Penetration Angst

If you are looking for something "leftfield" and not too serious, then this is the film for you. It's not going to win any awards for acting and the script is at times wayward and unnecessary but it's fun nonetheless. I probably would have enjoyed this more if they had cut the running time down to around 60-70 minutes and therefore cutting out chunks that were just padding out the film (the cellar scene and most of the last segment of film in particular). I've given this film 6 out of 10 because for me it wasn't sharp enough at times and it seemed to lose it's way towards the end. Otherwise it's a worthy watch and throws up some memorable scenes.

"Penetration Angst" is a very low-budget film directed by Wolfgang Büld. It has a promising story – there's a beautiful girl with a carnivorous vagina. She lives in London, her name is Helen (Fiona Horsey), and her good looks transform her into a lethal weapon – her way is strewn with corpses and blood. Some people will think that "Penetration Angst" is a carnival of sleaze and gore, but nothing of the sort. Fiona Horsey is very easy on the eyes, all along the film she's seen wearing scanty clothes, and some bits of nudity (body parts) are shown and that's that. As to gore, no, no, nothing - we see just the remaining clothes, the owner has disappeared. There was not enough money for the special effects. Anyway, in what concerns sex, one can't say the film is not erotic – Fiona Horsey and, sometimes other girls, take care of that.

I think that "Penetration Angst" was inspired by "Baby Blood"(France, 1990), only "Baby Blood" is a much better film. It tells the story of a pretty woman that works in a circus – one night when she's sleeping she's penetrated by a weird snake. From then on, she carries within her an alien being that will demand blood and more blood. So she will attract men to their doom – she seduces them with her beauty and she kills them. She needs blood to keep her creature alive. This is not done of her free will – her alien baby has a hold on her.

Wolfgang Büld adapted the story and transformed the "alien baby" into a carnivorous vagina – not a bad idea at all! If he had developed more his ideas and there had been more freedom (the film was made in the UK and had to be approved by the BBFC), then maybe he could have given us a genre masterpiece. As it is, the film is entertaining, with some touches of comedy, the girls are pretty and the story is ridiculous as it should be.

This is not a XXX-porno but it is hard to describe this movie without using words that will be deleted from a censorship. It is a Ken Russelleque movie about every kind of sexual addiction and this is really funny!!! It is horror with a lot of fun, maybe a little bit to long, but what shells? You will see more than three scenes that you will never forget and the actress is beautiful - ACHTUNG! It is very british but nothing for the society of Merchant/Ivory-fans!!!

Good European horror B-movie. And apparently in Britain you get more for your movie-making buck. The gore effects are pretty good, there's a lot of filming on location on an island, on the streets of London. That's always a nice deviation from the annoying in-studio filming. I have no problem with the acting. Fiona in particular does a great job, considering the outrageous things she's asked to do. She's cute and seems like a fun girl who's up for anything. Most importantly, the script is excellent. You'll see things here that you'll never see in an American movie and it's quite creepy and there are a lot of surprises. But it's not perverse or mean-spirited. In fact, there could have been more nudity. If you're looking for something different than the typical sanitized PG-13 horror, or orgies of fake-blood, this is a movie worth seeing.

A traumatic childhood experience has left attractive brunette Helen (Fiona Horsey) with serious intimacy issues, but matters are made much worse when she is raped by her boyfriend and finds that she possesses the sexual equivalent of the Bermuda Triangle between her legs—any man who dares venture near her voracious vagina vanishes without trace! After a catastrophic visit to the gynaecologist that sees her cooch claim another victim, the distraught Helen leaves for London, with concerned love-struck loser Dennis (Paul Conway) in hot pursuit.

Not content with Penetration Angst simply exploring the age-old vagina dentata myth, writer/director Wolfgang Büld also sees fit to add several equally bizarre subplots, including Dennis's awkward relationship with Siamese twin Sylvia (Amy Steel), and a pub stripper planning an armed robbery on the Isle of Wight; the result is a chaotic, darkly humorous film full of violence and nudity (with Horsey spending much of her time naked) that delivers messed-up madness by the bucket-load, but which tries a touch too hard to accommodate every twisted idea that Büld could come up with.

At 102 minutes long, the film ultimately outstays its welcome (it could do with being at least fifteen minutes shorter) but not before delivering such delightfully deranged moments as Dennis accidentally shagging Sylvia's sister and separating the girls with an electric bread-knife, a man pulled tongue first into Helen's insatiable snatch (which moans 'Feeed meee' just like Audrey II in The Little Shop of Horrors), a newlywed Helen being humped by her father-in-law (with inevitable results), and Dennis applying yogurt to his sun-burnt bell-end.
