| Summary: | "A Freudian psycho-sexual drama following a young beauty Vita, modeling for a painting of Virgin Mary. Albert, the painter, senses the awakening of Vita's libido, and by night occurs in the form of a giant spider and sexually possesses her. The film builds up to the final battle between good and evil, played out against Vita's sexual self-exploration."--IMDb. "This Latvian shot, Russian language film was produced in the post Glasnost years of the former Soviet Union. This is one of the very few sex-horror films to come out of that period and still stands today as a daring and unique production, packed with elaborate and astonishing visual sequences of morbid eroticism"--Diabolik DVD website. |
