This is one of the better
movies from the infamous exploitation guru Jess Franco, that however
doesn't make this a great movie. Dr. Johnson's experiments with
aborted fetuses is brought to a stop by a group of surprisingly
jealous colleagues who deem it inhumane and revoke his license. Not
only that but they decide to trash his laboratory as well for some
weird reason. Unable to do what he loves the most makes dr. Johnson
lose his mind and commit suicide. Dr. Johnson's wife swears revenge
on the people who destroyed her husband, so she decides to seduce and
kill all of them. Well needless to say the plot is quite crap and the
acting is mostly weak, but that's not exactly the point of this
movie. It's of course the sex and violence which both there are
plenty enough, though getting there takes surprisingly long. The
violence is quite mild compared to others of it's kind and the
effects are rather bad. The sex on the other hand is well in hand,
mostly thanks to Soledad Miranda who is always a pleasure for the
eyes. She also is the one who puts the most effort into the acting
and does a surprisingly good performance turning from an innocent
wife into a crazed seductive killer. The cinematography and the set
design are quite brilliant so the movie looks gorgeous. The music is
also great, even though it does start to repeat itself a bit too much
in the end. So in the end there's quite a bit I liked in this movie,
but on the other hand there was an equal amount which I didn't.
