Emma
is a teenager when she is the victim of a terrible car accident in London.
Her brain suffers some malfunctions and she needs constant psychiatric
care. Her mother, Silvia, confines Emma inside the house [usually under
the care of a maid] but her personality becomes unstable and, ultimately,
aggressive which lead to a horrible series of brutal violence.
Euro
filmmaker Jose Ramon Larraz fought diligently in the '70s and '80s to
loosen censorship restrictions in his home country of Spain. Often,
he would make films in the U.K. where he could push the boundaries of
his craft. This particular film is one of his rarest, shot in tandem
with SCREAM
AND DIE, using many of the same sets and locations.He
helmed 26 movies and is probably best known to genre fans for WHIRLPOOL,
SEXUAL
RITES OF THE DEVIL, VAMPYRES,
and VIOLATION
OF THE BITCH
(akaComing of Sin). Towards the end of his career,
he moved to North America where he made numerous films [EDGE
OF THE AXE, REST
IN PIECES, SAVAGE
LUST] under the alias Joseph Braunstein. Director Larraz died
September 3, 2013 in Andalucía, Spain at age 83.
A Spanish/British
production; widescreen format (16:9), uncut version (74 min.), DVD encoded
