Sex Films and BBFC Cuts

All of the hardcore action has been completely deleted. A totally pointless product painstakingly destroyed by the BBFC.

The BBFC at their censorial worst on this one. The reason cited is that this video c learly depicts real sex throughout. The distributors were told to remove all hardcore scenes and those that barely mask the point of penetration. The most offensive BBFC requirement is that the length of sex scenes should be shortened. Assuming that all hardcore has been excised surely there can be no legal difference between a 6 minute scene and a 4 minute scene. Therefore the BBFC must be censoring running time just for the fun of it with no legal requirements to back up their whims.

Summary Review: Retro Allure

A young couple becomes embroiled with the personal problems of another couple on a yacht moored off Sicily during a turbulent weekend of fun, games, sex games, betrayal, spouse abuse, and murder.

An early lurid exploitation gem from the future director of Cannibal Holocaust.

The female leads, Dionisio and Turner aren't shy and jump into their roles, including some lesbian scenes, with enthusiasm.

The film's low budget and locations work together to create a unique charm. The soundtrack and wardrobes also contribute to the film's retro allure.

Softcore Version

US: Uncut and MPAA Unrated for:

• 2017 Vinegar Syndrome [Hardcore + Softcore versions] RA Blu-ray at US Amazon released on 24th October 2017

Promotional Material

A young woman named Karen moves in with her sister and brother-in-law, but it's quickly made clear that her odd, disturbing behaviors have them both concerned. She heads to the family beach house after overhearing their plans for her committal, but instead of peace and tranquility, Karen finds more reminders of her own madness. Soon the bodies start hitting the floor.

Writer/director Roberta Findlay, credited here as Robert W. Norman, delivers a sexually explicit riff on Roman Polanski's Repulsion with her tale of a woman pushed towards madness and the people around her who suffer for it. Strangers and acquaintances alike who enter her vicinity pay the price for that minor transgression with their lives, and it's often in the form of bloody attacks with a knife or fireplace poker. The film's rough at times in its acting and production, but the core pain seeps through in Karen's hallucinations and visible trauma which in turn give an air of sadness to the slaughter.

Blood isn't the only bodily fluid spilled here, though, as hardcore sex shares the screen with the murders and the madness. It's a rarity in that the porn feels like filler amid the story and character work as opposed to the other way around.

Vinegar Syndrome's 2K restoration brings the tormented woman's world into dreamy, soft focus, and the disc also includes the alternate R-rated cut, a reversible cover, and the following extras.

• Commentary by Roberta Findlay on the R-rated version
• Q&A with Roberta Findlay [22:38]
