In 1971 the legendary sex film maker Torgny Wickman made "Fear Has a 1000 Eyes",which is often regarded as the first Swedish erotic horror ever made.There are rumours that the movie was heavily censored,but a longer version is nowhere to be found."Fear Has a 1000 Eyes" is an honest attempt to make erotic horror,unfortunately the overall result is bizarre and confusing.The vicar Sven and his pregnant wife Anna live in a vicarage in the country.Anna's friend Hedvig comes to visit.But Hedvig has evil plans and causes spooky happenings and mystical deaths.This Devil's priestess starts an orgy with Anna and Sven before the vicarage burns down with herself inside.Swedish actress Anita Sanders worked mainly in Italian cinema,where she acted for both Pasolini and Fellini.The movie's working title "Henbane in My Ear" is a Shakespeare quote from 'Twelfth Night'.It alludes to the drugs that were supposed to induce sexual hallucinations with women who were said to be witches in old times.7 out of 10.

This is one of those Swedish films that is only currently available in its native dialogue, so I had to rely on the bizarre visuals (and written plot synopses from bilingual Swedes) to try to fathom exactly what the hell is going on. A woman (Anita Sanders),who apparently was in some kind of institution, returns home with her husband to her friend/maid (Solveig Anderson). The younger woman, however, is now practicing witchcraft. She wreaks all kinds of strange havoc with voodoo dolls and then uses her powers to seduce BOTH the religious husband and the neurotic wife. It all ends--as these things inevitably do--in a long satanic orgy.

This movie is interesting mainly for the two lead actresses and the director, Torgny Wickman. Solveig Anderson would probably be a lot more well known in Swedish erotica of that era if only she had not appeared in all her English-friendly films (i.e. "Swedish Wildcats", "Thriller", "Wide Open") with Christina Lindberg, who made even this Swedish beauty seem pretty ordinary-looking by comparison. Anita Sanders, on the other hand, was mainly active in Italian exploitation flicks. She appeared in the early Tinto Brass interracial-sex film "Nerosubianco (Attraction)" and she played former Miss Teen Italy Gloria Guida's ridiculously young-looking mother in "Quella Eta Malizia". Free from the erotic shadows of Christine Lindbeg and Gloria Guida respectively, these two do manage to generate quite a bit of heat together (which might explain why they're wandering around out in the snow wearing short miniskirts in one scene).

Torgny Wickman is most famous for his "Language of Love" sex documentaries, which broke a lot of barriers in their day, but seem pretty quaint today. His fictional film "Anita" with Christina Lindberg as a crazed nymphomaniac has gotten a legitimate English-language release and quite a bit of attention recently, but his earlier study of teenage nymphomania, "Eva, the Half Virgin" (with Anderson in the title role) has so far been neglected. As a Swedish horror film, this certainly won't make anybody forget about "Let the Right One", but as an EROTIC horror film it certainly works alright.
