FRAUEN BIS ZUM WAHNSINN GEQUÄLT

Minou leads a pampered but dull life with her often absent husband, Peter. One night, Minou is accosted by a mysterious blackmailer telling her that Peter is a killer. In exchange for his silence, Minou gives in to his every perverted whim. But can she handle his increasingly obscene demands?

In favoring psychological tension over the usual slice-and-dice set pieces, this sinuous giallo owes more to Hitchcock and Clouzot than many of its Argento-apeing contemporaries. Directed by the underrated Luciano Ercoli, Forbidden Photos certainly lives up to the promise of its sensational title.
