Two Girls for a Madman/Mr. Mari's Girls/Tortured Females 2004 Horror Movie Review

Dance students Toni and Sonya become Two Girls for a Madman when toothy psycho Frank Yeager sees sexpot Toni at a bizarre back-room orgy in Greenwich Village. Impressed, Frank pops up in the back of Toni’s car and “teaches her some new ballet steps.” Wanting seconds, Frank starts stalking Toni, quickly discovers her best friend Sonya, and ends up breaking into their dance school, anxious for a private performance…. Starring Arlene Farber (“Toni France”), star of such Jerry Gross faves as The Female Animal and Teenage Mother, here’s psychotic sexploitation from the man who made Toys Are Not For Children! Plus: Meet Mister Mari’s Girls, a diverse group of Women in Trouble—ranging from a junkie-model in need of a fix, to a pregnant high-school girl, to a “hard-as-nails” lesbian eager to marry her blind girlfriend—who come to millionaire Mari for help and advice, and stay around for the most malignant catfight ever put on film…. And: Unaware of the local Hooded Strangler lurking around her door, poor “Helen Doe” decides to visit her aunt but, instead, winds up at the “House of Horror on the hill.” There, she and six other Tortured Females are held by white slavers and persuaded to accept “a glamorous life of easy virtue” through beatings, whippings, and being forced to watch go-go dancers (?!). Worse, adding to the madness is nothing less than—are you ready?—“a half-witted, monkey-chattering, Mongolian hunchback.” Honest.
