Plot introduction
In a genre defined by shocking violence and psychosexual kink, it remains perhaps the most over-the-top "giallo" in EuroCult history: former MGM starlet and doomed James Dean paramour Pier Angeli (two decades past her Golden Globe award for "Most Promising Newer" and just one year before her tragic death) star in this ultra-lurid epic packed with decapitations, pet vultures, creepy incest, groovy fashions, cyanide baths, swirly psychedelics, inexplicable plot twists, Nazi death camp flashbacks and more. Eleonora Rossi Drago, Fernando Sancho and Luciano Catenacci co-star in the 1970 sickie that would make Sigmund Freud himself scream in horror. Unfortunately, IN THE FOLDS OF THE FLESH is presently only available with an English-dubbed dialogue track. [Dubbing is generally avoided whenever possible (though not an option in this particular instance).]
