This enjoyably lurid thriller from Umberto Lenzi sees the director continuing to explore the seedier, more sexual side of the genre.

There is more to this nihilistic tale than meets the eye. … The interplay between the three protagonists is engaging and there are some genuinely tense moments along the way.
