When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.
It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
I am a great fan of Jose Ramon Larraz, master of sex and witchcraft in the English countryside, and love his Black Candles, Vampyres, Deviation and the slightly different, Symptoms, but this is so tepid. I suppose if you are looking for a languorous, soft focus, vaseline lens outing with two very friendly ladies, this could be ideal. I'm being a little unfair for you have no doubt seen the outrageous and iconic poster with the girl crouched inside a cut out horse. Well this does appear (within a dream sequence) and there is a real horse with a naked man riding it who chases the ladies (in and out of dreams) and there is a rape scene, though almost entirely cut from available prints. So not your usual hard edged and pagan inspired horror, though it is admittedly well shot with some decent sequences in the rushes, its just not the Larraz I know.
Not much to really rave about in VIOLATION OF THE BITCH. What could have been a relatively interesting storyline about a strange love-triangle, instead turns into an unintelligibly average sexploit film whose only real highlights are a few weak hardcore scenes.A gypsy girl who has recurring rape-nightmares of some nekkid guy on horse, comes to live and work for a rich, secluded, and sex-starved female artist after her previous female employer banishes her under mysterious circumstances. The Nekkid Horse Rider ends up being a real person who has followed Gypsy Girl to Horny Artist's house, and begins a sexual-relationship with both women that will end in tragedy for at least one of the parties involved...VIOLATION OF THE BITCH started off strongly enough, with a bit of a "mystery" element to it, but quickly degenerated into a weak sexploit film. Now, I'm all for sexploit films, and usually plot doesn't necessarily need to be a key-point - but for the kicker to this one is that it introduced several interesting plot-points, and then never followed through with them. Who is Nekkid Horse Rider? What is his history with Gypsy Girl? Why does she call him "Manuel" while he calls himself "Chico"? What really happened between Gypsy Girl and her former employer? I guess I'll have to wait for the 30 year over-due sequel or the Hollywood remake to get these questions answered. Not a horrible film, but the few un-erotic hardcore scenes only help this film so much...4/10
Larraz is one of those directors who succeed in making a picture with virtually no money (e.g. Jesus Franco). By using some unorthodox images like a naked man on a horse, and by doing some smart editing, he manages to give this film a creepy feeling that shows you don't need millions to make a decent picture.This does not mean this is a good movie, although it had some strong scenes, including the infamous horse-with-woman-inside scene, it has a weak ending, a couple of standard middle-of-the-road sexscenes and the acting is (as always in eurotrash cinema) rather amateuristic.I'd recommend this to anyone who has seen every Franco 70s movie available and wants to see something similar. However, Larraz made a much better picture with Vampyres which stands much higher on my all-time top eurotrash list.
Good luck tracking this one down at BlockBuster (that's a laugh!) or any other local video store. Joseph Larraz's long lost slice of Euro-trash is a must see for lovers of decadent cinema, but your only hope is to hook up with a collector who'll no doubt supply you with a poorly dubbed, multi-generation copy. Still, this sick puppy is about as sleazy as it gets (the composite version I saw even contained some hardcore sex scenes), yet manages to tell a rather engaging story about a gypsy orphan girl who comes to stay at a lonely widow's villa and keeps her "company" in more ways than she bargained for. Throw in a naked dude on horseback, a few surreal dream sequences and an assortment of sex, sex and more sex (with a little violence thrown in for good measure), and it all adds up to a highly unforgettable viewing experience. Alas, the only way you'll ever get to see it is by posting a trade request on alt.video.tape-trading.
