Widow Blue!

Widow Blue! (1970)

** 1/2 (out of 4)

Ultra bizarre film has lovers Eve (Susan Wescott) and Nick (Alex Elliot) agreeing to kill each other's spouses so that they can run off together. Even forces her brother to seduce Nick's bi-sexual husband and soon enough blood is flowing.

Walt Davis' WIDOW BLUE! is without question one of the stranger hardcore films as it mixes in a bunch of sex with some rather gory violence. The film really does come across as your typical sex film but then out of nowhere it likes to throw is some Herschell Gordon Lewis style gore. If you're looking for something a tad bit different then this will be right up your alley but then again, all of Davis' films are rather strange.

This one here really benefits from some bizarre scenes of violence. To be fair, there are only two scenes of violence but both of them are very well-done and features some extremely bright red blood that just leaps off the screen at you. There's no question that these scenes appeared to be influenced by the gore films of Lewis but of course you've also got hardcore sex scenes here.

I thought Wescott was actually pretty good in her role as she was quite attractive and seductive. The film was obviously shot on a very low budget but if you're a fan of these types of films then it's worth watching.
