Belle da morire 2

This 2005 movie is only available with Italian audio, at least to the best of my knowledge, so it was a task to watch... However, just a few minutes in, I noticed something only the master Bruno Mattei himself could get away with. 95% of this movie is Ljuba (a.k.a. Body and Soul from 1996) with different audio and character names!!! I mean, literally, it's the same cast (despite different actor names and different names in the movie. Ljuba being replaced by Louise for example,) same scenes and footage (just moved around slightly with some stuff cut out,) same... well... everything! OK, OK, there are a couple of scenes that are in fact new (which look like deleted scenes from Ljuba and Belle Da Morire) - totaling 8 minutes tops. So why is this a 5 out of 10? Because it's Bruno Mattei! I suggest this flick only for die hard fans. Oh, as you probably know, this is more of a softcore / drama / boring entry as opposed to any sort of horror or action.

Actually really amusing late Bruno Mattei's mixture of energetic softcore and crime. Looks like classic of late 80s. All the women are raped and rape for money... It has some gore moments. The movie is fast and easy. It has many dark moments and sleaze as well. Pure Italian style. The ladies look and act quite good. But it is still Mattei's cut and mix style. This film has parts used in his 1999 film Snuff Trap. But the film itself looks even better than that effort. When I saw the film I was glad that it has many great visuals and suspense as well. Great effort in showing dirty relationships and how sometimes behave money-oriented people. Makes sense and fun www.myspace.com\neizvest Grachev Andrey
