About the Film

For his follow-up to VAMPYROS LESBOS, writer/director Jess Franco delivered perhaps his most twisted shocker of the 70s. In what fans and critics consider to be her greatest role, the luscious Soledad Miranda in one of her final performances before her tragic death stars as the vengeful widow who seduces then murders the men and women responsible for her husband’s suicide. Howard Vernon (THE AWFUL DR. ORLOFF), Paul Muller (BARBED WIRE DOLLS), Ewa Strömberg (VAMPYROS LESBOS) and Jess himself co-star in this EuroCult classic featuring another epic sexadelic lounge score by Manfred Hübler & Siegfried Schwab now remastered in HD and featuring all-new Extras. It's Franco at his perversely erotic best, like you ve never seen or heard it before!

About the Director

Jesús "Jess" Franco (1930–2013) directed between 180 and 200 films, a number so high that even film historians cannot agree on the exact total. He was a trained jazz musician and once worked as Orson Welles’s assistant on Chimes at Midnight. Franco brought an energetic, improvisational camera style to every genre he worked in, including horror, softcore erotica, spy thrillers, and combinations of all three. He often filmed these movies back-to-back, using the same sets and cast.
His breakout film, Gritos en la Noche (The Awful Dr. Orloff, 1962), was one of the first Spanish horror movies to get international distribution, released just as Spain’s censorship laws were starting to relax. After that, Franco became a regular in the European co-production scene, working with producers in France, Germany, and Portugal. He made films like Vampyros Lesbos and She Killed in Ecstasy, which combined lurid stories with a truly hypnotic visual style. He used hand-held zooms, jazz soundtracks, and often ignored traditional narrative logic, which put off critics but won over cult audiences years later.
Since Franco’s death, people have looked at his work differently. What at one time appeared sloppy now appears as a unique, dreamlike style, more like underground cinema than typical exploitation films. Because he made so many movies, he is also a good starting point for collectors, as nearly every major genre from that era appears in his filmography.
