This is Bad!!

[matalo · 1/10 · 4 October 2000]

I love Aristide Massacessi aka Lee Castle aka Joe Damato aka... He´s been a gifted cinematographer for many years in the Italian movie industry and then he decided to work as a producer and director of exploitation films. And that´s what he´s best known for. He created the Black Emanuelle series and such Gore classics as Anthropophagus, Rosso Sangue and Buio Omega. He also produced and directed many, many, many porn films, and this is one of them. Being true to the horror genre he mixed the various copulations in this one with a very bad voodoo story. Sounds good? It isn´t. The actors are not very attractive and the sex scenes are boringly shot. And sometimes it really gets disgusting, so you might want to cover your eyes. I´d like to forget it as soon as possible.

exotic orgasm is no erotic pornography

Porno-horror of unspeakable wickedness, in which a series of characters – awfully performed by a bunch of actor less than professional – is attracted into a villa where a black woman kills them systematically, except for taking them back to life and having lots of sex. Toward the ending the woman wakes up in her bed: she's just a maid having a weird nightmare. Even though the two directors – Massacesi (Porno holocaust, 1981) and Siciliano (Scorticateli Vivi, 1978), who were probably busy on other sets after having take a look at the shot – stick an open ending that, more than being well-known, make audiences explode into the last and more liberating laughter of the projection. The painful actors and a story which cannot stand on his feet even masked as a nightmare are shot with a horrible light by a depressed and depressive Ciccarese (Snuff killer, 2003 by Bruno Mattei),completing a work of really low pornography and null and void horror,that works only by virtue of an ironic viewing by group of friends exchanging sarcastic comments and explosions of ironic hilarity.

More Porn/Horror from D'Amato

Orgasmo Erotico (1982)

** (out of 4)

More hybrid horror and porn from D'Amato who most famously combined the two elements in PORNO HOLOCAUST and EROTIC NIGHTS OF THE LIVING DEAD. The trash meter is pretty high here as a couple are having sex when a black voodoo princess walks in on them, killing the man and then having sex with the woman. The two women then visit other men, have sex with them and then kill them. Throughout the film a female zombie keeps showing up and even joins in on one sex scene. I had to view this film in Italian without any subs so I couldn't follow every bit of the story but there was very little dialogue anyways. I always think it's very difficult to blend these two genres but D'Amato certainly tried quite a bit during this period of his career. The results here aren't very good but they're certainly a lot better than the rather disgusting PORNO HOLOCAUST. What makes this film somewhat better is that it actually manages to have some erotic scenes even if most of them are cheaply filmed and at times shot so dark that you really can't see too much (whoever was in charge of the lighting must have been drunk on several occasions). The actors, if you want to call them that, are pretty poor and don't add much to the film but perhaps that's why D'Amato had more details on the sex rather than the actual story or horror elements. The zombie that shows up is pretty cheap looking as she only gets a little face paint so fans of that type of genre will probably be disappointed. The horror elements in the murders are never graphic so don't expect any major gore scenes. One major plus is that the director stole the brilliant score from his film ABSURD (aka MONSTER HUNTER or ANTROPOPHAGUS 2). In the end, there's really not enough here for anyone except D'Amato die-hards to watch. It's better than your average flick like this but that's really not saying too much.
