Succubus

Skräck från 1968 av Jess Franco med Janine Reynaud och Jack Taylor. Once declared by the Catholic Church to be one of the most dangerous filmmakers alive, the controversial and highly prolific Spanish director Jess Franco (Vampyros Lesbos; Venus In Furs) gained his infamous reputation as the auteur of a seemingly endless series of low budget exploitation films. Now, one of Franco’s most famous and revered works, SUCCUBUS is coming to DVD as part of Anchor Bay UK’s Official Jess Franco Collection.

SUCCUBUS stars Janine Reynaud (Kiss Me Monster; Sadisterotica) as Lorna Green a beautiful erotic cabaret dancer at one of Lisbon’s most fashionable nightclubs and the most recent discovery of stage producer William Mulligan (Jack Taylor). Her nightly cabaret act revolves around the sensuous S&M torture of her co-stars and usually concludes with a simulated murder. The show is an enormous success but seems to be taking its toll on Lorna’s mental state. As she becomes more and more influenced by the character she plays, Lorna slowly begins to lose contact with reality as she becomes more and more lost in a surreal schizophrenic fantasy. Past and present, time and space, and Lorna’s own sense of identity begin to blur. With more that just a business interest in his star, Mulligan attempts to help Lorna by searching for the cause of her strange behaviour, little knowing that his quest will lead him deep into a nightmare from which he may never escape.

A surreal erotic thriller that bears all the hallmarks of Franco’s best work, SUCCUBUS was hailed by acclaimed film director Fritz Lang (Metropolis) as “a beautiful piece of cinema.”
