Seventies horror-satire ready to be looked at again


This isn't a great film but it does deserve to be lifted from the remainder bins, Richard Burton is in definite decline and his performance feels fueled by controlled and uncontrolled substances. A bevy of beautiful and sensuous actresses, indeed. I don't think it would be fair to say who is the best. My personal favorite: Racquel Welch is stunning as ever but Joey Heatherton is the astonishing revelation here. A personal best, her legacy. The European talent aren't shabby and hold up their end.
There is a brutish, cruel quality that hangs over the whole project. It feels like high end soft core porn. This is whiteploitation cinema.

I watched the DVD last night. The movie is very funny at times and shocking at others.

The female cast is gorgeous!

The remainder bin is too good for this uninspired waste of celluloid.

I’ll have to watch this sometime!
