8/10
Twisted little exploitation flick
9 July 2019
Warning: Spoilers
Callous macho stud Carlo (well played to the hateful slimy hilt by George Eastman) drives his sweet and vulnerable lover Francoise (an appealing portrayal by fetching brunette Patricia Gori) to commit suicide by kicking her to the curb after having his wanton way with her. Her sister Emanuelle (a fine and credible performance by foxy blonde Rosemarie Lindt) decides to exact a harsh revenge by chaining Carlo up in a secret room in her house.

Infamous Italian sleazemeister Joe D'Amato, who also co-wrote the sick script with Bruno Mattei, keeps the engrossingly sordid story moving along at a steady pace, maintains an appropriately harsh seamy tone throughout, and ends the seedy plot on a pleasing grim note. Moreover, D'Amato not only delivers an extremely satisfying serving of tasty bare female flesh and sizzling soft-core sex (a lesbian threesome rates as a definite arousing highlight), but also tosses in several moments of hideously gruesome violence for gory good measure. D'Amato's slick cinematography provides an impressive glossy look. Gianni Marchetti's groovy melodic score hits the funky-grinding spot. A nice slice of prime 70's Eurosleaze.
