To put it another way, look at the cover of the film and tell me that it wouldn't feel more at home in a N-17 movie. But the original story itself is heavy with sexual themes, many many horrible murders and the utter corruption of a mortal woman. And I'm not saying that just because I want to see more naked ladies - although I do. And frankly that might have been avoided if they had had the guts to make an honest N-17 film.
