VideoXploiter This is a very sexy movie, for two main reasons: the statuesque Rosalba Neri and the curvy Ewige Fenech. The X rating, I imagine, was slapped-on due to the brief depiction of incest between the mother and son characters. The year was still 1969, and Italian cinema would continue to get sleazier in the coming decade. It isn't all sleaze (but mostly) - there's a fairly interesting story complete with a satisfyingly tragic ending. I never felt bored, as everyone plays their part appropriately - most notably Eva Thulin and Maud Belleroche, who's characters can be summed up as 'the light' and 'the dark' respectively. Maurizio Bonuglia's character is the douche-bag you love to hate (mostly cause he gets to roll-around with Neri and Fenech). Salvatore Puntillo's dim-wit of a character gets his satisfactory comeuppance. And finally the Lynch-pin is Ruggero Miti, who plays the mentally handicapped son (and inadvertent tragic hero of our story). There's enough to enjoy with this vintage piece of trash-cinema.
Red-Barracuda Unlike what you may think going into this one, it only barely qualifies as a thriller and is more an erotic drama with some thriller elements. There's really no suspense generated at any point, even if the plot-line does move onto murder in its latter half. No, this one's focus is more squarely on other things for the majority of its screen-time. This is not exactly a bad thing though, as it means The Seducers is perhaps slightly less generic than a lot of its contemporaries. I was definitely brought to mind of Roman Polanski's psychological drama Knife in the Water (1962) though, with its group of unsympathetic characters playing out their melodrama and mind-games on a private boat cruise. But then again, I was also reminded of the outrageous Greek exploitation extravaganza Island of Death (1976) on account of that one's scene of goat-based bestiality – in The Seducers we move into a similar basic ball-park, albeit of a decidedly less disgraceful variety. Unlike in Island of Death where we have a male sociopath roger an unfortunate animal, here we have the lovely Edwige Fenech really only getting up close and personal with it. It's a mixture of the questionable, the erotic and the outright bizarre – a properly strange scene whichever way you look at it.The story takes place on a luxurious yacht cruising in the Mediterranean. A wealthy woman of questionable motives hires three people – the seducers of the title - to deflower her mentally-deranged son. Add an innocent farm girl to the mix and you have the recipe for much sexploitation shenanigans.This one is notable for both being a very early screen appearance from cult icon Fenech but is of additional note in that it pairs her up with another of the hottest actresses working in Italian genre films at the time, Rosalba Neri. In actual fact this film is owned by Neri mainly. Kitted out in a leather bikini, carrying a rifle and throwing dynamite into the sea, she is a bad girl par excellence in this one. I've seen Neri in a number of movies but this may very well be her definitive moment here, as her assertive sensuality is a perfect fit for this character. In any case, her and Fenech together in an erotic set-up is never going to be a bad thing, in actual fact they even at one point indulge in a three-way girl-on-girl-on-girl romp with the farm girl they bring on board.All-in-all, this is a bit of an unheralded gem. I only saw it when a very kind fellow IMDb user sent me a copy which suffered from pretty ropey sound quality. It's definitely a movie, though, that is crying out for a proper transfer, it definitely deserves that kind of care and is one that Euro-cult enthusiasts will definitely lap up.
Boyd It isn't really even a giallo ... Its just a rather lame sex film that the director hangs a thriller plot on to try and grab both audiences ...I've only seen it in the English dub which is so bad that its hysterical ... How can you call this a giallo/thriller when there isn't a second of tension... There are some ridiculous costumes and nudity and dancing ... But no ingenious deaths and the plot twists that you see coming from a mile off ... Rosalba and Edwich gets their kit off as usual ... But lets be honest, they made their living doing that and its nothing to get excited about This comes across more as a comedy these days ... And the older woman lead is the sort of Ilsa of soft porn A very silly little film that many see as a huge letdown after such hyping up ... "Interabang" was similar and both leave you with this sort of so what and why feeling
HumanoidOfFlesh A sexy vixen Edwige Fenech stars as a prostitute hired by the overbearing,vaguely incestuous mother of a shy,mentally-retarded 20-year old named Tony. Fenech is meant to claim Tony's virginity on a sea cruise,also attended by sexy Paula and her slimy husband Aldo,who incessantly try to curry the wealthy mother's favor.Ewa Aulin shows up as an island girl who dies when the dull-witted Tony accidentally strangles her,leading her husband to board the ship,where he is quickly dispatched by the rifle-toting Neri."Top Sensation" is a perfect example of Eurotrash cinema.There is plenty of sleaze and fantastic lesbian sequence between Edwige Fenech,Rosalba Neri and Ewa Aulin.The film is cheaply made,but highly entertaining.Give it a look.My rating:9 out of 10.
