So, "the hands..."
No, "the monster's horrid claws touched Melissa's body..."
"And then..."
What are you writing?
My new masterpiece
Ah.... More filth
Full of crime, monsters horror and rape...
all that stuff
A little respect for art, please. My muse calls...
- Fancy the beach? - In this weather?
- It's all just water - In this case, cold water
Who are you meeting?
Just friends
Are these friends six foot tall and called Tom?
Who? What? Tom? You're mad.
See? So predictable
Of course, Tom
All right, Tom
Whatever you want, Tom
See you later, Tom
- So, was it Tom? - Tom? No.
- Why are you lying? - Who says I am?
- Spare me - What if it was him?
- He's married - I'm not jealous
He's a swine, you can tell
How can you tell?
His eyes
But of course
All men who look at me are swine, if they don't look at you
There's a new theory
Tells the character of a man by the colour of his eyes
Professor Steiner's theory
- How does it go? - The whites of the eye...
- Don't laugh, it's true - Of course.
You should listen to what I say...
That man is a swine.
Listen to me, Carole, Tom's a good friend
He's really very nice and his wife is too
But in your imagination you only see monsters...
vampires attacking their victims...
howling wolves and ogres and...
and fountains of blood.
Sadistic perverts, sex maniacs, killers...
crime and rape and sleaze everywhere
Your ex Naval Officer awaits...
"He took her hand..."
"and caressed her slowly"
Come here, darling. Come and look
Look down there
It's strange... see?
Looks like a woman
Let's go and see
No, I don't want to...
The house on the island...
Help me...
They're going to kill me
To... to kill me.
But I... I escaped
A man with black glasses... Looking for me...
My twin sister had disappeared ...on the island
I had to find her
My sister was afraid
...of the island...
Those rocks...
Those rocks....
They warned of death.
But I had to go on
He wouldn't go any closer
I had to swim there
Swim to that house
Swim all the way to that evil house
I was exhausted
The place... was silent
Deserted
Like a cemetery
I was afraid
I felt I was being watched
Watched from up there
I was scared to death
But I had to go on
A couple... A strange couple
Count and Countess Zaroff...
They live on the island
They invited me to... stay with them
I became their guest
It's delicious, well done Rador
- I hope our guest agrees - It's exquisite. Very unusual
Different and unique
Not for us. We're used to it now
My dear wife introduced me to this type of meat
Sometimes us women have to push their men to try new things
This all seems very mysterious
It's a strange feeling
What sort of meat is this?
Rador...
You'll soon find out all about this meat
Ivanna will enjoy telling you
Isn't that so?
It's wild game. I hunt it myself
And Rador cooks it
Let's have coffee in the lounge
Rador has a special blend
He's a fascinating man. I can see why you're so in love
We share many tastes
We enjoy hunting, fine dining and succulent meals
It's good to share one's pleasures
What are these heads?
Aren't they amazing?
Do you like them?
I'm proud of them and my husband loves them
They are great mementos
A wild boar from Hungary
A bear from Crimea
The deer is from Austria...
The puma from Llanos
The head from Amazonia
What is it? What do you want?
We want you
Take her. Take her.
No... Let me go
Take her.
Harder.
Get me the syringe
Quiet now. Calm down
They wanted.. to kill me.
So what now?
Take her back to the island?
Yes, who's speaking, please?
Sylvia, it's for you.
- Who is it? - It's Tom
Great
Yes, I'm waiting... No, I won't hang up
Miss Sylvia Aguado, please
Orders from the Countess, she wants a new victim
Hello, Sylvia. Were you asleep?
It's ten already
Why not come here for lunch?
No, it's not like that
We'll expect you then?
Yes, we'll talk about that
Right, in an hour then
That was Tom
He's invited me to go with him and his wife...
to a rich couple's island
You're going?
- Sure, why not? - But darling...
it's far too risky
I don't care
Don't be afraid, Bob. I know you're taking a risk...
but we've no choice if we want to escape from here
Go far away and forget all about this
To escape we need money and to get that we need them
I just hope it works
- So, Sylvia, having fun? - Yes, it's wonderful here
You're lucky to live in such a place
Nothing to do but lie in the sun...
...breathe the clean air, lulled by the waves
You're right
But you're staying near the sea, aren't you?
Yes, but in a cheap hotel
And only for ten days holiday
In a horrible room with no view of the sea
Listen, Sylvia, I've got an idea...
Why don't you move in here?
An excellent idea. We can all three have fun together
Do you like Bob?
Yes, he's a nice chap.
That's all? I'm not the jealous type
You can tell me
But he's your husband
That's not a problem. I like him to have fun
And sometimes I might even join in
What do you mean?
Move in here. I want you... I think I love you
Forget that nonsense about your hotel
Come and live here
I can't... You're foolish.
Yes, he's foolish.
That's why I love him. And you will too
Now, stop worrying
- Let's go get your things - Alright, but I'll do it
I'll be back in half an hour
See? That was easy
I knew it would be
I feel like laughing. She's so stupid
What are you up to?
Why?
I'm going to spend the weekend with friends who know very rich people
Who have a wonderful house on a small island out there
Apparently with wonderful views
You know it could be dangerous?
Even deadly.
- You think so? - I'm not joking
Your lovely couple are eccentrics
With strange ideas
You don't know anything about their friends
And then this island...
that you know nothing about
Anything can happen on an island
Gang rape, sadistic crimes...
Oh yes, islands are so dangerous
Honolulu, Puerto Rico, The Bahamas, Hawaii
What about the island of Dr. Moreau...
The island of Fu Manchu, the island of Count Zaroff...
I've not been asked to spend the weekend with any of them
I want you
I need you
The touch of you drives me wild.
Your skin... so sensual
Your lips, so enticing
Come, don't leave me alone
Sylvia... Come here
That's enough, it's my turn now
Dirty bitch.
I wish we could stay here
Come on, get dressed. They're waiting for us
Come on, let's go
This house frightens me
Don't be silly
- She's beautiful, isn't she Rador? - Yes, quite charming
A real jewel...
...for a collector like me
Yes, Sylvia, it's a pleasure for us to know someone so lovely
Right, Rador?
A great pleasure. You are sweet and tender
How old are you, my child?
Who cares...?
She's here...
...she's a looker. What more do you need?
Forgive me, Mr Nubar, I didn't mean to offend you
You don't
Are you two finished? Listen here...
You don't talk to the Count like that
He just wanted to know more about our guest
- You know we love such details - You bet I know
Please, Bob, don't be so rude
Bob is a man with strong passions
Had his education been as strong, he'd be perfect
I don't bear grudges. And to prove it...
Here's the best piece of meat
Keep it, I don't want it
Control yourself
I'm sorry, he's not been himself these last days
So I see. Maybe you should leave
Your illness might prove dangerous
I'll be fine now
Poor Bob, he struggles with the pleasures of the flesh
That's it, I'm off. I want no part of your vile orgies
Shame, he's usually such a sweet boy
Yes, he's very sweet
Do you like our favourite meat, Sylvia?
Don't ask the sweet girl to lie. This meat is rather tough
Not up to our usual standard
But next time... Sorry - you won't be here
Why?
It's likely
- Am I upsetting you? - On the contrary
Just that you will have already left by the time we start cooking
Oh yes, that's a fact
Already left, indeed
It's so lovely here
Yes, it is... Spectacular
But I prefer... the beauty of the human body
I didn't hear you come in
I thought you might need something to wear in bed
Thanks. But... where's Moira? Is she asleep already?
Yes. She was very tired
She's quite delicate
Is that a problem?
Yes, because I really like her
- You'd like to play with her? - We already have
I'll do my best to help you forget Moira
I'll be back once Rador is asleep
Sylvia, what are you doing?
Leave her be, my dear. She's curious like all children
You know, it's no easy task to cut off a human head
It's hard work
Come, my dear
Come and help us
A fine trophy... for my little collection
But it's monstrous... How could you...?
We'll keep the rest of her body
She's magnificent. Her flesh will be so tender
Moist...
Her breasts are superb
They're my favourite parts
You eat human flesh?
Of course
And so do you
That meat you enjoyed so much, it was human flesh
You're completely insane. It's horrible
Come, my child, don't upset yourself. Reject nothing that gives pleasure
Don't be so conventional. Admit you enjoyed the meal
She's dim, but she's certainly juicy
I think we're going to have fun, my dear
Yet another fine feast day
It'll soon be dawn
Why prolong my torture?
I know what you want
You want to kill me
Put my head next to those...
...those other poor innocents
That would be too easy
And far too cheap for us. We're artists
You have no conception of the nobility of certain emotions
I, Countess Zaroff, am incapable of killing in cold blood
I love the hunt... The game of life and death
I always give my prey a chance to escape
At dawn we shall let you loose
Exactly ten minutes later, my sweet, I will hunt you down with my bow
If we have not caught you when the church clock strikes 9...
You will be free
And I myself will take you back to dry land
These are the rules of the game. Or else...
Or else you become a tender and succulent roast for our table
The birds are already singing. It is dawn...
Let it begin
Murderers....
Did it go well?
Very well. We'll get 2 million for her
Why?
I'll call the police. You hear me? I'll do it...
I don't think you'll do that
You're involved in this too
I've waited for this moment so long, my love
For me, you will be the best meal of my life
Wake up, Sylvia.
You're alright? You're not hurt?
You're sure? What happened?
What...?
I was so afraid
I read in the newspaper...
a girl was found on an island, shot by an arrow
But that wasn't me
Look, I'm fine
You spent the weekend with them?
Well... No
This time I realised you were right
- That man is a swine. - Oh, I'm so happy
I really like you, Sylvia
Really?
