This movie is a real oddity! It's original but please don't mistake it
for a good movie as well.
I like '70's exploitation movies but you can't really call this movie a
typical exploitation flick at all. Even though it basically features
all of the ingredients of an exploitation flick in it, it has a totally
different style, which makes this movie less of an exploitation flick
and more of an oddity to watch.
The movie has some real serious pacing issues. It's far too long and
scenes are often needlessly stretched out. It's not like it makes the
movie boring but it does make it a very little exciting or involving
one. I do admit though that it slows pace works out well for some of
the sequences, that have some form of tension in them. But really,
that's about the only thing this movie did right, in my opinion.
I seriously do believe that this movie could had been a decent one, had
it been done in a more traditional way. It had a pretty good concept
and some good ideas and characters in it. Besides, Millie Perkins
played a pretty deranged character, that at the same time was also
still being likable enough to care for.
And no, the movie is really not all that graphic too watch. It actually
is being more graphic with its nudity and with some sexual
implications, that also involve incest, which really is the foremost
reason why this movie is still somewhat notorious for and also the
reason why it became one of the video nasty's, that were banned in the
UK, for a long time.
It's odd and original but I wish that I could also say it was good and
recommendable.
4/10
