Ugly people in exotic locations
25 August 2003
And except for Laura Gemser, all of the woman look unappealing while the men look like a bunch of lecherous perverts. They should've all just kept their clothes on.

The Blue Underground DVD also has an excerpt from the late-Joe D'Amato where he tells us that some of the distributors inserted hard-core sex scenes for the French version, and that he was sued by an actress for having her undergo a 'traumatic experience' while filming the 'snuff' scenes. D'Amato explains that the actress knew what she was getting into ahead of time and that the lawsuit was strictly for money. These extras are more intriguing than the film itself.

There's not much of a plot to this. Laura Gemser plays a photographer (what else?) who visits a millionaire's mansion that contains lots of unattractive, horny women, and secretly (?) photographs the goings on.

Gemser has soft-core sex scenes with women where they mostly fondle each other. It's pretty tame stuff. Then there's the famous scene of a woman jerking off a horse. What a dumb scene. (yawn) Then there's a hard-core oral sex scene inserted during the cake party that's mechanical and boring. Then there's another hard-core sex scene in the beach hut that shows actual penetration between an unattractive couple. And finally there's a boring three-way between a black guy, a white guy and a blond lady. If you blink hard enough, you'll miss it.

And finally there's the afterformentioned 'snuff' scene which is also over in the blink of an eye. You have to freeze-frame the DVD in order to catch it. Just a bunch of ugly guys dressed in army uniforms, standing around cutting woman or sticking hooks into their breasts or poles into their vaginas. No wonder that actress, sued.

The title song by Armonium is hideous pseudo-psych pop (I had to turn the volume down) that I hope to never hear of again.

In fact, I hope never to see this film again, that's how bad it is.
