Story in a nutshell: The exquisite Tania (Maria Isabel Lopez) lives in a tiny, primitive seaside village on the Phillipine island of Ilano, where the chief products seems to be sand and buffalo meat. She is horny and secretly lusts after Simon, the local stud who apparently has no shirts to wear. She is also a traditional Catholic, the local schoolteacher and religious leader. She sometimes goes into spiritual ecstasy/uncontrollable fits of horniness, to which the befuddled children respond by throwing sand on her as she rolls around on the ground. Her childhood friend Selda returns after fleeing the stifling island environment for the bustling metropolis of Manila, where she has learned how to be aggressively seductive and “liberated.” Although she has her boyfriend Ronald in tow, the conservative villagers forbid the two to stay in the same shack. Selda sets about luring Simon away from his equally-lascivious girlfriend and engaging the children in sex education. Long story short, village life quickly goes into a downward spiral. Men slap their women around, the women engage in catfights, Tania freaks out and is relieved of her schoolteacher duties. Villagers are appalled at the turn of events and wonder WTF is going on. (A mystical amulet may be involved, I couldn’t tell) Eventually, Tania and Selda reconcile and celebrate their rekindled friendship by lolling around on the beach in their birthday suits.

Unbeknownst to them, a naked Simon accidentally kills a horny young schoolgirl whose only crime was being overly curious about his enormous wang. In retaliation, the younger children who are the only witnesses, gang up on Simon, take turns stabbing him, and finally sever his head with an axe.

In the maniacal final act the villagers, egged on by Simon’s jealous girlfriend, decide that Tania and Selda are responsible for the killings and everything else that has gone wrong. They band together and march to the shore, chase the naked pair along the beach and around the island, pelting them with rocks. Finally captured, the girls are tied (still starkers) arms outstretched on the floor of a grass hut (however, their feet are not bound, dammit), where they scream and cry and await their fate. Meanwhile a bunch of village males who are standing guard outside the hut awaiting the deliberations of the other villagers realize that they have a golden opportunity here. So they get plastered on some apparently home-made brew, doff their clothing and pile into the hut for a major gang-bang party. The rest of the villagers decide that Tania and Selda must die, approach the hut with torches, chase the rapists out, and set fire to the grass shelter. The final conflagration, and screams and struggles of the young women, close out the movie.

Hell, I don’t know what kind of grade to give this mess, so I’ll settle for a C.

I think everyone should see this movie, just for the helluvit. It may help assure you of your own sanity. Try to get a non-dubbed version, with subtitles or without. Or turn the sound off. Doesn’t matter, the plot is secondary to what’s visible on-screen. Best way to view it is to invite over any non-PC friends you still have left, provide plenty of brewskis, and popcorn to throw at the screen (the non-buttery kind that doesn’t leave stains).
