It's a shame that it looks like the only version of this movie around is missing about ten minutes of it's run time right at the end of the movie. What is here is pretty interesting. It's basically a softcore porn flick meets a gory horror movie with some annoying artsy touches thrown in. The sex scenes mostly involve some not very attractive people rolling around on beds, also it looked like some of this stuff may have been slightly clipped also. The horror stuff, most notably, involves an upside down castration, eyes gouged out with a knife and an axe murder, all done with terrible but fitting-for-a-low-budget-60s-sex-flick-fx. The artsy-fartsy stuff drags the movie down a lot and even at less than an hour it makes the movie drag. It does help maintain that "freak-out" vibe and make for an interesting weirdo experience. The most entertaining character here is by-far Louie(Louis Waldon) who's a speed-dealing whackjob who burns a lady's ass with his cigar, tells stories about eating monkey brains and is a such a freak as he is told numerous times throughout. He also sets the whole "orgy" in motion and sadly comes to a tragic end. I think maybe the message here is you can't even trust your own family.
The director here, Ron Sullivan went on to make over 300 classic porn films under the name Henri Pachard and you can see that porn aesthetic at work here. AKA THE EROTIC CIRCUS and EXOTIC CIRCUS
