6/10
Not a bad effort.

Warning: Spoilers
'Viciosas al desnudo' is a(n unofficial) remake of 'The seducers' (1977), but the story lacks the incest theme^ of the original (this is my educated guess, and it would surely have been in the keywords list here on IMDb if it was a theme), which makes it less intense in that sense. The cinematography and acting are a lot less intense (or good) as well, though we get to see lots of fun vintage interiors and exteriors and Adriana Vega and Eva Lyberten are quite easy on the eyes. Unfortunately, I could only make out just a few words of the dialogue here and there, so I can hardly come to a fair judgment there.

The soft-porn scenes are quite entertaining, but there's a lot of emphasis on the main theme as well, which deals with the hypocritical, male approach of sex in '80s society - again, for as far as I understand the story. These two elements don't work perfectly together, but somehow the soft-porn versus the hypocrisy surrounding sex does make sense on some level.

The soundtrack is pretty corny and overly present throughout the film, which doesn't help much, either.

6 out of 10 seems in order, though I'll stay on the lookout for English subtitles.

^ This is not a spoiler for that film.
