Jess Franco Collection Vol.2 [DVD]

A collection of six sexploitation films by director Jesus 'Jess' Franco - once decreed by the Roman Catholic church as the most dangerous filmmaker alive! 'Macumba Sexual' (1983) stars Franco regular Lina Romay (here as her alter ego 'Candy Coster') in the role of a young housewife subject to highly erotic and often sapphic dreams and visions of a dusky princess, Obongo, Goddess of Unspeakable Lust. Cue Franco's predilection for wild orgy dreamscapes of a hetero, bi and highly charged nature. 'The Story Of O' (1984) is Franco's re-telling of the French erotic story by Pauline Reage. A young nymphet is drawn into a sexual farrago by her lascivious neighbours and finds herself in over her head, with her heels also over her head, and her head itself in all manner of compromising positions. 'The Inconfessable Orgies of Emmanuelle' (1982) is a brutal tale of love gone wrong. Muriel Montosse stars in the lead role of Emmanuelle - a lithe young thing recently reunited with her estranged hubby. At a party, however, she peels off for his mates in a drunken scene, making him furious. He storms off to meet his lover and when Emmanuelle goes after him, she's brutally raped in the street. Broken, she then wanders through life falling from one stranger's bed to another. In 'Downtown Heat' (1994), Franco mixes the worlds of jazz and titillation - his traditional strong suit. A jazz pianist is drawn into a seedy underbelly of orgies, slavery, drugs and copious nudity. In 'Down Town' (1975) a strange woman hires a private eye to take some compromising photos of her low down babehound of a husband. But when the husband turns up dead, our private eye becomes the prime suspect, and must attempt to extricate himself from this devious trap. A torrid tale of sex and sadism, 'Mansion Of The Living Dead' (1985) begins as four wanton waitresses go on vacation to Canaria where, this being a Franco flick, they are soon indulging their hungers for masturbation, lesbian lust and bondage. The ultimate depravities are still to come, however, as a nearby 17th Century monastery turns out to be the clubhouse for a horde of zombie Templars crazed for the taste of hot female flesh.

United Kingdom released, PAL/Region 2 DVD: LANGUAGES: English ( Dolby Digital 2.0 ), SPECIAL FEATURES: Box Set, Interactive Menu, Multi-DVD Set, SYNOPSIS: Macumba sexual:; Jesus Franco's surrealistic voodoo film stars Ajita Wilson as Princess Obongo, who lives in a strange castle on a sunny desert island. Through sexual rituals and seduction of vacationers, the princess seeks to spread her evil around the world. A rather bizarre, dreamlike film recalling Franco's Vampyros Lesbos, this one benefits from the powerfully erotic performance of Wilson, who died in 1987 amidst strong rumors that she was a transsexual. Franco regulars Lina Romay and Antonio Mayans co-star as her intended victims, and the director turns in a funny cameo as a voyeuristic janitor who collects stuffed fish.; ; Story of O (Historia sexual de O):; This is one of Franco's several movies inspired from and loosely based on Sade's Philosophy in the Boudoir - it is quite unlike some of Franco's better known kitsch sleaze flicks. It is a deliberately slow-paced, minimalist piece of erotica. Yes, there are quite a lot of three-some, lesbian, etc., scenes, and yet despite the presence of these skin scenes, the movie is a very uncommercial and personal effort. The victim's eventual descent into being a prey of the predatory aristocrats from cherishing a chance at free sex experience is very well executed and the final sado-orgy is terrifyingly nightmarish.; ; Orgias Inconfesables De Emmanuelle (Emmanuelle Forever):; Emmanuelle is recently reunited with her husband, but at the next party, she gets drunk and strips nude for his friends. He returns to his lover. Later, a sober Emmanuelle tri...Jess Franco Collection 2 (6-DVD Set) ( Macumba sexual / Historia sexual de O / Orgias Inconfesables De Emmanuelle / Ciudad Baja / Downtown - Die nackten Puppen der Unterwelt / La Mansión de los muertos vivientes ) ( Story of O / Emmanuelle
