Erika is a 1971 Italian drama film[1] directed by Filippo Walter Ratti and starring Pierre Brice, Patrizia Viotti and Carla Mancini.[2] The film grossed over 300 million lire on release, but was then banned due to alleged obscene content.[citation needed]

It was shot at the Elios Studios in Rome and on location around Faleria in Lazio. It was shot back-to-back with The Night of the Damned, using the same sets. The art direction was by Elio Balletti.
