This is classic Eurohorror. It makes no sense whatsoever, but it is chock-full of startling visual images, bizarre plot twists, warped psychology, and perverse sex. A young man is unjustly sentenced to a mental institution by his crippled aunt, so (of course) he takes it out on his three sexy, young female cousins (who all end up deflowered and hanging naked in a slaughterhouse). He gets his comeuppance though as a result of various macabre jokes he plays on local would-be rapist and his wife. The ending is yet another European variation on Edgar Allen Poe's "The Black Cat" with a little "Phantom of the Opera" thrown in for good measure. It's too bad the director Guerin-Hill died falling off the titular bell tower while shooting the last scene of this movie. If A Bell from Hell is any indication he could have given the Franco-Rollins-Borowczyx triumvirate a run for their money when it came to arty, vaguely erotic, non-sensical Eurohorror.
