Connianatu How wonderful it is to see this fine actress carry a film and carry it so beautifully.
Livestonth I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible
Murphy Howard I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
Taha Avalos The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.
chrichtonsworld In multiple reviews I read that the director wasn't too happy with the end result. I only can imagine what he had envisioned but I completely disagree.The Washing Machine is an extremely enjoyable modern giallo that is stylish and offers thrills ranging from sexy to freaky. The viewer will get tricked multiple times.Which is a pleasure since most is done by three beautiful and immensely seductive sisters.One hornier than the other.They way they use their sexuality not only offers very titillating and arousing scenes but at the same time really do have a function in the sordid plot.The plot is filled with so many surprises that it is a joy to see what happens next.Not without flaws though.Some developments are left open and maybe only were present to give details about the main character. What I liked most about The Washing Machine that it keeps you guessing about the characters.Once you think you figured them out they do something completely opposite.One last remark,contrary to what the director thought the relatively unknown actresses accomplish what very few can do which is engage the viewer.Absolutely a rewarding viewing experience!
Julos Bergonzellos Pretty movie, remind me those old erotic-thrillers broadcast after 22h. But this is an Italian one. Strange, and furthermore : the director is Ruggero Deodato. The story and characters are strange and this could be a lame erotic-thriller, but it is strange enough to be just acceptable for some viewers or quite good for others.Contains one of the best panties-shot of the soft-porn cinema (during the sequence in the museum). The picture quality is very sharp, very detailed and colourful, like many Italian movies. Like a Gucci ad, but fitted into a Ruggero Deodato erotic thriller. Terrific!One of the actresses, I mean the baby-faced one, have one of the most beautiful face I've ever seen, because her character is strange, mysterious, and the french dubbing (bad, as usual in those movies) make her seem more strange than she is in the original version. All these small elements make me remind her even after a long time.WARNING : SPOILERS down hereAnd the final shot : we see sometimes the evil women winning at the end of those movies (most of the times, men, after being mistreated along the movie, finally win), but in this one, four women are staring at the camera, with a final laughin' echoed, etc. OK, it's cliché, but I like it, it is so naive it becomes sincere, and thus, quite fascinating. Four gorgeous and mysterious women. I'd add it's quite a misogynistic ending, but I don't pay attention to this propaganda, I mean not in those lame kind of movies. Misoginy is very frequent in these, but if you can notice it and not pay attention to it, or even laughin' at it like at bad SPFX, it's OK, see it and you won't be afraid by real women in the reality (I'm not really jokin' sayin' that, 'cos I believed it was true when I was watching these kind of movies when I was 14 or so...). It's a good thing to prohibit these to young teens. I really think it. (I'm so glad to have discovered that women are not dangerous! Yeah!)
gridoon ....when you can rent movies like "The Washing Machine"? Deodato's erotic thriller has (almost) everything you're looking for in a soft-core film, plus...a story! Of course the story lags at times, to allow for some very sexy moments (all three sisters are scorching hot), and the more you think about it, the less sense it makes. But the film does have two effective (if perhaps incomprehensible) twist endings, and a terrific music score. (**1/2)
HumanoidOfFlesh I wasn't expecting too much from this movie-this is surely no "Cannibal Holocaust",but a decent erotic thriller from infamous Ruggero Deodato.It's very well-made,atmospheric and it has some really sensual sex scenes.The acting is pretty good(Polish actress Katarzyna Figura shines here as one of three sisters)and there's an unexpected and rather gross dismemberment scene which reminds me brilliant "Cannibal Holocaust".My evaluation:7 out of 10.Recommended!
