Criss Cross In this (Reportedly a remake of a Greek film of the 60s) Joe D'Amato guilty pleasure, goes a beautiful mature agent woman Emanuelle (Rosemarie Lindt - exploiting only the famous name) making a plan against an evil, giant playboy (Habitual George Estman) for murder her sister Françoise of solitude. Is undeniably kinky and trashy, but the music, the photograpahy (Of D'Amato itself) and the composition makes more than worthwhile and it really works! Still, be sure this is not for every taste ... Is a D'Amato film, and one of his best.With Patrizia Gori and Mary Kristal, in color by Luciano Vittori. Still a hard to get DVD overseas. Also known as Emanuelle's Revenge.

EVOL666 I was both disappointed and impressed with BLOOD VENGEANCE (aka EMANUELLE'S REVENGE). On one hand, I was hoping for some of the hard-core sex and perversion that punctuates many a D'Amato production. ON the other hand, the story-line in this one is pretty strong, and although the acting isn't the best (as is usually the case with these sleazy low-budget Italian films) the plot and how it plays out carries the film rather well...Francoise is a sweet young girl with a scumbag boyfriend named . He treats her like garbage and uses her as his scapegoat when he gets into gambling or other problems. After she catches Carlos cheating on her and Carlos kicks her to the curb, Francoise commits suicide. Enter Emanuelle (played by Rosemarie Lindt in this installment), Francoise's big sister who learns all about Carlos and what a douche he is. Emanuelle plots a twisted revenge for Carlos which doesn't work out quite as planned...BLOOD VENGEANCE doesn't feel like an Emanuelle film - it's more just a semi-erotic revenge thriller. The sex is mainly dull and un-explicit, yet there's still a few good, sleazy moments - including a deliriously hallucinatory dinner scene which is one of the highlights of the film. I also enjoyed the somewhat unexpected ending - I was caught off-guard as to how everything eventually played-out and liked the "dark" resolution. Not a great film and not one of my D'Amato favorites - but definitely worth checking out for 70s exploit fans...7.5/10

richajtaylor Not what I expected from D'Amata who is mostly known for his gore/porn films but its somewhat of a different film. You have the big anthropophagus himself George Eastman as a selfish gigolo/actor who obviously causes the death of his pushover model girlfriend. We find out that Carlo's (Eastman)girlfriend has a sister and its no other than Emmanuelle (being played by someone else other than Laura Gemser here). After finding out the humiliation Carlo put her sister through Emmanuelle exacts her revenge by chaining the poor sap in a secret room in her house and drugging him up causing him to have hallucinations. The whole affair is slow moving but it has its perks: some 70's bush (if your into the rug look), slew of soft core scenes and some bizarre hallucinations involving cannibalism, we even get George Eastman reprising his Anthropophagus role with his big meat cleaver! Genre buffs will dig this, you'll need it to complete your emmanuelle collection otherwise I found myself drifting in and out of it.
