I wouldn't say that scene was scarring, but it stayed with me for years.<br /><br />I read that Roger Corman rewrote the scene (Dameia was supposed to be eaten after her shirt came off in the original version) because he needed sex to sell the movie. For the rewrite, Corman went straight to Freud.<br /><br />The scene certainly has a subtext, suggesting that what Dameia is really afraid of is her own sexuality and her deep-buried desire to be lose control and be dominated sexually. The scene reads like teen male (and adult male?) fantasy, where the man brings the standoffish, competent, independent woman into willing submission through his "worm," if you will.<br /><br />All of that could be true ... but maybe Corman just wanted an excuse to strip a pretty girl naked and cover her with motion lotion for the audience. All these years later, I found the movie on Amazon Prime, and that scene is just as disturbing as ever.

Great production design for a low budget, though.Raegan Butcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03739371028338674195noreply@blogger.com
