Danish girls, it would seem, are suckers for mechanical poodles. How else to explain the success of the Dwarf (Torben Bille) as he lures young girls to his attic where they are drugged up and sold for sex to clients wanting to satisfy their own perversions. As the old adage goes, behind every successful man there is a woman, and the woman in this case is the Dwarf's mother, Lila Lash, (Clara Keller) a woman who likes a tipple or two, or more. They run a down-beat boarding house which a young married couple book into once the mother realises that the wife is young and attractive.
While the husband is at a meeting, the wife becomes the Dwarf's next victim and is soon drugged up in the attic with the husband trying to find out what happened to her. The sex scenes in the attic are quite graphic depending on which version you see. The uncut version from AWE strays into hard porn territory although the extra footage is only a couple of minutes more than the Rated Export Version, also from AWE. Torben Bille gives a brilliant performance as the insane perverted Dwarf and Clara Keller goes all-out as the drunken faded theatre star.
Whether watching the uncut or the cut version of this film, this film is a bit of a guilty pleasure with a good story line and superb acting from the two leading cast members. The ending was a bit brief but at least it did not drag on for too long.
