A private investigator, obsessed with a woman named Laura he was tracking, leads to the palatial estate and grounds of a very warped mother-daughter team of wackos who like to play out "make-believe" scenarios and murder hired chauffeurs. The film looks like a film noir, gorgeous B&W photography and plays like a depraved version of Otto Preminger's LAURA. PI falls in love with an image which gets him into a heap of trouble. Arriving at their door with a gun-shot wound, falling unconscious, he awakens finding himself bound to a bed, a victim of the crazies, at their mercy and becoming, for a while, a victim of vile torture. For instance, while the daughter pumps him full of juice, the mother is on top, *riding* him because, it seems, that the electric charge rises his member. She subsequently urinates on his face after reaching orgasmic delight. Anyway, the daughter takes her own ride, while "mommy" is asleep. She later self-induces vomit all over his face and the camera rarely moves showing the poor guy getting the liquid food-goo all over his face. It's really gross stuff. The film, though, is so well made, the acting by the women(..they're absolutely bonkers, but their unpredictable nature is so compelling and repulsive)superb and wacky, and there's plenty of S&M for those who enjoy that sort of thing.
I'd say this is meant for a particular crowd. I found the film equally parts amusing, stunning, sick, and icky. The film has the daughter and mother often talking to the camera which might easily annoy those who hate this cinematic technique, although these two are so positively nuts and say some the most darnedest things, I couldn't look away. They're very beautiful, especially the mother who has ways with using her eyes to express her sheer lunacy(..while the daughter twitches, talks off to herself, and makes funny expressions with her hands), so the acts they commit can become startling. There's actual *fruit masturbation*(..I kid you not), vaginal violence with a hunting knife proportioned in a place where the male member is normally located, and other forms of sexual unpleasantness(..or pleasantness if you are into the sort of things which take place).
The filmmakers are so good at creating the noir look that they could've easily made films in the 40's or art films in the 60's. But, this film ups the ante with the stuff I mentioned, and a dinner table scene(s)where the women stuff their mouths with food, shortly after barfing it back out on their plates!
