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.

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.
