Viciosas al Desnudo

Evil horny hippies!
Following our latest crusade, we continue with a selection of some Spanish "cine de destape" films that are somehow available these days. Whether you understand Spanish or not is completely out of the question since all these films are pretty much extended softcore sex scenes with a few dialog interventions here and there. 

Viciosas y Desnudas (Vicious and Nude (we'll take about the wrong translation below)) is a 1980 Spanish sexploitation film written and directed by Manuel Esteba and starred by starlets Eva Lyberten & Adriana Vega. Unlike our previous entry (La Caliente Niña Julietta) this film does feature an actual plot and it's a remake of the 1977 thriller "Death Game" that featured Seymour Cassel, Sondra Locke and Colleen Camp in lead roles. In 2015, horror director Eli Roth wrote and directed "Knock Knock", the official remake of "Death Game", starring Keanu Reeves, Roth's wife Lorenza Izzo and Ana de Armas. The remake was produced by the female stars of "Death Game", Colleen Camp and Sondra Locke.

Don't invite strangers to your house.
Horny man backfired!
In a nutshell, two unnamed hippie girls (as stated by IMBD in the film's cast list) run out of luck once their car breaks down. Luckily, there's a house nearby to ask for a little room to stay  until the rain is over. The house owner, is Juan Aznar (played by Jack Taylor) a famous and successful writer who's home alone after his wife and kids went on a trip. Opening the door to the unknown horny hippies will leave him with a bittersweet taste he will never forget.

Now, going back to the Vicious and Nude English title of the film, let me tell you how wrong it is. In Spanish "vicioso/a" means depraved or addicted and this is because Vicious & vicioso are false cognates commonly mistaken as sharing the same meaning. In English, to be vicious means to be ferocious, dangerous and even malicious or cruel, so the correct English title for the film should have been "Depraved & Nude". Phew! now that my linguistical doubt is relieved, we can continue with the movie review.

Can I suck your dick?
Let's do some cum swapping.
So, after our helpful man opens the door and allows the two poor girls to take a hot shower, the main drive of the film is revealed, the two mysterious girls are actually twisted manipulative tramps who use sex to play with men until they get full control over them in order to have them doing as they please.

Obviously, there's more than meets the eye and our anti hero girls behave like that because of reasons.  The film does offer a few flashback scenes that weakly explain the origin story of the girls and as for our successful writer man of the family, he isn't necessarily an innocent bystander. Unfortunately, the limited budget or maybe the inexperienced producers involved in the making of this film, simply cannot tell the story right. 

Hey! My pussy needs some loving too!
Let me rub that clit for ya.
If Hispanic sexploitation films are somehow a genre on their own, I'd say the Mexican sexploitation films, AKA "sexy comedia" are clearly recognizable for their comedy centered mood, while the Spanish "cine de destape" tries to be as sexually driven as it can bordering becoming a porno, and also featuring, or trying to feature to be honest, serious stories about cheating, murder, etc.  

Viciosas al Desnudo is obviously out of print since the days of VHS tapes. International releases were only made in Spanish speaking countries and there is no dubbed version of the film in any language. Plans of digitized future releases on both DVD & Blu Ray are non existent to this date, and I humbly think, there will never be an official release of this movie because it isn't a memorable film. This is one of the many Spanish softcore films made to cash in from a brief period of time where these films were popular enough to attract more viewers than the usual masturbators. 

Original film trading cards from 1980.
I've swallowed so much this weekend, I'm proud of myself.
Overall, another forgettable film you could play in the background in a party with friends. The fact that you don't need Spanish to understand what's going on, sums up the quality of the film. The grand finale scene is reminiscent of other rape & revenge films but again, it's not that good. If you're a completist looking for foreign exploitation films, you may want to give this film a try, although the whole Spanish "cine de destape" genre isn't nowhere near as good as films made in Sweden, Germany & Italy.

Here's a fan made 7 minute long trailer:
