Movie Reviews of The Sister of Ursula
Movie Review: sexploitation giallo thriller with a sense of doom
Summary: 3 Stars
In the late 1970's the Italian brand of thriller the Giallo began to be made in much smaller numbers
and they are still made to this day all over the world but in Italy the number was much smaller in the 1980's and trailed off to very few since 1992 to barely any. In 1978 the sexploitation movie was really sweeping to the top in Italy , (only to be replaced at the top in the early 1980's by straight horror in a great horror explosion of that decade, many sexploitation movies had violence in them too.
This is a giallo and a sexploitation movie with softcore sex scenes that are very long. The standard giallo didn't have these , they had nudity sometimes but not long sex scenes. The violence is done off screen here but is still terrible to it's victims. Severin films is up there with blue underground and no shame films in the quality of the prints they release. They clean up the movies and do a damn good job of putting rare flicks out with style. The movies does have a sense of doom about it and the acting is fine but this sense of doom carried over into real life
as the lead actor marc porel died soon after making this movie because of his drug addiction, the hotel they used in this movie was never opened and they allowed the filmakers to use it for free. the two leading ladies dropped out of movie making suddenly and the directors next movie was a disaster as his producers put porn into that one ruining it and slowing down his career. Giallos are still around but this movie showed where the money was going to be made in italian movies mainly until the horror boon took over. I hope severin keeps finding more giallos and hopefully some from the golden age 1970-77. although their were many fine giallos to come still. This is mixture giallo that does not show bloddy killings but the aftermath, other giallos did that too sometimes, but it remains sexploitative even if the killer uses a huge phallus to kill people with. If you like giallos and thrillers then you will like this one but it's not as straight forward as many others are , the acting is very good though so that helps.
Summary of The Sister of Ursula
Severin Films presents an infamous slice of EuroSleaze that repeatedly thrusts at the abyss of bad taste. In the wake of their father's death, two beautiful sisters - sensitive Ursula (Barbara Magnolfi of SUSPIRIA) and promiscuous Dagmar (Stefania D'Amario of ZOMBIE) - come to a seaside resort for a relaxing vacation. But their idyllic getaway will soon become a depraved nightmare of kinky exhibitionists, dope-sick lotharios, lust-crazed lesbians and a psychotic killer who tears women to pieces with - no kidding - a phallus of massive proportion. Marc Porel (THE PSYCHIC) co-stars in this eye-popping combination of delectable sexploitation and vicious giallo, now fully restored from original vault elements and presented uncut and uncensored for the first time ever in America.EXTRAS:
