Innocent young Eugenie (Marie Liljedahl) is taken to an island paradise where she is initiated into a world of pleasure and pain controlled by the sinister Dolmance (Christopher Lee). But when she surrenders to her own forbidden fantasies, Eugenie becomes trapped in a frenzy of drugs, sadomasochism, and murder. Can a frightened girl in the grip of carnal perversion find sanctuary in the orgies of the depraved? (official distributor synopsis)

For a Jesús Franco movie, Eugenie is surprisingly well filmed and edited! What’s more, it was made in a beautiful, atmospheric location on a deserted island surrounded by ocean mist. It’s thus even more regrettable how modest the director is about sex and deviancy, and how he himself doesn’t know what he wants to say in the final resolution. The subtle, seductive scent of forbidden fruit is present, but you will be far from reaching orgasm. Much farther than with his “best” films. And that’s a shame, because this subject could have been brewed into a different cup of tea.
