's like a freak show turned into a Horror movie.

This Olaf. Our star. What a guy. He likes to stab teddy bears (oh but for criminal purposes), whack innocent girls , and even has time for a little voyeurism.

Our dirty little friend has a weird behavior that even makes their guests feel uncomfortable. His depraved smile makes him look more menacing. So does his accent (love the way he pronounces "finishes"). He and his alcoholic mother run a prostitution net, oh, and they consume and use heroin for criminal purposes... and that's all you need to know. Relax, sit down, and watch this movie with low expectations. You might feel amused. It's like going to a depraved circus.

One of the best features of the movie is the fact that Olaf is creepy. Not because of his physical features, but because of his behavior. He's an effective villain.

Also, the steamy sex scene between the main couple deserves especial mention. It's pretty good and damn long. The blonde woman is very hot and has some acting skills.

I won't get into details of the movie because it obviously does not follow strictly a plot. The producers thought that it was enough to show a dwarf drugging and torturing woman. What else do you need? The movie is poorly directed, written, and acted. But I guess that those elements make it a delight to watch for fans of the bizarre. The movie is creepy itself because of the weirdness of the events. The gore is minimal but works for the movie's purpose. The movie is boring at some points because it goes nowhere; there are scenes of tortured girls followed immediately by scenes of Olaf just hanging around, then scenes with his mother talking crap, and then the couple having breakfast... a little continuity wouldn't harm. We even get two really bizarre musical acts where Olaf plays the piano and his mother sings. Damn weirdness. But I gotta admit that the mother is a hell of a good dancer. I can say that this movie will not please any Horror fan as there isn't an interesting plot or the scare factor is absent.

"The Sinful Dwarf" is a piece of bizarre film making for fans of exploitation in all aspects. The best way to describe the movie is where Olaf and his mother tie and struggle with the main female character while an obviously intoxicated victim watches in awe and fun, with horrible 70's music on the background. That scene sums all the movie.

The ending left a lot to desire. They could at least used a more believable dummy to throw from the window. Still, we get a happy ending. Do yourself a favor and get this movie. It won't let you down. Olaf is a great entertainer.
