Love and loss with Joe D'Amato.
by Hey_Sweden2014-10-25
7/10

"Out of the handful of horror pictures that the legendary exploitation director made, this has got to be the best in terms of general nastiness. In fact, it's more than nasty, it's downright disturbing at times. The performances are quite good, and D'Amato treats his subjects and his main character with some sensitivity. As mad as he is, one can't help but feel a degree of sympathy for our tormented lead. As a prominent theme here is that of being unable to let go and move on, we can understand how he feels. Yet, of course, we still gape at the deeds that are committed. Han..."

Franca Stoppi replaced another actress who was originally cast as Iris, and she signed on to act in this film without reading the script beforehand. On working with Joe D'Amato she recalled him saying on set that "We're making a movie to make people throw up. We must make 'em vomit!"
