The Coming of Sin


The Coming of Sin (1978) N

A superstitious gypsy girl comes to live with a reclusive female artist. The girl has nightmares about a man that stalks her while riding naked across the countryside. When the man arrives to the house a hot and twisted love triangle begins.


I had absolutely no idea how the movie was gonna be. Some reviews compared it to Jess Franco films which to me is a bad sign (only tried one though but couldn't even finish it). It ended up being a mix of softcore porn, Harlequin romance, erotic thriller and arthouse film made with really small budget.

The Coming of Sin is quite beautifully shot film. Especially the dream segments have great atmosphere and are very good looking for the money. Soundtrack is also very fitting, Spanish guitar stuff that sounds awesome. Acting is OK and there's good chemistry between the trio.

It's quite hot and sexy film that uses every opportunity to show some skin. The erotic tension is pretty well built. The ending is little forced and writing in general is little lazy. The Coming of Sin isn't exactly my type of film but I was pleasantly surprised by its overall quality. Will need to find some of the more liked films by Larraz as this one's apparently one of his lesser films.
