I use it often and I have said it often and a lot ... but I really mean it this time: no pun intended. We are talking about trafficking ... and that is no fun ... well unless a movie like this goes full on "fantasy" mode of course. Acting is sub par to say the least ... but while it starts off strong ... it kind of just has one sex scene after the next after that.

Actually I challenge anyone to put together 5 minutes where you don't have any nudity at all .. well you probably can find enough material for this ... but you get the gist ... this has a lot of sex and nudity. Actually I am surprised there is not explicit version of this movie - at least that is what everyone is saying. On the other hand, this goes beyond softcore ... actually quite a few times you do not just see genitalia ... but "excited" (read erect) penises ... while I did not do any freeze frames to check, there may even be penetration ... why am I saying all this? So you can't say you have not been warned ... is there a story though? Yes barely, but there is one ... not a good one though and quite the irritating one .. and cringe worthy to say the least ... family is not always having your back ...

Jenny (Susan Hemingway, whose entire acting career consists of being in Jess Franco's Voces de muerte, Erotic Symphony, Two Female Spies with Flowered Panties, Elles font tout, Women in Cellblock 9 and Love Letters of a Portuguese Nun) is the virginal daughter of a prominent industrialist.

Tom (Didier Aubriot) and Lorna (Brigitte Lahaie, a woman that Jean Rollin described as perfect; she's in so many films but let's go with Faceless and Fascination) kidnap her and sell her into white slavery, but once they learn what she's really worth, they steal her back and ransom her to her father.

Stephen Thrower says that this movie is Jess realizing just how boring making sex on film is and feeling trapped. How strange and sad is it that he'd have nearly thirty more years to go and that this can be a high point against where he'd go in the years that follow?

The Jess Franco Cinematic Universe is a proven fact. Here, we can see an aphrodisiac gas that traps women in sexual servitude, which also happens in Shining Sex and Blue Rita. It's the feeling that that gas gives that leads to the title of this film, which is either I'm Burning Everywhere or Burning Up Inside.

The second moment of the JFCU is when Al Pereira shows up, played by Jean Ferrère.

This is one dark and grimy film, a movie that feels like the scummiest porn you've ever seen and yet doesn't show anything explicit. It just feels rough, it feels wrong, it feels greasy and slimy and gross. Then again, any excuse to spend time with Lahaie is worth it, right? And I say all of the above with admiration because how else would I have watched 69% of all Jess Franco movies by now?

Susan Hemingway hooks up with a guy at a discoteque (GREAT disco scene!), has unwilling sex (Brigitte Lahaie joins in on the action) and is drugged and sold off to a "deluxe bordello" where a bunch of dirty, moaning girls are kept in a constant state of excitement by some sort of sex-gas that is pumped into their living quarters. This is film has almost non-stop softcore sex but is still interesting for a francophile due to the dark subject matter and claustrophobic, sweaty atmosphere. There is no happy sex in this film, only rape, perversion, sadism and unfulfillment (as usual in Franco's world). Very low budget film, even by Franco's standard, Franco does the best to cover up the absence of a budget, a descent crew and good locations with some interesting/eccentric camera work and angles. I liked it, but it's almost impossible to discuss in terms of "good" and "bad" and I wouldn't recommend to anybody who haven't been bitten by the Franco bug.
