      needs more tension
      In early 20th century Germany, an isolated school raises girls from babies. It's run by the headmistress (Jacqueline Bisset) and financed by a wealthy prince. The girls learn music and dance but they know nothing about the outside world. The school is slated to be closed. Hidalla, Irene, Vera, Blanka, Melusine and Rain are in the oldest class. They name the local waterfall Mine Ha-Ha. The insular world is revealed to be stranger and stranger. Irene and Hidalla start a hesitant love affair. Everyone is competing to be the rose for the ballet which is to be attended by the prince. Vera is killed and the girls try to escape which only leads to another death.

      This is an erotic horror. It is definitely skewing more towards erotic than horror. The movie needs more tension. It moves too slowly for long stretches. As an erotica, it has some memorable scenes. I wish it concentrate more on the mystery horror side. It reveals too much for the mystery to be compelling. As it stands, this is a classy soft core porn with an actual story.
