I have long been watching these weird 80s-90s and even some early 00s indie small horror movies, usually somewhat slasher adjacent. This sounded like one so I put it on.
Early on in Olivia, little girl Olivia is watching her mom prostitute herself to a guy at their home. The guy is into some kinky stuff and wants to be verbally degraded while handcuffed to the bed. Things get a little out of hand and the guy gets enraged, breaks the cuffs and beats the woman to death. Olivia watches and is traumatized for life. Now as an adult whenever she gets into sexual situations, she sees a vision of her mother who in protective mode urges Olivia to kill!
The movie Olivia is small scale and it moves at a somewhat slow late 70s early 80s pace. It has rampant nudity, just casual stuff of women fully nude walking around pre or post coitus. This was filmed at Lake Havasu and I sort of wish I'd paid a little more attention to see if I could have determined that myself... not that I have been there but I love a good challenge.
Directed by Ulli Lommel, this movie is a little bit of a mixed bag in terms of tone and... well, everything else really. It is okay, but altogether little really happens and it sorta doesn't progress beyond the initial idea.
I will give it 2 stars.
