action
Frank, a wealthy taxidermist , loses his wife Anna to the voodoo spell of his jealous housekeeper Iris. Mad from grief, he digs up the body of his wife, preserves it and puts it in his bed to lead a normal life with his lost love. As this illusory world crumbles over time, he develops a destructive hatred for women. He seduces some women, loves them next to his wife's corpse and then kills her. Iris then helps him to cut up the corpses in order to dissolve them in the bathtub with acid or to burn them. At a dinner with Iris' relatives, she announces her engagement to Frank, which the latter vigorously denies and deeply offends Iris. One day Anna's sister Elena comes to visit. Frank falls in love with her because she looks just like Anna. When Elena discovers her sister's body, she faints , whereupon Iris wants to kill her. Frank prevents this and a fight ensues.
criticism
“Horror film bursting with drastic disgusting scenes about a young man who stuffs his fiancée after her death and kills all young women who come too close to him in brutal blood orgies. A film that can hardly be surpassed in terms of sadism and cynicism. "
"With" Sado - Push the gate to hell "Signore Massaccesi has delivered another, very penetrating and extremely tough genre film, which fully confirms the reservations about him that he had with" Man-Eater ". Thanks to the amateurish sex insoles that are standard in his films, the almost textbook-like dissection and preparation sequences are still bearable. (...) Because the depictions of violence are very extreme, the ban, which was quickly imposed in this country, could be foreseen early on. In terms of content, "Sado - Open the gate to hell" is just as insignificant as the technical dexterity of Massaccesi, especially since the story is astonishingly lengthy. Alternative titles: "Sado Maniac" and "Bloody Wahnsinn". "
"Useless and disgusting speculation on the lowest human instincts."
