Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.
A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
The film may be flawed, but its message is not.
It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
This long lost gem from 1970 is especially interesting because of the contrast it delivers between English stiff upper lip and a depravity all wrapped up in the characters of this movie.It also has been an inspiration i think for later films like "Last house on the left" and in lesser extend even "Evil Dead" with the isolation of a cabin in the woods.Performance of the actors is often "of"and seems to be building up to some more psychological play and the dialog feels some what strange cause it switches to much between intelligent and plain stupid ,also is the intent of the aunt and nephew to obvious and with some thought and nuances it could have had some good plot development and it would have been a better movie.The "victim" in this movie is a model that gets doped up and sort of forced, all though it is sometimes hard to tell if she is being raped or actually excepts her position and does this all out of free will and at some points that's a little bit hard to swallow.The ending was a bit of a drag when she realized that the nephew photographed the rape and she seemed really upset about this like she did not even notice it. Stil,it was a movie ahead of his time and overall there is right in this"wrong"so you will still think about it later on and decide it's really a shame that this was lost for such a long time. This is a great example of a 70's cult classic and not to be missed by anyone who likes cult flicks.A whirlpool of fun.
Jose Ramon Larraz sleazy horror debut tells the story of a perverse relationship between an aspiring model named Julia,a strange young photographer Theo and his middle-aged aunt.Theo initiates a relationship with Julia and even gets her to have sex with his aunt so he can photograph them in the act.Julia is also raped in the woods by his sleazy friend whilst Theo is photographing them."Whirlpool" was made in Denmark,then dubbed in English and released in US cinemas under the title "She Died with Her Boots On".I have seen a poor quality timecoded copy of "Whirlpool",which was found in 2005 on bootleg.The pace is slow and the narrative is thin,but there is enough sleaze and graphic violence to satisfy fans of Euroexploitation.8 whirlpools out of 10.
After many years this fine first film from Jose Ramon Larraz has finally surfaced from an online dealer.The film itself is amazingly sleazy considering its both British (though registered in Denmark) and from the 60's, before films like EXPOSE and FRIGHTMARE became the norm. The film has many similarities to other Larraz films of the period, such as being set in rural England during the fall and featuring a severely warped family relationship.Stars frequent Larraz favorites Karl Lanchbury (in yet another oddball role similar to those in DEVIATION, SCREAM AND DIE and VAMPYRES) and Andrew Grant (also in DEVIATION and EMMA PUERTAS OSCURAS). Its score is by Stelvio Cipriani, who also did the score for Larraz's DEVIATION (which was VERY similar to his score for Mario Bava's TWITCH OF THE DEATH NERVE aka BAY OF BLOOD).
I saw this in the theater way back when.My memory fails over the years but I wish I could see it again.I remember it as a slezzy sort of teasing film except for the ending.Thats what made the film and why so many try to find it today.Alas with no luck.If you can find it,tell the WORLD!!
