This little drama takes place in the pre-civil war South. Malisa Longo stars as Emmanuelle, who inherits a plantation from her father and runs it with a very stern hand. She believes her slaves are less than human and are made to work until they drop.
Her boyfriend is bitten by a snake and his life is saved by her black maid, which infuriates her. Lawrence (Antonio Gismondo) falls in love with the maid so Emmanuelle takes it out on her slaves and ups the cruelty.
Being shot in Italy it's hard to make anything look like a southern plantation, but they do an ok job in this one. Surprisingly, this movie moves along at a quick pace and provides adequate sleaze for this kind of film.
There are some very cruel moments which are a staple for Italian exploitation films. The ending is very well done with Emmanuelle getting what she has coming to her after dishing out the violence for 90 minutes.
If you like these kinds of films, you'll enjoy this. The print is a little worn, but that just adds to it in my opinion. The Blu-ray is in widescreen and I have to admit I was surprised to see this available on Blu. Not bad.
