Blow Job (1980)

"Blow Job" started out decent enough but ultimately degenerated into a weak and overly wordy and 'deep' third act that killed it for me in the end.

A young couple get out of paying for their hotel room after the chick on the floor above them wigs out and jumps to her death from the window so they head to the race track. There, the guy meets a mysterious woman who promises she can predict the winning horse for him if he can help her through a 'gate'. He quickly agrees and, sure enough, they win big so they give her a ride back to her estate where her and her creepy butler start doing shit to get the boyfriend out of the picture so the new woman can dyke-out' with his girlfriend. Eventually, the rich woman throws an "Eyes Wide Shut" party for the girlfriend while the guy meets some chick that looks like Rhoda who tells him a bunch of nonsensical, witchy shit and that pretty much leads us through the weird, drawn-out "climax"...

First off, I'm not sure why this movie is titled the way it is, as it's not at all pornographic, but more of just a surreal Euro-exploit/horror film of an only moderately 'erotic' nature. It actually had an intriguing enough lead-up with some lesbo-voodoo and shady fuckers wandering around, but it just ends up going nowhere with it and becomes incredibly dull in the final stretch that it was a chore to get through. Definitely a miss.
