Back in 1973 Jess Franco unleashed Countess Perverse, which has a little something for everyone via its human hunting ground packed with sex, sleaze, and outrageous behavior. Thanks to Mondo Macabro you can nab the official director’s cut on June 12th.
In the Countess Perverse, aka La comtesse perverse (1973, France, 78 min.), a pair of decadent and debauched aristocrats turns their private island into a human hunting ground where they can stalk their naked prey. As each victim is murdered, the carcass is then cooked and fed to their guests; simply delicious! What the unsuspecting visitors don’t realize is that they will soon become the next evening’s meal, eventually fighting for their lives in a shocking and flesh-baring cat-and-mouse game. With suave actor Howard Vernon (Seven Women for Satan) and the stunningly sexy Alice Arno (Justine de Sade), Countess Perverse co-stars Kali Hansa, Lina Romay, Tania Busselier, and Robert Woods, delivering Jess Franco-sized, wicked entertainment.
Special features include:
* Brand new transfer from original negative, Anamorphic 16:9 (1.33:1)
* Interview with actor Robert Woods
* Extensive Production Notes and introduction by film critic Stephen Thrower
