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 quite extraordinary film about a young woman who discovers that after having sex with her men dissolve within her leaving just a pile of clothing. This is very low budget and the actors struggle a little with a sometimes awkward script but had this bold film been made say by a big budget Japanese company it would have been virtually unwatchable. Here Wolfgang also mixes in humour and so again the otherwise very bleak tale is lightened somewhat. I didn't like the way the male lead performed but imagine this was at the instigation of the director who wanted the portrayal to be of a 'sensitive' male. Unfortunately Wolfgang seems to confuse' sensitivity' with being moronic and when the character speaks of picking flowers in the park with such a spooky voice we sense true craziness. Some great moments and overall a slice of something very different.
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.

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.

Am I the only one to think that this is a bad movie?
I admit that horror movies often lack things like a big story or good acting or even good special effects. But the way these deficiencies come together in this movie is surprisingly pitiful.
Miserable story: The idea of a raped vagina that takes revenge by turning into a man eater sounds quite funny, but what the writer made out of it is stupid.
Bad acting: The actors move like marionettes. They play and look like people, who really try hard but completely fail to act.
Bad FX: Especially the explosion of the Van looks unspeakably cheap.
It is surprising that a director who made some nice movies during his carrier changes over to such messy stuff.
