Summary:
Eleven Days, Eleven Nights 2 was directed by Joe D'Amato, a name that is synonymous with Italian sexploitation cinema. He’s most known for his Black Emanuelle, which starred Laura Gemser. Although he mostly worked in softcore and hardcore films, he did direct a few notable horror films: Death Smiles on a Murderer, Beyond the Darkness, and Absurd.
Named by an ex-lover to be an executor of his estate, a woman is given only eleven days to choose who will inherit his fortune.
Eleven Days, Eleven Nights 2 is a sequel to Eleven Days, Eleven Nights, a film that was clearly a cash-in on 9 ½ Weeks. Both of the Eleven Days, Eleven Nights films revolve around a protagonist named Sarah Asproon, an author who based her books on her sexual experiences and those of those she interviews. In Eleven Days, Eleven Nights 2, a family of deviants surrounds her and does their best to seduce her and claim the family fortune. What unfolds is a series of salacious moments that uncover the family's darkest and most perverse secrets.
Although Eleven Days, Eleven Nights 2 carries over the protagonist from its predecessor, this time around a different actress portrays the role. Kristine Rose (Demonic Toys) is cast in the role of Sarah Asproon, and while she may be lacking during exposition moments, she always delivers when it comes to erotica. Most of the cast is made up of first-timers who have no other credits, except Ruth Collins (Witch Academy) and Laura Gemser, a frequent collaborator of Joe D'Amato.
Although Eleven Days, Eleven Nights 2 includes all the essential elements typical of softcore erotica, its minimalistic narrative challenges viewers to stay engaged throughout its 92-minute runtime. Additionally, the story features a clever plot twist that adds depth to the unfolding events. Regardless of the genre or budget constraints, one consistent aspect of Joe D'Amato's films is their beautiful cinematography. Ultimately, despite its shortcomings, Eleven Days, Eleven Nights 2 works better than it should because of Joe D'Amato’s craftsmanship.
88 Films gives Eleven Days, Eleven Nights 2 an excellent release that comes with a solid audio/video presentation and informative extras. Recommended.
