Lola's Secret

Albert is a quiet young man whose life gets flipped when Lola arrives as the new maid for the household where he works. She’s flirtatious and magnetic, quickly drawing him into a relationship that seems to answer long-held fantasies. Their affair brings excitement, but Lola keeps a hidden side that slowly complicates things, introducing danger and dark humor into otherwise ordinary days. As secrets surface, loyalties wobble and the tone shifts between laughter and unease, so the story moves from light erotic flirtation into sharper, more unsettling territory without revealing the final outcomes.

Directed by Bruno Gaburro and created by Piero Regnoli, the film was released in 1984, featuring Donatella Damiani and Scott Coffey in the lead roles, and fitting into a mix of drama, comedy, and horror conventions.

The movie did not register as a mainstream box office hit, instead finding a limited theatrical presence and appealing mostly to niche audiences rather than large commercial crowds.

Critical reaction was mixed to mildly favorable, reflected in modest audience scores. Reviewers tended to note the film's tonal shifts, where eroticism meets genre horror and dark comedy, and responses singled out the performances and atmosphere over narrative coherence.

Over time the film picked up attention among fans of European genre cinema, who appreciate its oddball blend of sex, scares, and satirical moments. Donatella Damiani’s portrayal of Lola is often mentioned by collectors and specialty programmers, and the picture has circulated on cult film circuits and home video playlists, attracting viewers interested in offbeat 1980s fare that mixes erotic tension with low-budget horror elements.
