Incredibly Beautiful, 19 October 2005
8/10
Author: chris-green from United Kingdom

I am not ashamed to say I bought this entirely for the lead. She is incredible throughout. I was quite surprised to find myself enjoying the film, but it's certainly not very deep and it's all very silly. If you like Jess Franco films, he described this as the film he "hates the least". That might be an endorsement. I'm not sure.

Interesting film, probably not worth watching unless you have the hots for the girl on the cover - something which lead to me picking up the box repeatedly until I eventually bought it. The film otherwise has its moments - some scenes reminiscent of Polanski and Lynch - only bloated and confused. Enjoyable enough if you like Hammer Horror films, etc.

I wish she was in more films though.
