When lust and vengeance collide at an Italian seaside castle, someone’s bound to get screwed—literally.
CARNAL REVENGE
An unethical businessman has a series of mistresses while his ill wife remains bed-ridden. He marries his favored one after his wife dies but things don't work out quite as he plans.
Quick Answer
Carnal Revenge is a 1974 Italian thriller directed by Alfredo Rizzo about a philandering businessman who, after cheating a count out of his castle and betraying multiple women, faces fatal consequences at the hands of one of his wronged lovers.
Programmer's Pick
Only in 1970s Italian cinema could 'death by sex' double as poetic justice. With its shamelessly sleazy giallo flavor and a cast of femmes fatales, Carnal Revenge turns the tables on its lothario antihero—one bedroom at a time.
