Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.

Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay

Absolutely amazing

Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

"Der Turm der verbotenen Liebe" or "Tower of Sin" or "She Lost Her... You Know What" or "Tower of Screaming Virgins" is a West German / French /Italian co-production from 1968 that resulted in this German-language film, even if there are English versions out there too. The director is Franz Antel and even if this is based on an Alexandre Dumas novel, the name Antel should tell you enough, especially in combination with the title, to tell you that this one here is not a film where you should have great expectation or even expect some kind of quality. The good news is that it is not as much pointless softcore porn as you could have thought, thae bad news is that even the better components like sets and costumes are mediocre at best. Luckily, the film stays under the 90-minute mark, so it is not a long watch by any means. The cast does not include any well-known names at all for me as a German audience member with the one exception of course that is Uschi Glas, but the quality of this film here is symbolic for a great deal of her body of work, stuff that simply isn't good and even if she may have been an icon in terms of her looks, she just isn't a particularly gifted actress in terms of range and probably never was. Well as for the story here, there isn't too much to say. Of course there are many sexual references as there is a tower of lust in the center of it all, but well the character writing and plot writing really makes you just want to look away on many occasions. What else can you say about this one. It is not possibly to take this film seriously from any perspective, not as a drama because that's what it tries to be the most, not as a historic movie or even period piece and not as a fantasy film either. It is not bad/entertaining enough to be a guilty pleasure or to be so bad that it is good again in a funny way. It is just very medicore and forgettable. i give it a thumbs-down overall because honestly pretty much everybody who worked on it seemed to not have contributed anything of quality or talent here. Watch something else instead. Final note: What the hell was that Blanche DuBois / Streetcar reference???

Tower of Screaming Virgins (1968) ** 1/2 (out of 4)Based on the Alexandre Dumas novel, this film tells the story of a Queen who has a lust for blood. Each night men are taken to a deadly tower and in the morning their bodies are discovered. One man decides he has had enough and plans to overthrow the Queen.This German film is certainly a very strange one. It has been released under a number of titles but its TOWER OF SCREAMING VIRGINS is perhaps the most infamous of the bunch. The film's title and promotional materials makes you think that you're walking into a Euro horror picture but that's not really the case. This here is basically a swashbuckler film that someone like Errol Flynn would have appeared in had he been the age he was when he did THE ADVENTURES OF ROBIN HOOD. What sets the film apart from others in the genre is the fact that this one does feature horror and sleaze elements.The most surprising thing about this picture are some rather bloody and creative torture and death scenes as well as plenty of female nudity. This film certainly lived up to its reputation as being a rather dirty little picture adn this stuff certainly helps keep the film moving and entertaining. I think the film also deserves credit for having a nice atmosphere, some great costumes and I really liked the cinematography and look of the picture. All of these elements certainly make the film worth watching.At the same time, I found most of the story and most of the performances to be rather forgettable. Whenever something "dirty" wasn't happening the film really dragged. Still, with that being said, the flaws with the picture aren't great enough to keep people from checking it out.

Although clearly marketed as a sex flick, TOWER OF SCREAMING VIRGINS is a surprisingly well-made European potboiler, jointly made between three countries: West Germany, France, and Italy. However, the film's description and title are a far cry from what the film actually contains: there is indeed a tower in the film, but the women in it are clearly not virgins, seeing as they have different men delivered to their doors every single night. There's not a great deal of screaming in the film, either. Still, despite the misnomer, TOWER OF SCREAMING VIRGINS is a fast-paced little flick that's only spoiled by an overly twisty plot that'll have you scratching your head before long.The story – supposedly based on a play by Alexandre Dumas – is about an evil French Queen who's running riot whilst the King's away. She has young men delivered to her tower, where she has sex with them, then kills them and dumps their bodies in the river. Into this story comes a war hero who decides to investigate the mysterious murders, and comes face to face with court intrigue. Then there's a complicated back story and incestuous twist in the tale which'll have your jaw agape (yes, I know this was the 'swinging' '60s, but even so…). The best thing is to not even attempt to try and understand what's going on – just enjoy the plot.Jean Piat is the athletic hero and he carries the role with some aplomb and charisma – he reminded me of a dark Lex Barker. He's supported by a great cast of nubile young women, most of whom are happy to strip for the screen, so expect to see breasts and bums aplenty in this movie. Then there are the action sequences, which are superbly staged, although too few for my liking. Things climax early on with a highlight involving a bar-room brawl, in which our heroes fends off his attackers with a burning cloth! Costumes and sets are spot on and the tower itself (a miniature, like Hammer's Castle Dracula) looks great. The script isn't too shoddy and although the head-scratching plot is a turn-off, this film packs three stories into one, and never becomes boring. Instead it just piles on twist after twist, surprise after surprise, before finishing on a fiery high. Lovers of historical adventures will be in their element with this raucous offering which never lets up.

I saw this film under the irresistible title: The Tower of Screaming Virgins. To its credit, the film offered both a tower and some screaming, although I doubt if anyone in the tower was a virgin. . . not that I was going to complain! I knew I was going to groove on this film from its pre-credit scene where an escaping man was shot with an arrow by a topless woman in a red executioner's hood. This film featured surprisingly good swordplay, a handful of nice, semi-nude ladies, and a better than expected story, something that surprised this viewer. The plot involved a conspiracy to supply the Queen and her handmaidens with lovers. The women wore masks and waited in the tower. After the men had served their purpose, they were murdered and dumped in a river. Unfortunately, the rogues whose job it was to do the supplying and the murdering had not done the job correctly, and bodies were beginning to be found. The rogues made a bigger mistake when they selected romancing adventurer Bouridan as a guest of the tower. In addition to women and fighting, Bouridan liked a mystery. The Tower of Screaming Virgins delivered on all the thrills a potential viewer would expect. I recently watched the similar, and somewhat better known, Isabella, Duchess of Devils (aka Ms. Stilleto), but The Tower of Screaming Virgins was the more enjoyable film. It had a better story, quicker swordplay, and nicer actresses. I hope other viewers will enjoy their time in the The Tower of Screaming Virgins as much as I did.
