Although it is not well written but the astonishing credit sequence has a naked girl, whipping and more before we have any chance to realise what is going on. I notice that William Rose named for this Italian giallo, like one I remember from Rent-a-Girl (1965) was very similar in this earlier film but this one and others, like The Smut Peddler (1965) have all been made in US as he had been born in New York. The main girl is Daniela Giordano a lovely girl but she seems not to have been in many films although was in Your Vice is a Locked Room and Only I Have the Key (1972). She is very good and we see Rosalba Neri early on in the film but it is one of her last roles it is a shame as she made almost 100 films was the end and her little part in this one. This film, Girl in Room 2A (1974) is completely mad where the girls are mostly stripped and hung and tortured. There are men who appear as sadist with kidnaps in prison and cellar although there seems no particular need so just for the fun. Although Daniela still seems to have an idea what is going on and there is an element of horror when she sees blood on the carpet early on and then the people outside the door and the windows opening and give a sense of unease. So the film is completely daft but this enough of something to keep us to going.
