Not one of Lucio Fulci's finest films but then neither is it one of his worst. Bit difficult to summarise or categorise but essentially a rather neat piece of exploitation cinema, leaning very much towards the sexploitation end of the spectrum. Corinne Clery does well here but she is in her late 30s and leaves most of the more blatant and more nudity orientated scenes to Blanca Marsillach. There are some extraordinary sex scenes too, including a wild and near explicit sex act with a saxophone, masturbation with some red nail varnish and a crazy motorbike sequence where Blanca is encouraged to pleasure the youthful rider from her place on the pinion. Later sequences where the reliable Brett Hasley is the bound victim of said young lady (who spends most of the film without clothes) and there are further weird and wonderful sequences including near drowning and near hanging as the dog goes crazy and young Blanca perhaps even crazier. Not a film for everyone but enough here for Fulci fans and more with the maestro giving himself a cameo in a rather attractive episode in Venice.
