La Visita del Vicio (1978) - also known as "The Coming of Sin" or "Violation of the Bitch" in some markets, is a Spanish thriller directed by José Ramón Larraz.
The story revolves around Lorna, a wealthy widow artist living in solitude in her rural chateau in Córdoba, Spain. Her life changes when she takes in Triana, a young gypsy girl, to look after while her friends are away. Triana has disturbing recurring nightmares of being assaulted by a naked man on horseback. As these dreams start to merge with reality, a complex and erotic relationship develops between Lorna and Triana, complicated further by the arrival of the mysterious horseman.
Patricia Granada as Lorna and Lidia Zuazo as Triana deliver performances that are central to the film's appeal. Granada's portrayal of the lonely, curious artist and Zuazo's depiction of the wild, haunted gypsy girl provide the emotional depth needed for the film's more dramatic moments. Rafael Machado, playing Chico, adds to the film's tension and erotic charge.
"La Visita del Vicio" is unabashedly an erotic thriller, with scenes that were quite bold for the time. The film's approach to sexuality, especially the lesbian relationship, is handled with a degree of artistry, though its exploitation elements are evident.
