AKA She Cat.

AKA Female Cats.

'She Cat' is a Japanese soft-core porn thriller about innocent female doctor Mineko. A botched assassination puts her in brutal killers' sights and when Mineko starts dating a male co-worker, Sachiko, an aggressive lesbian from Mineko's past, comes out enraged with jealousy, and begins tormenting Mineko and her boyfriend. Mineko seeks revenge.

Yamashiro's direction is great and is composed of many astonishingly good-looking sequences, punctuated by some creatively stylish Argento-esque camerawork. A lesbian shower sequence between Mineko and Sachiko is singled out for praise. The scene is shot from the shower faucet's point of view, through a spray of water.

If you are into female exploitation films, 'She Cat' delivers! It got beautiful women creatively shot in frequent sex-scenes and a plot that actually works.

Joe Sarno's 'Warm Nights and Hot Pleasures' follows three ambitious college girls eager to make their mark on Broadway to New York City. After renting an apartment, in a building where the landlady poses for sexy pics, the girls are immersed in a lurid world of wild parties, men's clubs and sleazy casting couches. Soon, each one must decide how far she is willing to go for stardom.

Like many Sarno pictures, this one focuses on the women and their misadventures. Despite some simulated sex and brief nudity, the film plays out more like a drama than a straight nudie flick, with its tragedy, despair, debasement and betrayal.

So basically, what you got here is a 60s NYC sleaze-lite B&W exploitation drama, with some great trashy moments, and a jazz soundtrack that doesn't quit.

This was an awesome horror movie.

You shouldn't go into this move knowing any more than the basic plot line: A woman staying at an Airbnb discovers that the house she has rented is not what it seems.

This is not a slow-burner. You get a creepy feeling from the start.

30 minutes inn the psychological anticipation for what is going to happen next is nerve shattering and director Zach Cregger manages to keep the tension rising throughout this film.

On the graphic side it got some gore and on the psychological side it takes its toll.

And it does it good!

Great performances by Georgina Campbell, Bill Skarsgård and Justin Long.

Any horror fan should watch this one.

Possibly the best horror film 2022.
