Compared are the Italian Version, released on tape by AVO Film, and the US Version, released on DVD by Mondo Macabro.

The story:

Tonya is in charge of a school in a small village, she's also responsable for the children's religious education. Full of lust, she predicts that sex is evil. One day her sister Selda and her new boyfriend appear. Due to Selda's swinging appearance it becomes harder for Tonya to keep her image of an innocent woman alive. The situation escalates when Selda starts hitting on Simon, one of the inhabitants.


A very astonishing and courageous film, produced by Elwood Perez in 1985, with the former Miss Philippines Maria Isabel Lopez. Main subjects of the film are lust and sebastomania which culminates in the death of several people.


The different versions:

Besides the Greek Tape, released by Jaconda Video (only the final scene is missing), the film was released on Tape in Italy as well. Unfortenately the Italian Version was extremly cut. Not only some plot scenes but also some sex and violent scenes are missing. The film was dubbed in Italian and, similar to the Greek Version, the image is open matte.
In the meantime Mondo Macabro released the film on DVD. The quality of the images is absolutely terrific and the opportunity to select the original Tagalog Dub with optional English subtitles is given as well. The bonus stuff of this DVD is also persuading. It contains interviews with Elwood Perez, Maria Isabel Lopez and Alferdo Santos. Furthermore there are text boxes with a lot of background information on the bonus DVD.

Small jump cuts aren't mentioned.
