Kino Lorber and Redemption Films are back with another fantastic addition to their cult blu-ray lineup. On July 28th Spanish horror auteur Jess Fracno’s The Erotic Rites of Frankenstein will be making it’s way to blu-ray and DVD, mastered in HD from the original 35mm film negative.
Synopsis:
After the death of Victor Frankenstein (Dennis Price), two figures vie for control of his metallic-skinned monster (Fernando Bilbao) and the radical technology that created him: the scientist’s daughter, Vera (Beatriz Savón), and the immortal wizard Cagliostro (Howard Vernon), who is assisted by a blind bird-woman with an unquenchable thirst for blood (Anne Libert).
With THE EROTIC RITES OF FRANKENSTEIN, controversial filmmaker Jess Franco merges his fondness for old-school horror with his unique and perverse tastes in sex and violence, partly inspired by the garish adult European comics of the early 1970s.
