A feminist piece of Romero movie history. The man who aways pointed out he wasn't necessarily trying to make certain political statements (think about his lead in Night of the living Dead, the lead in Day of the Dead and so forth), does have something to say. From the very intriguing, yet quite confusing beginning, this movie sets a tone that will be quite difficult to escape.
And while there are different versions of this (with the one Romero liked probably never going to be released - ever), we have one that is as close to what was intended to be viewed by the audience as can be. That version is called "Season of the Witch" (with the song quite nicely put in one scene almost all remember). There is nudity, but it's almost not worth mentioning. It seems all movies from the 70s had an obligation to show some skin.
This is a drama and a social statement - it is there, even if Romero just wanted to make a movie. And while the main woman/character has quite something to endure, she also is stronger than it appears at first ... whatever that will culminate at the end ... that is something you have to see for yourself. Breaking chains, taking names or going back to "normal"?
