After another in a series of fights with her lover Maurizio (Nino Segurini, Beyond the Door, Amuck), Manuela (Eva Green in her only movie) leaves him for the island where her friend Eleonora (Catherine Diamant, Devil In the Flesh) lives alone. Seeing as how this is a giallo, their friendship soon flowers into a relationship much deeper.
Maurizio follows her with the hope of winning her back. And when she chooses him, things get violent.
Directed by Silvio Amadio (Amuck, Smile Before Death), who wrote the script with Gino Mordini (The Sinful Nuns of Saint Valentine) and Roberto Natale (Bloody Pit of Horror), this film makes the most of its location, its small cast and cinematography by Joe D'Amato.
Also known as Island of the Swedes, Twisted Girls, No Man's Island and Island of the Swedish Girls, it has a great body painting scene and an ending that takes from The Most Dangerous Game just as much as Franco did for Countess Perverse, but it comes as a natural outgrowth over the frustrated passions within the characters.
Very few of Amadio's films are available in great quality, which is distressing, and I'd love to see a box ray set of this, Amuck, So Young, So Lovely, So Vicious... and Smile Before Death.
