Unless you're a devoted connoisseur of exploitation cinema or Roman depravity schlock, this sounds like a gratuitous mess designed purely for shock value without substance. The plot description screams B-movie trash from the 1970s, and without critical scores to suggest otherwise, there's no reason to waste your evening on it.

Plot

When the deranged emperor Caligula falls for an insatiable gladiatrix, their reign launches a mind-bending bacchanal of torture, sodomy, incest, castration, and aroused livestock.

Director: Bruno Mattei

Cast: Gino Turini, Betty Roland, Vladimir Brajovic, Françoise Blanchard, Raul Cabrera
