▲''[[The Sinful Dwarf (Film)|The Sinful Dwarf]]'' (1973) (original title: ''Dværgen'') is a Danish [[Exploitation Film]], sometimes referred to as part of a subgenre called "Dwarfsploitation". This particularly nasty piece of cinematic trash was reviled in its own time, playing to only a few thousand people in its native land and flat-out banned in Sweden. At this point, it is sought out by fans of Euro-sleaze cinema for its [[Refuge in Audacity|completely over-the-top nature]]. It does have some plot elements in common with ''[[Thriller a Cruel Picture]]'' and ''[[Bloodsucking Freaks]]'', if that's any indication of its content.
The movie centers around a boarding house run by a sleazy vaudevillian landlady, Lila Lash, and her incredibly creepy son, a [[Little People Are Surreal|flannel-wearing, toy-collecting, always-grinning little person]] named Olaf. The two of them use their attic space to imprison several young women, whom they control through heroin addiction and sell as prostitutes. Fair warning: there are scenes involving these women that are quite explicit, particularly in the uncut version of the film.

* [[Bad Santa]]: "Santa Claus" is the nickname of the drug dealer who supplies Lila and Olaf with the heroin they use to keep their white slaves under control. He wears red and uses a toy store as a front for his operations.
Line 18:
* [[Lady Drunk]]: Lila Lash and her friend spend much of the movie getting plastered.
* [[Little People Are Surreal]]: Olaf can make ''anything'' seem bizarre and disturbing with nothing more than a sweaty grin.
* [[Madwoman in
* [[One-Hour Work Week]]: Subverted with Peter, who begins as a struggling writer, but then spends much of the movie searching for a job.
* [[Police Are Useless]]: To American audiences, this was highly averted. When Peter goes to the police, they not only believe his story, they respond ''immediately''.
