Just to be clear, there ain't no virgins in this Japanese sleaze movie.
Who cares? Pinku eiga titles are the best titles out there and sometimes they are descriptive while othertimes they have very little to do with the film itself.
only remotely interesting because of how poorly the women are treated
That monster treats them much nicer, doesn't he?
but the overall stupidity erases any chance it has at being truly disturbing.
Yee, it wasn't too disturbing. I don't think it was supposed to be in the first place, though. I laughed a little bit. I think it was black comedy. :P
The first and second part not only have similar names that often get confused but also were released the same year which makes it even harder to tell them apart but yeah, assuming you're talking about the first part, that is 美女のはらわた (and given your plot synopsis it is that), I agree it's not that great.
Here's what I had to say (admittedly not much) about all parts of this trilogy:
処女のはらわた [Guts of a Virgin] (1986) -
Since not too many Hisayasu Sato unseen flicks are left (some gay ones, ones with no English subtitles, some newer ones, a comedy one and a kinky Rashomon one) I'm looking for something similar. This flick wasn't similar at all. It was a weird black comedy. The wrestling scene was particularly funny. I wish this guy performed a german suplex on her and she would stay unconscious till the end of the film.
美女のはらわた [Entrails of a Beautiful Woman] (1986) -
The second part of the trilogy. A much better offering than
Guts of a Virgin, although the premise is more or less the same, this flick is much better at almost everything and the main female protagonist is beyond exquisite.
拷問貴婦人 [Rusted Body: Guts of a Virgin III] (1987) -
The last in the Guts of a Virgin trilogy and a little bit better than the first one, both inferior to the great second part. There is a lot going on here. An old grandpa apparently invented a machine of sexual pleasure that electrocuts (?) people in it and somehow transmits their pleasure to the people next to them. To me it was an improved version of orgone accumulator (there even was a bloody orb visible - flat Earth theory confirmed!). Seriously, though, this also has a filthy eel torture (I will let your imagination work here) and a life or death sexual duel between two girls and a man. The climax (oops, I did it again) is super-brutal, but the girls are nice, if you know what I mean. And I'm really surprised to find quotes like these on the screen above in pinku eiga film. This looks like taken straight from Kurosawa film, or something.

) it seemed an apposite time to revisit the original as babysitting duties for teenager Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis) turn into a terrifying battle for survival when escaped madman Michael Myers decides to come home for Halloween... Still a classic after all these years, Halloween has lost none of its power to scare and seems, much like 1974's Black Christmas, both very 70s and yet oddly timeless at the same time.
