Severin Films has detailed its standard Blu-ray editions of Michel Caputo's action thriller The Female Executioner a.k.a. L'exécutrice (1986) and Jesús Franco's Faceless (1987). The two releases will be available for purchase this August.
Official description: Legendary adult film performer Brigitte Lahaie launched her mainstream acting career -- and subsequently became a French cultural icon -- with this 1986 Parisian exploitation hit. Lahaie is Detective Martine Savignac, a tough vice cop who specializes in busting the most extreme pornographers. But when a porno queenpin snatches her kid sister for revenge, Martine will take on a city full of pimps, pushers, human traffickers, the Chinese mob and every man she can.
Michel Modo (HIGHLANDER: THE SERIES), Pierre Oudry (DIRTY WAR) and Dominique Erlanger (THE HOUSE OF THE MISSING GIRLS) co-star in this totally '80s vigilante thriller written & directed by EuroSmut veteran Michel Caputo and produced by Lahaie's then-lover René Chateau (FACELESS), now scanned in 2K from the original negative and featuring all-new interviews with Caputo and Lahaie.
Special Features and Technical Specs:
Official description: For his 1988 big-budget EuroSleaze classic inspired by Eyes Without a Face, director Jess Franco brought together an international all-star cast -- including Helmut Berger (THE DAMNED), Brigitte Lahaie (THE FEMALE EXECUTIONER), Chris Mitchum (SUMMERTIME KILLER), Stéphane Audran (COUP DE TORCHON), Caroline Munro (MANIAC) and Telly Savalas -- for a glossily depraved tale of disfigurement, dismemberment, libidinous brutes, Nazi surgeons, Parisian discos, face-ripping, throat-stabbing, eyeball-piercing and what may be Uncle Jess' most rewardingly ambiguous ending ever.
Anton Diffring (CIRCUS OF HORRORS) and Florence Guérin (CALIGULA & MESSALINA) co-star -- with appearances by Howard Vernon (THE AWFUL DR. ORLOFF) and Lina Romay -- in this unapologetically graphic shocker, now scanned for the first time in 4K from the original negative.
