A Lizard in a Woman's Skin

Movie • 1971 • Mystery  

Report
Carol Hammond, the sexually frustrated wife of a successful London lawyer, is having bizarre, erotic dreams about her uninhibited neighbour, Julia Durer, who presides over noisy, sex and drug filled parties in the house next door. One night, Carol dreams culminate in violent death and she wakes to find her nightmares have become reality - Julia has been murdered and Carol is the main suspect. Was she set up, or did she really do it?

The gore is tame by Lucio Fulci standards but still excessive by most other standards, especially for 1971. You should always expect a lot of gore from a Fulci film.

Other than the dog, there is one shot of what looks like a crushed, bloody bat.

Arguably; we see a shot of a woman's hand with cuts in the palm where she has dug in her nails, though this could be seen as an involuntary action.

Multiple dream sequences in which a woman struggles through crowds of people blocking her way in somewhat enclosed spaces (a corridor of a train and a hallway, respectively).

There is lots of full nudity and sexual content, of different orientations, throughout the film.
The plot centers around a woman's sex life.

A large amount of blood and gore throughout the film, ranging from mild to intense visuals.

Spoiler; the content ranges from red paint as blood, to realistic knife wounds, to an unrealistic, but nauseating multilated dog on a meat hook.
