Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaNico Mastorakis was inspired to make this film after seeing The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974). He noticed how much money that film made, and decided to make a more violent and perverse film in order to make even more money.
- GoofsWhen they are in the phone box you can see a cameraman in the reflection of the glass door.
- Quotes
Christopher: No one wants to be brought up with perversion. Children must be brought up in a proper way. Nature is strong.
- Alternate versionsThe original UK cinema version (released as "A Craving For Lust") was heavily cut by 13 minutes by the BBFC and the film later ended up on the DPP 74 list of video nasties. The initial 1987 video release (now retitled "Psychic Killer II" despite having no connection with the previous film of that title) had been edited by the distributors before submission to remove the original UK cinema cuts but was rejected by the BBFC. The 2002 DVD release by Vipco was cut by 4 minutes 9 secs to edit the rape scenes, a woman's face being burned with a lit aerosol, a repeated kicking, a urination scene, and shots of a sickle blade in a woman's bare breast. The director's interview extra on the DVD was also cut by 54 secs by the BBFC with the same edits to the sickle, aerosol and kicking scenes. All the cuts were fully waived in 2010 for the 2011 Arrow DVD.

Featured review
This film touts that its been banned the world over and its easy to see why, its a film that plays with your head from beginning to end and leaves you feeling unwell for days. Odds are if you see it you'll understand why people don't want you to see it.
The story of a pretty young couple on vacation in Greece turns more and more twisted as time goes on. Rape, murder, sadism and a few other delights get taken to the next level as more and more depravity is revealed. The film was made with the intention of disturbing the viewer and it disturbs almost from the outset as things very quickly are revealed to be seriously amiss. Its gets to the point where you're sitting on egg shells waiting for the next terrible thing to happen.
You'll forgive the lack of details but anyone who is interested in seeing this are best left to fend for themselves. I think that plot-wise the less known the better so that you can truly enjoy, if it is enjoyment, the twisted twists.
I don't know if I like it or hate it. The film certainly provokes a reaction but I'm not sure thats a good thing or bad thing. Certainly its not for anyone with gentile sensibilities. Its well made but beyond that you're on your own.
6 out of 10, though I'm not sure how to fairly rate it.
