Torben Bille stars as the pint-sized pervert who imprisons drugged teenage sex slaves in the attic of his drunken mother's decrepit rooming house... and that's just the first ten minutes! (Severin Films)

The Sinful Dwarf is a cute, perverted guilty pleasure. The only fault to find here is the overacting and inane dialogue. Otherwise, it is a proud euro trash masterpiece of a B-movie. Don’t expect much blood or gore; there are no murders. The Sinful Dwarf (the character, not the film) is not evil. He’s just perverted. All he wants is nudity, sex and depravity. The uncut version contains a few minutes of pure porn shots with a very different coloring, which sticks out like a sore thumb but, on the other hand, lends the movie the unique charm of unscrupulous exploitation smut, made more interesting by the poetics of childish innocence in the form of mechanical toys. Irresistible.

This is the movie where you were expecting a disgusting Nordic exploitation B-movie but then found yourself watching a procedural drama about walking upstairs, picking up door stops, and taking off socks (and the extremely stupid plot had suddenly been stretched out for 95 minutes). While watching the movie, I was feeling utterly sorry for Torben Bille - there were a lot of stairs he had to climb on crutches during the making of it. However, in order to not just speak ill of it, in many of the excruciatingly extended erotic scenes, for some reason I started recalling the "amazing" time spent watching Blood Sucking Freaks. And I certainly will never forget the absolutely captivating opening title sequence with that totally insane theme music (I mean like it was really, REALLY bizarre). I can still hear the jingling of toys in my head!

The film gives a slightly surreal impression, yet there is a basic storyline present. It comes across as light erotica, but then suddenly there's cruelty shown as well as being more focused on a few hardcore shots. Only a few, but it's enough. This is not a film for everyone, but if you've seen it, it will definitely leave an impression on you. It is about human cruelty and it is explicitly presented.
