"Die teuflischen Schwestern" or "The Devilish Sisters" or "Sexy Sisters" or "Satanic Sisters" or "Swedish Nympho Slaves" is a German-language film from 1977, so this one will have its 40th anniversary this year. It is one of the films famous Spanish director Jesús Franco made in Switzerland and for which he collaborated with Swiss writer Erwin C. Dietrich. If you know a bit about Franco, you know exactly what to expect here. And what you expect is what you get. Lots of nudity and sexuality, several sex scenes, a decent deal of violence and all of this in the frame of a somewhat dramatic story, which never really makes sense though or has any realistic feeling whatsoever attached to it where you would think that this could indeed happen in real life. The film runs for 85 minutes approximately and tells the story of a nymphomaniac woman held captive against(?) her will by her equally sex-obsessed sister and an evil doctor. Well.. actually, everybody seems sex-obsessed in here and the way they are trying to sell us the story of a knight in shining armor towards the end is really cringeworthy. But luckily for the audience, you never have the feeling that Franco takes himself and his film seriously whatsoever. It is sexploitation and there is no deeper meaning behind it. As usual, Franco serves all tastes as the one major character is a blonde (who did nothing for me though) and the other is a truly hut brunette (yummy). You always need to be horny in advance to really enjoy 95% of Franco's works and it definitely helps here too. Oh and make sure your girlfriend is not sitting next to you. Or have her join in at the action. Finally, however, from a cinematic perspective, I really cannot recommend the watch. It's just above-average porn.

After recently talking about another film from auteur film maker "Uncle" Jess Franco,my dad revealed that he had picked up an Uncle Jess DVD due to thinking that it was the type of thing that I would like (I'm still not sure if that is a good or bad thing!)With Easter coming up,I decided that it was time to meet Uncle Jess's sisters.The plot:Diagnosed with nymphomania, Milicent Antonia von Stein gets tied to the bed by her sister Edna von Stein,Since being raped in her childhood,Milicent has experienced strange sexual dreams,which lead to her finding it tough to tell dreams and reality apart.Written out of the family will by her dad,Edna starts making plans to use Milicent's nymphomania to make her dream a reality.View on the film:Backed by a slick Jazz score from Walter Baumgartner,director Uncle Jess & cinematographer Peter Baumgartner bathe the title in groovy hues,as shimmering shadows are cast across to give a fractured view of the sisters relationship.Covering the walls with eye-catching paintings of cats,Uncle Jess unleashes his famous zoom-in button to cross sexploitation with late 70's "happenings",as steamy sex scenes are blended with psychedelic flashbacks to Milicent's childhood.Whilst the movie does focus on the flesh of its stars,the screenplay by Erwin C. Dietrich does help to keep Jess on track,due to the mind games and "troubled" relationship that Edna has with Milicent being gradually revealed with each sexual encounter.Reuniting with Jess,the very pretty Pamela Stanford gives a mischievous lip-curling performance as Edna von Stein,as Uncle Jess meets his sexy sisters.

I don't think the other reviewers are being fair. How can someone who fast forwarded through most of the movie believe he can give a fair review of it? I'm also getting a little tired of the childish jabs other reviewers give these types of movies. It gets old when every review is coming out with them and is like what I would expect from schoolchildren, not in any way clever. There is lots of sex in this movie and yes you could justify calling it a porn movie. However there are interesting scenes in it also, the characters and situations are often spectacular and really striking. Direction, acting and characters are all great. True, the plot is very simple, but it's more an artsy type of movie. There are all kinds of themes running through it which anyone can see. These beautiful and elegant scenes doesn't just come about by chance or by having beautiful girls, which are dime a dozen. If you think that then you need to watch some bad adult movies and you will appreciate the huge difference.

The extremely prolific director Jess Franco chronically had a problem with coherent plotting for his movies, but for "Sexy Sisters" he found a rather drastic solution to the problem: he dispensed with plotting altogether! Nothing happens in this movie that couldn't have happened in a total of, say, 10 minutes - the other 75 are taken up by long sex scenes, both lesbian and straight. Unfortunately, these scenes are more explicit than erotic, despite Karine Gambier's thoroughly uninhibited performance - after a certain point in his career, Franco's approach became too "gynecologistical" for my tastes. Your mileage may vary. ** out of 4.
