It was just a week ago that Dorado Films put up a pre-order for a Jess Franco double feature coming to Blu-ray and now Blue Underground has announced that 99 Women, another Franco film, will be getting a Blu-ray release on December 13, 2016. The release will be a 3-disc unrated director’s cut with the film coming on DVD and Blu-ray along with a CD of the soundtrack’s original score by the extremely talented Bruno Nicolai. If you’re a fan of Franco these are good times, good times indeed!

The Demented Mother Of All Women-In-Prison Movies!

For his epic shocker of caged women gone wild, legendary director Jess Franco (MARQUIS DE SADE’S JUSTINE) brought together a once-in-a-lifetime cast of International beauties including Maria Schell (THE ODESSA FILE), Luciana Paluzzi (THUNDERBALL), Rosalba Neri (LADY FRANKENSTEIN) and Maria Rohm (VENUS IN FURS). Oscar® winner Mercedes McCambridge (JOHNNY GUITAR) and Herbert Lom (THE DEAD ZONE) co-star as the sadistic wardens of an island prison where abused yet luscious young lovelies surrender to their own depraved desires. Behind bars… without men… experience the unchained passion of 99 WOMEN!
