College Girl

About This Movie

So, 'College Girl' from 1993—it's a curious piece in the oeuvre of Joe D'Amato. You’ve got this story about a crumbling marriage, but then it shifts gears into an unexpected party atmosphere with the arrival of cousins Julia and Charlie. Raging hormones and college antics turn a home into a sort of sexual frenzy, which is classic D’Amato. The pacing feels a bit uneven at times, momentarily pulling you out of the heavier themes of love and loss. It’s that mix of drama and unabashed, almost absurd sexuality that makes it distinctive. Performances vary, but the raw energy is palpable, and there’s that signature practical effect flair you either love or hate.

'College Girl' has a bit of a niche following among collectors, primarily due to its association with Joe D'Amato’s eclectic filmography. It’s not as widely available as some of his other works, making certain formats particularly sought after. The VHS releases can be tricky to find, and there’s a certain charm to the gritty, lo-fi production that fans enjoy. If you're into the more obscure gems of the early '90s, this one fits right in, but it's definitely not for everyone.
