SEXO
SANGRIENTO has the reputation
of being the 'Holy Grail' for horror fans. It has garnered considerable notoriety over the years even though
few people have actually seen it
Original Spanish Title: SEXO SANGRIENTO [Bloody Sex]
also known as BLOODTHIRSTY SEX
director: Manuel Esteba (Manuel Esteba Gallego)
starring: Mirta Miller · Ovidi Montllor · Diana Conca · Viki Palma ·
Rosa Romero
Although
not as exploitative as the title (nor it's reputation) may indicate,
this seldom-seen horror film does create a high level of tension and
atmosphere while delivering a story of paranormal shocks, lesbian frolics
and grisly slaughter. Specifically, the film became notorious for the
graphic blade-to-vagina scene which eliminates one of the female characters
but the real plot deals with two college coeds who find themselves at
the mercy of a demented painter after their car breaks down in an abandoned
Spain village.
Two lesbian lovers, Norma and Andrea, meet up with school friend Laura
to explore a ghost town in Northern Spain. After car troubles, they
take refuge at Laura's house where her mother - a painter named Maria
- is hiding a very dark secret. Clairvoyant Andrea recognizes the existence
of a sinister force but is unable to stop the carnage.
Director Esteba had an uneven career. He was often too ambitious for
his projects - like this one - and in his zeal to produce a sexy, gore-infused
opus [celebrating the more liberal post-Franco years] ended up making
a film which suffered from countless censorship problems, not to mention
production woes. He is probably best known for the Spaghetti Western
Twenty Paces to Death (1970), directed as Ted Mulligan.
But he also helmed numerous exploitation movies in the '80s [including
VICIOUS
AND NUDE and PORNO:
EXTREME MEASURES]. Mr Esteba died at age 68 in February 2010.
