Orgasmo Esotico
Italy 1982. Director: Lee Castle (Mario Siciliano)
Cast: Sonia Bennet, Marina Lotar, Michel Curie, Peter Brown

Potboiling hackmeister Mario Siciliano has had a peculiar career. These guys always have. Beginning with a few few spaghetti westerns (Cowards Don't Pray etc) and a war-crappie (Red Barrets) he then confronted suspence with Malocchio before heading into straight porno during the '80s. This weird bastard of a movie lands somewhere in between those last two genres. It's the perfect blend; sex and horror, taken to extreme. Oh yea, these were the days. But unfortunately I watched an Italian print of the film (are there any other?) so consequently I didn't understand a shit. Not that it matters, as it is, essentially, a routine porn film with the added bonus of cheap horror scenes. Anyway, the plot opens with a busty blonde and her loverboy getting on with the usual hardcore business on the sofa. Suddenly they're interupted by someone starring at them from outside the window. When the loverboy goes out to look he is stabbed in the stomach by a brunette who then drags the blonde girl back into the bedroom where the brunette's boyfriend, a dreadful Miguel Ferrer lookalike, joins them for even more explicit aerobics. Then the two girls picks up the body of the first guy and throws him into the well and wanders away happily thereafter. What a wonderful world. There's a few hints at that the brunette might be a witch and also a few papier-maché zombies here and there to lighten up the plot. One scene has a possessed ugly naked guy running around in a backyard screaming and scratching himself as if he had ants in his pants, another scene has Marina Lotar giving a blow-job to a zombie. The film then ends exactly as it has begun. The pretty wild synthesizer score is fun, though, and barely makes the film passable. Taken for what it is, of course.
