Laura Gemser steals the show as you would expect. Key scenes include her being forced to model naked next to roadkill, modeling on top of a humongous mound of camel dung and towards the end she indulges in drinking the blood of a baby goat she stabbed to death while being hypnotized. Overall the sleaze is moderate but the Egyptian atmosphere is mesmerizing and engulfs you in its desert wasteland and also wows you by including ancient Egyptian sites like the Abu Simbel temples at the end of the film. The soundtrack is amazing and the small cast is filled with off beat, deprived and eccentric characters but in all the story just feels a bit lacking.
