In many ways, this could be the latter-day Hammer film you never saw. And yet, despite the provocative title, it is actually quite insipid, although visually rich (hence the Hammer comparison). Equally, although there is a fair amount of nudity on display, this never really becomes as sleazy as the title might suggest.
In his only horror outing, director Leopoldo Savona takes advantage of his locations and infuses them with a nice gothic atmosphere, but fails to inject any pace to the proceedings. Leads Mark Damon and the wonderfully named Claudia Gravy are fine in their roles, and the revelation at the (very abrupt) end is hardly surprising.
A minor horror that fails to live up to its lurid title.
