Did you people see the same film I saw?

The girlfriends Françoise (Mireille Saunin) and Anna (Michèle Perello) are traveling through the countryside of France by car. They stop at a roadhouse to drink wine and buy coffee, and the owner advises them to return. However they proceed their trip but they get lost on the road.They decide to spend the night in an abandoned barn. In the morning, Françoise does not find Anna and she seeks her out. Out of the blue, the dwarf Gurth (Alfred Baillou) asks her to follow him and he shows a castle in an island where Anna would be.Françoise takes a boat that sails alone and brings her to the castle. Sooner she learns that she has reached the lesbian realm of the witch Morgane (Dominique Delpierre) that proposes Françoise to stay in her kingdom living in eternal youth and beauty with her favorites Yael (Régine Motte), Sylviane (Ursule Pauly) and Sarah (Nathalie Chaine). Otherwise she would be doomed to get older and older in the dungeons of the castle. Further, Françoise learns that Anna has given her soul to Morgane and will stay in the place forever. But Françoise does not want to stay and plots a plan to escape."Morgane et ses Nymphes" is an erotic tale about a woman that is trapped in an oneiric castle of lesbians mastered by the evil witch Morgane. The director Bruno Gantillon succeeds in the atmosphere of dream, supported by gorgeous actresses and wonderful music score. But the film is disappointing since I was expecting much more from the synopsis. My vote is six.Title (Brazil): "Morgana e as Ninfas" ("Morgane and the Nymphs")

Synopsis: Two sexy French twentysomethings, Françoise (Mireille Saunin) and Anna (Michéle Perello), come across a dilapidated castle which houses an evil (I guess) witch, Morgane Le Fey (Dominique Delpierre); her team of hot Girl Slaves; and her random huchbacked dwarf minion, Gurth (Alfred Baillou). The witch captures Françoise and Anna and forces them to decide: become Morgane's immortal sex slaves. . . or rot (as ugly old women) in the witch's dungeon for eternity.Review: 'Girl Slaves of Morgana Le Fay' is probably one of THE most frustrating erotic horrors I've ever seen in my life. Much of the 'erotic' part of the film is gorgeous French girls (mostly redheads) making out, touching, etc., but most of those scenes only last for a minute or two, or they're intercut with random shots of creepy Gurth's face. And, let me tell you, when you're in the mood for an erotic horror film about hot French witch slaves, you do not want to be seeing Gurth, who looks like Zelda from Pet Sematary. The film is very aptly done. The direction and writing are surprisingly good in comparison to some of the other 70s erotic horrors. The acting isn't too shabby, either. It does get boring at times, especially during the random interpretive dance scenes (?). It's mostly, however, a classically done erotic fantasy-horror. Unlike many films like this, it actually works well as a real story & film. . . even if you removed all of the eroticism.Final Verdict: 6/10.

I applaud Mondo Macabro for restoring these "lost" exploitation "classics" - and GIRL SLAVES is another suitable entry. I can't say that I've absolutely LOVED any of the MM releases that I've seen so far - but they've all been various degrees of entertaining at least...This one revolves around 2 girls (Francoise and Anna) who while traveling, get lost in a "twilight-zone-esque" village. They go to sleep in a barn after experiencing some car trouble, and when Fran wakes up, Anna is gone. A freaky dwarf guy leads Fran to a castle which is inhabited by some beautiful chicky's - including the mysterious Morgana. Seems that Morgana is a witch who can offer the travelers eternal life in return for their souls...but will they accept??? GIRL SLAVES is paced decently enough that you probably won't fall asleep during the proceedings - and there's a decent amount of 70's exposed-flesh on display. I can't really think of anything incredibly notable about the film, but it's another in a long string of well-made and entertaining 70's era exploit films. Definitely worth a look to the genre fan...7.5/10

I first saw a teaser for this movie as an extra on a Mondo Macabro DVD. At the time I don't believe it was listed among their coming releases, but it had been released by another branch of the company in the UK called Pagan.When Mondo Macabro did release it, I bought it, as I have bought most of their DVDs.The movie looks gorgeous. Really rich color. It's got a slow, dreamy pace that some might find boring. It's definitely got more of a fantasy flavor than one of horror.Two attractive women have car trouble, and go to sleep in an abandoned building. One wakes and finds the other missing, and she follows a strange little man to a castle by a lake. There, attractive women live in luxury with the witch Morgana. Her three closest servants and the little man grow jealous of the newcomer. Morgana has the power to keep women young and beautiful forever, for the price of their soul. And indeed, for all the luxury, the place seems pretty soulless. This is not a very deep movie, with not a whole lot of plot. It gets a little more eventful towards the end, and does have a satisfying ending.The DVD includes a number of extras, including a short by the director predating this film called in English "An Artistic Couple." It's not currently listed on the IMDb. In some respects it has a similar story, though it is played more for horror.
