After
a student sneaks out of a female boarding school and fails to return in
the morning, the headmistress does not notify the police for fear of negative
publicity. It soon becomes evident that the girl is not going to innocently
come back when a second student is found murdered amid rumors of teacher/student
sexcapades. Everything becomes even more complicated in this Euro-styled
Giallo after a biker gang takes aim at the school.
Emilio Vieyra was
Argentina's first cult director, Internationally known CURIOUS
DR HUMPP [original title VENGANZA
DEL SEXO] as well as FEAST
OF FLESH
[Deadly Organ], BLOOD
OF THE VIRGINS, and NAKED
BEAST. Mr Vieyra was notoriously ahead of his time - a constant
target of government censorship - for delivering films that gleefully
mixed nudity with violence. In the mid 1970s, Emilio decided to stop butting
heads with authorities and try a more mainstream approach to entertainment.
After a decade of movies likeAsí Es Buenos Aires [This
is Buenos Aires] and television actioners, i.e.Narcotráfico,
Juego Mortal [Drug Trafficking, Deadly Game], he returned
to his roots with CORRECCIONAL
DE MUJERES
[Prison for Women], the vigilante thriller VENGEANCE
OBSESSION[Obsesion
de Venganza] and this sleazy Giallo with a very unconventional
ending. Mr Vieyra died at age 85 in 2010.
The star here is Argentinean
Mariana Karr. She made only two theatrical films, this one and SATAN'S
BLOOD in 1978. However, Mariana starred in a truckload of television
shows [mostly soap operas]. In Argentina, she was featured in 30 programs
between 1968-95 [480 different episodes]. Marriana moved to Mexico in
late 1995 for the series Lazos de Amor (Bonds of Love),
playing the role of Susana Ferreira in 98 episodes. She decided to stay
in Mexico. Between 1998-2016, Marriana starred in another 25 programs
(approximately 1000 episodes). Ms Karr died from a heart attack, July
2016, at age 66.
