Independent U.S. distributors Severin Films have detailed their upcoming Blu-ray release of cult director Jess Franco's
She Killed in Ecstasy (1971), starring Soledad Miranda, Fred Williams, and Paul Muller, and
Vampyros Lesbos (1971), starring Soledad Miranda, Dennis Price, and Ewa Strömberg. Recently restored, the two films will be available for purchase on May 12.
She Killed In Ecstasy
Dr. Johnson (Fred Williams) lives in bliss with his beautiful wife (
Vampyros Lesbos' Soledad Miranda) until his unorthodox experiments with human embryos cause a medical committee to reject his findings and orders him to discontinue his work. The unstable doc does the only sensible thing: slashes his wrists in the bathroom. Devastated, his wife vows to seduce and kill the woman and three men "responsible" for the suicide. Erotic and chilling, this twisted shocker from the mind of Jess Franco (
Exorcism, Eugenie) offers a catalog of carnal sins captured even more brilliantly in this digitally remastered edition, a must for fans of Eurocult cinema and classic prog rock/lounge music scores!
