If you thought that was good, you are most certain to find a great deal to appreciate in the Devil's Advocates one.

We'll never see eye to eye on this subject, Nos.
I don't dispute that it is exploitation, but I also think that just about every film (and book, music album etc.) says something about the people behind its creation and the society it represents and in which it was made. Examining those aspects and seeing what can be gleaned to offer the different interpretation on the finished product is something which I thought was fascinating when studying film academically.
