But women who aren't up to snuff get...snuffed. Although the story is thin and quite slow, the lensing is excellent, the mood is brilliantly creepy and the dream sequence leaps from black & white to vivid giallo-esge color in an incredible depiction of hell. Of course the film devolves into moralism in the end, but is rather subversive (for the time and the country) up until the end.

I remember last year some time getting home from work and not wanting to go to sleep (it was 3 am or something) and there was this coffin joe marathon on scream. I had the most fucked up dreams ever falling in and out of consciousness...
