Anna has weird & creepy nightmares about herself killing people in a sexual
frenzy, & they are getting so vivid that she feels she's losing grip with
reality. Her last hope is housedoctor Paul (Paul Muller), whom she tells her story ... about how
her grflriend Cynthia had discovered
her in a sleazy nighclub where she was a stripper & had promised her stardom if
only she moved in with her. The 2 embarked on a lesbian love affair & lived
in luxury, but stardom never manifested itself, instead she started having
these strange visions & now she thinks she's going insane ...
However what she doesn't know is that Cynthia's house is constantly under
watch from the couple next-door (Soledad Miranda, Andrés Monales), who are as
it turns out after some kind of loot from a jewellery heist. Soon though, Anna
kills the couple, as well as a man (Jack Taylor) making love to Cynthia ... But
why ?
It turns out Cynthia & Paul have made a daring jewellery heist, but now
don't want to share with their partners, instead Cynthia has hypnotized Anna to
kill them for her, to be both the killer & scapegoat. When Anna finds
out though she has killed all the people for real, she shoots herself, &
Paul, who has grown sympathetic to the woman he only intended as his weapon,
wants to give himself up, & when Cynthia wants to prevent him, he stabs her
...
A mazelike erotic thriller that ever so often borders the incomprehensible,
only then to be revealed to be based on some pulp clichés - which is no rarity
in director Jess Franco's output, who always relished in blending art & pulp
elements. This film however tries a little too hard to stay mysterious for its
own good, in fact to a point where one loses interest.
Franco's favoured directorial trademarks - filming from weird angles,
erratic zoom-ins & zoom-outs - do however go very well with this labyrinth
of a film.
