Trivia:
Though dated 1975 in IMDb to correspond with its release year in France, this was filmed at the beginning of 1970 following the shooting of _Nachts, wenn Dracula erwacht (1970)_ (cv). Confusing matters, it is unrelated to Franco's _Eugenie (1970)_ (cv), starring Marie Liljedahl, despite the commonality of titles. moreFAQ

This is my favorite film directed by the alternately brilliant and seemingly talentless Jesus (Jess) Franco. I had already seen a good many of his films and this one stood out as the best of the lot. Since then I've seen over a hundred of his movies, and EUGENIE DE SADE still strikes me as being his masterpiece.
Soledad Miranda gives the performance of her short career as the naive innocent who is drawn into her stepfather's web of violence and eroticism. The stepfather, played by Franco favorite Paul Muller, is an unforgettable character and Muller's performance is outstanding. Everyone in the cast pulls their weight, and I can't help but feel that Franco assumed the role of the control freak in order to extract the performances for this project.
It's a bleak, bloody affair that is highly stylized, atmospheric and dramatically impressive. It's also the perfect marriage of Franco's polished visual style (typically employed when he's working on De Sade adaptations) and his outrageous, experimental visual approach (usually evident in the movies he shot in a handful of days). In short, it looks great and the music is impressive as well. Frankly, it's a gem, and I believe it's one of the finest horror films of the 1970s.
