Emanuelle's Revenge (Italian: Emanuelle e Françoise le sorelline) is an Italian film directed by Joe D'Amato. The film is about Francene who is abused and degraded by her husband Cardi (George Eastman), and eventually kills herself. Her sister Emanuelle then chains Cardi in a soundproof room with a two-way mirror, and tortures him by having sex with men and women, in which he cannot participate. Eventually driven mad, he proceeds to make his escape.
Unlike the French Emmanuelle series, this entry has been described as being closer to a sex-themed giallo.[2]

Reception
In a contemporary review, David Badder (Monthly Film Bulletin) stated that film had characters that eschew "any believable motivation" and that "deadly dull sex scenes irritatingly tricked out with arty-crafty camera work, almost guaranteed to send the bulk of his frustrated audience into a deep sleep" and the film was "burdened with a crushingly pretentious score".[1] The review compared D'Amato's work to that of Italian genre filmmakers Dario Argento and Riccardo Freda, stating the he had "none of [their] inspirational touches".[1]
