Review of Hera Purple

Hera Purple (2001)
6/10
A pretty good erotic Korean horror movie
29 April 2008
A woman bothered by dreams, anxiety and feeling that there is someone else inside of her goes to a psychiatrist. Under hypnosis she tells the pshchiatrist how, in her dreams, she and/or her alter-ego seduce men and then kill them while making love to them. Meanwhile,murders like her dreams are really happening.

This is an entertaining low budget horror film. The murders, while seemingly random, you eventually find out do have a pattern, there is an attempt to give some of the characters some depth, and there is a sad twist at the end. The acting ranges from below average to good. The main actress is particularly good and, in my humble opinion, as beautiful as her younger alter-egos. The sex scenes are very hot and arousing but not explicit. Also, some of the photography is quite good.

On the down side, there are some plot holes and how the goddess Hera gets involved is not explained nor is it clear the goddess Hera is really involved.

This is still definitely worth seeing and to me, is reminiscent of some of the Italian horror films of the 1970s like "The Devil's Wedding Night" and "Nude for Satan". Cheezy and fun.
