Mondo Week: Girl Slaves of Morgana Le Fay

I love Mondo Macabro. That is all. Okay, there is a little more. Check out all their titles at www.mondomacabrodvd.com. I'm going to give you a week-long sample of their works. Let's start off strong with...

Girl Slaves of Morgana Le Fay

Only Europe could bring us a movie like this- plain and simple. I should start off by discussing the title picture's claims. Is this a 'classic?' I don't know about that. Is it erotic? Is women rubbing over each other for 90 minutes erotic? Is it a 'horror' film? Not really. There is a scene of a woman being scared, but it is not for any reason you could possibly guess.

The movie begins with a woman in very, very light bondage. Wearing pretty much no clothes- get used to it- her arms are lightly wrapped in ribbons. They explain that she is going to be kicked out for not obeying the rules. Kicked out of where? You'll see.

*

Our real heroine shows up in a mysterious village while out on vacation. with her friend She finds it curious that all of the women there are old. Where are the youths? More importantly, where is her pseudo-lesbian friend.

*

A quick boat ride across the lake answers one of her questions. A large castle is being run by the infamous Morgana Le Fay (spoiler?) and her favorite midget. The place is full of young, buxom women who wear negligees and pose like they are on an album cover. Our heroine is quickly taken in and bathed in the middle of the room by a trio of women. Sorry, if you want to see that, rent the movie.

*

The movie spends a lot of time showing women making out and rubbing all over each other while someone plays the lute off-screen. It keeps going and going and going. So the movie does have its upsides. Ultimately though, it is a strange, trippy mess. It won't make sense and very little is explained. Our heroine leaves the island after learning that the stay's cost would be her soul. The End.

*

No, not really. After fleeing, she goes into town and sees the old women. After a couple minutes of thought, she decides that eternal good looks is a better thing to have than a soul. The End.

*

Wow, that was something. That is the best way to describe it, I think. Lots of naked women, very little plot and a French midget. That is a formula that probably works very well for some people. As for me, well...one of them is nice. No, it's not the midget. This is also the Special Edition DVD, which is a big 'screw you' to every other DVD release of this film. Take that, inanimate objects!

More weird, Foreign insanity to come. Killers, witches and Tarkan- oh my. Stay tuned...
