As drug use gets out of control at a small college, one of the professors (Alex Rebar, The Incredible Melting Man himself and the writer of Demented and To All a Goodnight, as well as a contributing writer to Beyond the Door.
This starts off just right - a crazy theme, trippy visuals and Ewa Aulin (Candy, Death Laid an Egg) getting her groove on - before Dr. John, worried that the college's reputation is being tarnished by all the drug use, particularly when one of his fellow professors takes one of those Dragnet acid trips and thinks he can fly.
The scheming professor decides to work with one of the nerdier kids to take a heroin addict named Billy (Carlo De Mejo, The House by the Cemetery, The Other Hell) and appoints himself the troubled youth's personal savior. But then his wife - there's Ewa Aulin - decides to try some of the horse for herself and things get out of hand.
Billy decides that this would the perfect time to test the masculinity of his captor and try to cuck him, which seems to be a bad idea when white knighting teacher takes you against your will. I mean, this is a movie with the line, "Elizabeth, have you ever seen your husband's penis? John, have you ever seen your own penis?"
With a title like this one and Aulin appearing, along with De Mejo, it's easy to think that this is a giallo. To be honest, even this movie has no idea what it is.
To be fair, this movie is a total mess, but a fascinating one. It was directed by a man named John Shadow, who some thought was Joe D'Amato - if only! - but it turns out that he was married to Aulin for four years and had a son together named Shawn. He used his own money to produce this movie and it ended up playing nowhere in the world.
Seriously, Shadow is a conspiracy figure. According to IMDB, in spite of numerous newspaper and magazine articles, photos, discographies, interviews with Aulin, the existence of their Swiss-born son, people think that Shadow was really Italian producer Roberto Loyola (I mean, on IMDB, he's listed as using the name John Shadow to write Pieces and to direct Tales of Canterbury, a movie that D'Amato was also thought to have made). I mean, Shadow even wrote the songs for this movie and people still think he's Loyola.
These are the strange mysteries that this somewhat lost movie has swirling around it. As they say, the story of the movie is better than the movie itself. To add to the occult nature of this one, the copy I found is a beat up Greek VHS* that was uploaded to YouTube and is well-nigh unwatchable. And yet, I watched it just the same.
*According to Oblivion DVD, there are only two copies of this movie left in existence.
