A middle-aged housewife, Hera (Kim Chang) consults a psychiatrist because she claims she often feels insecure. The psychiatrist though can't find nothing wrong with her, so he proposes to hypnotize hern to dig a little deeper, to which she agrees. But hypnosis reveals another side of Hera that the psychiatrist did not expect to find: She claims to be able to turn into a seductive young woman every now and again, seduce men, have passionate sex and then suck out their lifeforce and thereby killing them, taking a bodypart of their victims with her, sometimes a penis, sometimes a finger, or even a tongue.

Now that might sound like a wild fantasy, but actually the police led by chief Eung-ju (Lee Se-chang) is investigating a series of murders that follows Hera's descriptions to the point ... yet the cops are not able to track down Hera, mainly due to her shapeshifting abilities.

Meanwhile, Hera's sudden sexual prowess also affects her private life and she regularly exhausts her husband in bed - to the point where he is turned into a mumbling idiot.

The psychiatrist though is more and more excited by Hera's stories and really gets into them, refusing to see that a) they are true, and b) they are part of a childhood trauma Hera suffered when she was gangraped by a group of boys in her childhood ... the boys who have grown into exactly the men she kills now.

Eventually, the police manages to close in on Hera, but Hera still has one person to kill: the psychiatrist. She even announces her plans to the psychiatrist, but still he is unable to resist the sexual charms of Hera once she has changed into her more seductive, younger persona and ends up dead like all the others.

The whole film ends in a big chase, during which Hera even turns into a man to successfully seduce a gay cop, but ultimately she is shot at and wounded. She barely makes it home, but Eung-ju has already caught up with her and shoots her in front of her hubby and kids. Only when she dies in his arms does Eung-ju realize Hera is his own sister whom he hasn't seen anymore after the rape many years ago ...

 

A weird film: On one hand, it's of course obviously a sexploitation flick, as all the sex scenes that precede Hera's murders are shown in quite some detail (but remain softcore throughout), then there are the murders that add a macabre and gruesome note to the proceedings (even if the scenes are not al that explicit), then there is the dead-serious subplot of teen gangrape and the consequences on Hera's psyche  ... and then the whole thing is told in a tongue-in-cheek way, with director/screenwriter Jeong Kil-chae obviously knowing that the story he tells is highly silly - and somehow the whole thing manages to work. I have to admit though it's not a great movie, it's just good fun - and sometimes that's all one needs.
