Proves Fulci should stick to horror

Warning: Spoilers
My review was written in April 1990 after watching the film on Celebrity video cassette.

Italian horror expert Lucio Fulci stubs his toe in the sex film genre with this weak softcore effort, shot in 1986 as "The Devil's Honey". He'd better stick to zombie pics.

Brett Halsey fans might be shocked to see their hero in a "Last Tango" story as a dour surgeon who can't seem to make it with his beautiful wife (Corinne Clery of "Story of O") and goes to prostitutes instead.

When he blacks out in the operating room, contributing to the death of patient Stefano Madia. Madia's girlfriend Blanca Marsillach starts harassing Halsey. Of course, her hae turns into twisted love when she kidnaps the surgeon, ties him up and starts torturing him. Weird, inconclusive ending has Halsey falling in love with her, too.

Pic's dubbing is weak, with Halsey outfitted with a voice that doesn't match. It comes close to the hardcore porn line with considerable nudity and heavy-duty simulated sex scenes. Video box is mislabeled, credirting Spanish thesp Blanca Marsillach as her better known sister Cristina Marsillach.
