A young woman visits her gravely ill grandmother on her death bed who reveals the family curse: they're all vampires. Shot at the same time with much of the same cast as Dracula Prisoner of Frankenstein and Erotic Rites of Frankenstein here Franco creates one of his most legitimately erotic works with sapphic love scenes between stunning beauties and cult cinema stars Anne Libert and Britt Nichols. Franco himself has a key role as a Van Helsing style vampire hunter.
Dracula Prisoner Of Frankenstein (1972): Yesterday they were cold and dead. Today they're hot and bothered! When Dracula despatches another innocent victim Dr. Seward decides it's time to eradicate the evil count once and for all. However when Dr Frankenstein reanimates the lifeless Count in an attempt to create the perfect master race it's a three way battle between the man the vampire and the monster. Plus a werewolf thrown in for good measure! Curse Of Frankenstein
A series of murders take place in a remote European village which the locals believe to be the work of vampires and which the police dismiss as nonsense. The murders coincide with the arrival of the beautiful Luisa Karlstein (Britt Nichols) who has been summoned by the imminent death of her mother Baroness Karlstein who tells her daughter the family secret that they are all vampires! Loosely based on the classic Sheridan le Fenu short story Carmilla Franco's tale of lesbianism and vampirism is it must be said a disjointed and hotch-potch affair filmed almost back-toback with the Erotic Rites of Frankenstein. Yet despite its flaws it maintains enough of Franco's classic languid and dreamlike otherworldliness to include it among Franco's classic titles.
The prolific and manic Jess Franco has directed well over 200 films. Some are dire the majority functional and a few are absolute classics of exploitation cinema. The Demons Franco's shameless cash in on Ken Russell's the Devils is a true Franco masterpiece featuring everything from torture lesbian sex and demonic possession. The film centres on a witch who is burned at the stake by the inquisition but who before the flames consume her manages to curse the principal witchfinder and his minions with dire results. What follows is a catalogue of depravity and sexual violence on a truly orgiastic scale while Franco's camera gleefully captures every perverse moment and gratuitous exposure of female flesh!
