La Casa Della Paura (aka The Girl In Room 2A) (1974)

A young woman (Daniela Giordano) recently released from prison is sent to a boarding house where mysterious things are going on. The house is a front for a sadistic cult intent on "purifying" wayward girls. Directed by William Rose (THE SMUT PEDDLER). A rather ludicrous giallo with unpleasant torture scenes and gratuitous nudity. But it's so ineptly made that one can't be offended by it. There's no style or atmosphere (de rigueur for a decent giallo), no sense of dread or impending doom. The two leads (Giordano and John Scanlon) are attractive enough but don't have enough presence to hold our attention. With Raf Vallone (and what is he doing in something like this?), Karin Schubert, Rosalba Neri, Brad Harris, Frank Latimore and Angelo Infanti.
