Wim Verstappen and Pim de la Parra were the Wim and Pim of Scorpio Films. They made Blue Movie, which led to the end of the Dutch film rating system for adults. They also made Sylvia Kristel's first movie, Frank en Eva.
Written by Pim along with Carel Donck, Charles Gormley (who directed the TV movie adaption of the comic book The Bogey Man), David Kaufman and Harry Kümel (the director of Daughters of Darkness), this is the story of the four women in the title. But the driving force - at first - is Susan (Willeke Van Ammelrooy), a model who has grown tired of the fast life and moved to the country. As the title tells you, she lives with Sandra (Marja de Heer), Olga (Franulka Heyermans) and Julie (Marieke van Leeuwen), who always seems to be asleep.
Then Anton (Hans van der Gragt) comes to lure Susan back and things get weird.
I mean, they were weird before. After all, Sandra and Olga just killed an American tourist and buried his body in a lake where it was found by the somehow even stranger Piet (Nelly Frijda) who has taken the body to her shack and started treating it as if it were alive.
Susan and Anton start to fall for one another while Sandra and Olga conspire to get between them and get with Anton.
Oh yeah. Albert (Serge-Henri Valcke) is living inside the walls watching everything.
Pim de la Parra made Obsessions, which was written by Martin Scorcese and scored by Bernard Hermann, so he knows how to do suspense. This is, well, Eurosleaze and I say that in the kindest of ways. It's a movie about getting the actresses nude and then also having them conspire to commit all sorts of murder.
What I didn't expect was the use of Stevie Wonder's "Don't You Worry 'Bout a Thing." Where did that come from?
This was also the final movie that Elisabeth Lutyens would score. She also worked on The Skull, The Psychopath, Dr. Terror's House of Horror and Never Take Candy from a Stranger.
None of this makes sense and I wouldn't have it any other way. How many movies are there were a bunch of worked up women live inside the twists and turns of a maze-like farmhouse and continually taunt the weird lady that lives in the woods while a guy watches them, Bad Ronald style? It is a genre of one.
