Grim, amateurish little torture porn bauble set in a Vilnius tattoo parlor, only slightly elevated by a menacing performance from Robert LaSardo as "The Artist." He's the only thing worth watching here, despite the lovely location, which this film wastes. The other performances are so appalling and the dialogue so unimaginative that it's hard to tell how much of it was improvised -- on one hand, I can't imagine anyone writing this garbage out and thinking, "Yeah, that sounds right;" on the other, all the characters (The Artist excepted) sound exactly alike, even with multiple accents, each as aggressively unlikable and inarticulate as the next. A film called "Anarchy Parlor" might reasonably be expected to deliver some inkling of wild imagination, some hint that the filmmakers understand transgression. This predictable, mundane mess fails to deliver.

This is no Hostel for a start! If you are after gore, you really won't get any and you REALLY won't care about the characters.There isn't really a plot, other than a pale attempt at making a copy of Hostel without the extremism.We have an odd mix of American and British 'no-ones' visiting Lithuania -we know *nothing* about these people throughout the film. People just constantly shout, become violent and have sex for no reason - there is no reason or realism and the plot is no clearer.This reminded me of a HG Lewis film - with a couple of unemotional gore effects that look like they are from Blood Feast/The 60's.The only good thing I can say is the main tattoo bloke with the beard had some presence.

Robert LaSardo could have relied on his obvious physicality to coast through this role in the new film "Anarchy Parlor". But, then again, a man with acting chops like LaSardo needn't rely on anything else but his talent and an intriguing script. Playing the lead character in "Anarchy Parlor", he delivers a captivating, creepy performance; which even has a sense of a lovelorn poet behind the shamanic tale of the artistry behind the Artist.LaSardo's performance had a tranquil power to it, as he exuded caution rather than chaos. Calmness of the Artist was a refreshing comparison to the chaotic frenzy of an archetypal villain. For "Anarchy Parlor", chaos came in the shapely beauty of Sara Fabel; whose snickering, snarling and striking character of Uta almost stole the show from LaSardo. (Well, almost) While his performance was like a scalpel of precision, Sara Fabel's was like an untamed hellcat with fingernails like razors of scary seduction. Like a breakthrough performance of a Vadim vixen or a Bond bad-girl, Sara Fabel truly raises the stakes as a lusty updated Igor assisting in the Artist's work. Another character, Amy (played by Tiffany DeMarco), as the young American on vacation, was very impressive in her symbiotic interaction with the Artist (played by Robert LaSardo). It was a plot point in "Anarchy Parlor" which gave a glint of Svengali-like relationship between the two of them. The overall plot is about six young people in Lithuania on vacation. The character Brock (Ben Whalen) is invited to the parlor by Uta (Sara Fabel). Amy (Tiffany DeMarco) decides to tag along. From there, the mystery and misery of entering the world of the Artist at The Parlor begins to unwind before your eyes. Shot on location in Villnus, "Anarchy Parlor" has a nice production quality. Edd Lukas' cinematography is a vivid postcard of Lithuania. Andrew Pagana's painted portraits in this film are surrealistic and bring The Artist's world to life. Vivianne Be and Adrianna Krikl's music are a grooving compliment to the action on the screen. In this review, I save the best for last. The collaborative team of Devon Downs and Kevin Gage are the driving force behind "Anarchy Parlor". Gage/Downs have taken what could have been just another mindless splatter-fest to another level. Oh, don't get me wrong. Of course there's blood, babes and chills in "Anarchy Parlor" which makes anyone who enjoys horror gasp and slightly jump in their seats. But, in this film, there actually is something more. Gage/Downs' script which Robert LaSardo's character of the Artist delivers shows multi-layers of history, mystery and sense of place, for exactly what's going inside of this seemingly, ordinary tattoo parlor along an unmarked side-street in Lithuania. Devon Downs and Kenny Gage are a creative team bringing a new flavor and vigor to indie cinema on the cutting edge. Their film, "Anarchy Parlor" is a shot of adrenalin in the horror/suspense film genre. If the sight of blood leaves you queasy; or the thought of that tattoo needle nicking your flesh leaves your mind and soul uneasy – then stay far, far away from the "Parlor". But, if you want to be scared and your get your pulse pounding, then "Anarchy Parlor" will scratch your horror itch. The Artist and Uta are awaiting any disrespecting, clueless son-of-a-bitch.

Plenty of exotic location and culture to explore, yet Anarchy Parlor still ends up with typical dumb college kids encounter with danger as its main plot. There are so few of likable characters as they are spewing profanities as replacement for acting, these guys are true representative of swag generation. Thankfully, the lead Robert LaSardo is physically and verbally convincing. Fans of the genre might find the gore very uniquely adequate, the shameless fanservice nudity is surprisingly good as well.Set in Lithuania, a group of dumb college kids fornicate and party a lot until they happen to stumble on a tattoo parlor. The Artist (Robert LaSardo) is strange yet philosophically suave, unbeknownst to them he also harbors a sinister secret. Fans might recognize this set-up from Hostel, and to be frank, there's not much else here. Aside from The Artist himself, the rest of characters are tediously uncharismatic.Script is filled with curse word as though the movie tries to set a record of cursing per minute. At times these guys and girls make decisions so horrible it's mind-boggling they are not shanked by random people yet. Not to mention one particular girl screamed so unbelievably annoying, I rooted for the bad guy to finish her and end my misery. It's not an understatement that the characters are mirror image of Jersey Shore cast.What separate Anarchy Parlor are the detailed bloody sequences it presents. Make-up and practical effect like the blood work are disgustingly good down to all the nasty bits. It's not the typical slasher flick mayhem, but a lot more of solemn cutting action, the movie revels in it. There are also tons of sex scene and nudity, which are honestly good. This might just be the level of softcore production value. I guess that merits more point in rating.As the screenplay is lackluster, a decent performance by the lead doesn't negate the rest of the loud bickering, it's quite hard to recommend this to casual audience. Furthermore, the gore is exclusively sickening. Anarchy Parlor is designed especially for horror fans only, the rest needs not enter.
