Blistering performances.

It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

Katsuhiko Fujii, whose output has mostly been very dull and repetitive S & M-oriented opuses, tries something with a little more meat here.Influenced by Craven's LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT and Fruet's superior THE HOUSE BY THE LAKE, the story involves two siblings (women, of course) whose apartment is invaded by a psycho with rape and torture on his mind.But what sounds like potentially volcanic material is squandered on Fukii because he's not up to the task, technically, of visually essaying the potential horror of this stock set-up.Sisters Rei Akasaka and Megumi Kiyosato are strong opposition to Kiriko Shimuzu's headcase and are carnally alluring, but the uncreative coverage of the atrocities blunts the overall effect.Like Sato's LOLITA VIBRATOR TORTURE, this is all pregnancy and no delivery.English title: FLESH SLAVES: BEAUTIFUL SIBLINGS
