Real nasty little sadistic giallo. We are
drawn into the movie with first violent event taking place even before title
comes up. Soon after we find ourselves inside some villa owned by mad doctor
and occupied with “randomly picked” guests, each with some dark secrets.
There’s also a beautiful blond secretary which is somehow (through fluorescent
shining eyes!) connected with doctor’s comatose son. So in short: you don’t
have a clue what the fuck is going on, so you just relax and wait for killings
to start happening.
And this waiting is very pleasant because there
are few beautiful women running around naked all the time (they don't have sex though which is a bit strange when you think about it). When nasty stuff
finally starts to take place, it goes from modestly nasty to real gory. Won’t
go into details here, but one scene is really worth mentioning. This woman is
chased by some sort of floating pole (!!!) and instead of just running away,
she screams her ass off (ok, we are used to this from horror flicks) and –
check this shit out – spreads her legs (quite graphically, close to hard porn),
so this pole can penetrate and finally impale her! And the whole scene is shot
in this really slow motion, Fulci kind of paying attention to details.
Hilarious stuff, no way this kind of sleaze could be made these days.
8/10
