Orgasmo was released in Italy on February 7,
1969. The film's title has led to confusion
as on its international release, the film
was titled Paranoia. Lenzi's next film also
with actress Carroll Baker was titled
Paranoia in Italy but was given the
international title of A Quiet Place to Kill.
Like other giallo films, Orgasmo was not
popular among the Italian film audiences on
its initial theatrical release as the genre
never gained popularity in its home country
until the releases of Dario Argento's The
Bird with the Crystal Plumage (1970) and The
Cat o' Nine Tails (1971).

The online film database Allmovie gave
Orgasmo one star referring to it as less
interesting as Paranoia and "there are some
interesting moments, but this is clearly
the lesser of the two films." Roger Ebert
gave the film a negative review stating that
"Only the haunting memory of Succubus
prevents me from naming [Orgasmo] as the
worst movie of the year."

STORY:

Kathryn West, a glamorous American widow,
arrives in Italy several weeks after the
death of her older, extremely wealthy husband.
With the help of Brian, her lawyer, Kathryn
moves into a luxurious villa and proceeds to
lead a lonely, uneventful existence until
one day, a handsome young man named Peter
Donovan shows up at the front gate, looking
for tools so he can fix his sports car.
Kathryn lets him stay the night, and the next
thing she knows, she's madly making love to him
in the shower. Peter eventually moves in, and
is soon joined by a free spirit he introduces
as Eva, his sister. Kathryn enjoys their company
and partying with them - until she begins to
suspect that Peter and Eva aren't what they
seem to be.
