YOUNG, FREE 'N' KINKY BUT FOR HOW LONG?

Also known as Â‘Dirty Pictures', this fabulously trippy sexploitation thriller from Umberto Lenzi (Paranoia, Cannibal Ferox, Nightmare City) is a lost classic long unavailable to fans of classy kinky flicks. In the now increasingly common madness that appears to grip Shameless they've dug-up never-before-seen lost footage of the eye-popping kind to present this world-first complete edit of Oasis of Fear. In addition to that the movie is being made available for the first time with the long-sought after and thought-to-be-lost English sound dub.
Two young sexually free hippies, Dick (Ray Lovelock) and Ingrid (Ornella Muti) finance their travels by selling naked snaps of Ingrid until their plan is brought to an abrupt end by the Police. Forced on the run the two seek refuge at a seemingly empty isolated large villa. As it turns out the house is inhabited by the middle-aged Barbara (Irene Papas) who invites them in for some potential three-way hanky-panky that soon locks them into something far more twisted and chilling!

Set to a toe-tapping catchy pop score and filled with deliciously naked female flesh this is also an intriguingly dreamy giallo from the underrated Lenzi that chills into a suspense-ridden climax.

Oasis of Fear (cert. 18) is released uncut on DVD by Shameless Screen Entertainment. The film will be presented as a world-first Shameless rebuild edit, remastered in 2.35:1 with English 2.0 sound. Also included on the disc is a comprehensive Shameless subtitle commentary fact track and an original trailer gallery.

Anecdotes
Umberto Lenzi wanted to make a hippie road movie in the vein of Easy Rider (1969), but producer Carlo Ponti insisted the film be a more typical "giallo", even suggesting the casting of Carroll Baker. Ponti forced Lenzi to change the main characters from drug dealers to pornographers.

Gaffes
The Italian headline of the newspaper article on Dick and Ingrid's escape translates as "Police Search for 2 Young Germans", but Dick has already been identified by the police as British in a previous scene.

Citations
Dick Butler: [to Barbara, throwing down the money she left him, assumedly as a gift for "services rendered" during illicit sex the night before] You petty little middle class bitch! Here, this belongs to you! At first I thought you'd taken me for a whore.

Générique farfelu
End titles contain a rare credit for a stand-in: Antonia Santilli for both principal females.

AKA Dirty Pictures

I watched this for the first time on DVD last night, at 84:34 minutes it is apparently the longest available version. The picture quality was pretty weak at times and occasionally the language switched from English to Italian but hey, this is all part of the joys of being a fan of Euro sex, sleaze, thriller and horror movies. Directed by Umberto Lenzi, the man who started the notorious cycle of gory Italian cannibal movies, Oasis of Fear is a much different genre, it does contain one or two suspenseful moments (the one in the bird aviary is good) but I would not call this a proper Giallo movie. More of a sexy and fun thriller. Ray Lovelock and his gorgeous girlfriend Ornella Muti play a very young couple (I make her a mere 16 when she filmed this) travelling across Italy, selling pornographic photos of themselves but when their delightful little British MG sports car runs out of fuel they seek refuge at a large villa, owned by the strange Irene Papas. This is where things start to get interesting. The movie is sexy, groovy, fun and at times suspenseful, I wouldn't call it a classic by any means but for anybody who enjoys Euro movies from this period then it is worth seeing. The sex and nudity aspect is quite tame. Watch out for the crazy guy on a motorbike who speaks an curious and amusing mix of English and Italian!
