Imagine if Roger Corman produced a Giallo. Well, didn’t he do this a whole bunch of times with all of those erotic thrillers? An in-name-only sequel directed by Catherine Cyran (writer of Slumber Party Massacre III), this has Phillip (Barry Bostwick) marrying a series of age-appropriate women like Jean (Lesley-Anne Down) and bringing his young daughter Casey (Teresa Hill) to live with them. But like a plot out of a Caroll Baker/Umberto Lenzi movie, Phillip and Casey are truly lovers and kill off the wheelchair-bound rich woman before they have to deal with her lawyer, Howard (Michael Gross). But then it turns out that Jean may not be as dead as she seems.

This movie almost doesn’t want the erotic part of its genre. At one point, after getting high at a goth club, Casey brings home another club girl named Lisa (Betsy Lynn George) for a three-way with her much older lover. Instead of showing that, it’s all in dialogue, and we cut to the following day. As a result, this feels more like a TV movie than an actual erotic film. That said, Teresa Hill is gorgeous, but I’m also someone who grew up in the pre-Suicide Girls days of nascent goth girls who had no set way of wearing their makeup and couldn’t easily find Manic Panic and Urban Decay at Target.

The story is better than the first, however. I’m always a fan of criminals falling for someone who is even more dangerous than them, and this gets that right, with supernatural ghostlighting (I’m copyrighting that phrase) and Alex Keaton’s dad playing lover against lover.

Also known as Behind Closed Doors, this was made in the same house as Carnosaur 2. As always, I have to thank The Schlock Pit for that knowledge.
