Once declared by the Catholic Church to be one of the most dangerous filmmakers
alive, the controversial and highly prolific Spanish director JESS FRANCO
(Vampyros Lesbos; Venus In Furs) gained his infamous reputation as the auteur
of a seemingly endless series of low budget exploitation films.
The six-disc THE JESS FRANCO COLLECTION 2 DVD box set brings together six
of Franco's best works on DVD for the first time in the UK in a great value
collectors' boxed set.
Starring Franco regular Lina Romay (here as her alter ego "Candy Coster") as a young wife haunted by erotic hallucinations of the mysterious Princess Obongo, MACUMBA SEXUAL is a bizarre kaleidoscope shocking lesbian ecstasy, frenzied threesomes, bisexual orgies and more.
THE STORY OF O, the erotic French literary masterpiece concerning a young nymphet who gets more than she bargained for when she is seduced into a sexual game by her shameless neighbours, is updated and unleashed courtesy of Franco in one of his most infamous features from the early 1980s.
THE INCONFESSABLE ORGIES OF EMMANUELLE features the libidinous heroine as never seen before, exploring carnal fulfilment in the unlikeliest of places. Muriel Montossé (billed as Vicky Adams) stars as the woman unable to resist any extreme erotic opportunity that comes her way.
Franco delves in action-thriller territory in DOWNTOWN HEAT, the story of a jazz pianist who is drawn into a deadly underworld where sex and souls are sold for drugs while investigating the disappearance of his wife.
In the erotic thriller, DOWN TOWN, a mysterious woman appears at detective Al Pereira's agency in Puerto Rico asking him to take some compromising pictures of her unfaithful husband, a notorious nightclub owner. Pereira hesitantly accepts the job but when the husband is found dead the police believe Pereira to be the killer.
A tale of sex and sadism, MANSION OF THE LIVING DEAD begins as four wanton waitresses go on vacation in the Canary Islands where they soon indulge their hungers for masturbation, lesbian lust, bondage and beyond. But the ultimate depravities are still to come, as a nearby 17th Century monastery unleashes a horde of zombie Templars crazed for the taste of hot female flesh.
THE JESS FRANCO COLLECTION 2 (cert. 18) will be released as a special collector's six-disc box set on DVD (£29.99) by Anchor Bay UK on 21st May 2007.
