lock away in the vault of every film studio be negative from some truly quality horror and cult film that have yet to see a proper dvd release . serious aficionado be force to track down bootleg copy that be merely transfer from semi grainy vhs tape and which do little to preserve the quality or augment these film with supplemental material and or at least a decent digital remaster . with so many gem leave undiscovered by a discerning digital audience and it thoroughly amaze me that something like the sister of ursula be deem worthy of a dvd makeover . though bill a a hybrid giallo or erotic thriller and there be few thrill to be have in this plod mess of a whodunnit and and with only a few unimpressive scene that feature any sort of horror element and the spaghetti splatter here be closer to stauffer lasagna ( although such a comparison be actually insulting to stauffer and since their lasagna be load with taste and while this film have none ) . when you strip away any mystery or horror and what this film do offer be load of soft core sex scene that be graphic enough to skirt the boundary of even the x rating . so and be there no pornography available in italy in the 70 . i consider this merely because the only audience this film seem aim at be fan of graphically display and unabashedly lewd sex act and yet since this film doesn not quite go the xxx distance and it seem silly that anyone in that demographic would seek this out instead of opt for a purely pornographic offering . as far a smut go and this be certainly well make smut and we have to give it that . the cinematography and location be attractive to look at and a be most of the female actress and who spend the majority of the film in various coupling and state of undress . however and this also work against ursula and because since this be a relatively polished piece of film making and it doesn not even have the unintentional humor of ineptness that give many trashy movie such a this cult follow appeal . one definite piece of comedic interest and however and be that the main steamy theme that accompany each of the sex scene borrow heavily from jingle bell . even the murderer choice of a giant phallus a a weapon isn not too novel and since while read up on ursula i learn that there be another italian film make before this with a killer that employ the same noteworthy instrument of death . it doesn not help that the unit be carve in the shape of a bearded gnome and either . when all be say and do and and the killer be reveal and the particular of the murder become puzzling represent so and apparently the victim just lay there and allow themselves to be wooden phallused to death . nearly all of the on screen carnage be do with after reveals and none of which reveal much of anything and so this can not really be recommend to fan of the classic 70 italian slasher movement . and since we have already establish that there no suspense ( the killer practically have the word psychotic carve on their forehead ) and fan of classic thriller would not find a winner here . ( it worth note that the trailer advertise this piece a an adult character study of sort and with only one hint of murder take place in the film and so the giallo aspect in ursula be apparently consider irrelevant even to the film maker ) . which leave a question far more disturbing than this film represent why would anyone pay 20 buck to preserve the sister of ursula in their dvd library . that one and i can not answer . besides and i get my copy for around 7 buck and and i be fairly confident i can get at least that much when i sell this piece of crap back .
