It is not "good" by conventional standards. The acting is wooden one second and over-the-top the next. The camera work induces motion sickness.

Final Verdict For collectors, media archaeologists, and fans of Brazilian underground cinema, tracking down Sombra Filmes Caseiros Vol 14 - Onze Homens E Um Casa is a rite of passage.
