The tenants of a rundown Bronx apartment building are under attack by a gang of junkie punkos whom they had hauled out of the basement where they were hanging out with their stock-piled guns and drugs. As certain occupants fall prey to the vicious thugs, the others - all trapped on the fourth floor - attempt to fight them off...
"Tenement" is very straight-forward and loaded with mean-spirited violence and mayhem. Ya got gruesome stabbings, rat poison injections and the grisly vaginal broom handle violation of a beaten and raped mother, just to name a few. The majority is done in a purely self-indulgent and unapologetic manner, which I could definitely see offending some of the more 'casual' viewers. Personally, I dug this flick a LOT and would recommend it to anyone with an appetite for crude and sadistic '80s-style 'exploitation' sleaziness.
