B+ Sound: B Extras: B Film: B
To
accompany the exceptional release of Jess Franco's Vampyros Lesbos
(also reviewed on this site and also from 1971), comes She Kills
In Ecstasy, which also stars the stunning late Soledad Miranda in
a very different role than she was in Vampyros Lesbos.
Accompanying with the film in high definition is a CD that features
highlights of unforgettable music score from three of Jess Franco's
films by Manfred Hubler and Siegfried Shwab and Bruno Nicolai. All
of this in a nice slipcase, beautiful new artwork, and an insert,
this release is very collectible and highly recommended to fans of
cult cinema.
Please
note that this set is limited to 4,000 units, so get it soon!
Dr.
Johnson is happily married with his beloved wife Mrs. Johnson and is
researching human embryos using animal cells. When he brings his
findings to the Board of the prominent Dr. Franklin Houston, Prof.
Jonathan Walker, Dr. Crawford and Dr. Donen, the committee rejects
his researches and destroys his laboratory. Dr. Johnson has a
nervous breakdown and commits suicide, and the disturbed Mrs. Johnson
seeks revenge, seducing each member of the Board and killing one by
one while having sex with his victims.
She
Killed in Ecstasy has never looked better than it does here,
especially like Lesbos after so many video editions over the
years. Presented in newly remastered HD and featured in its original
widescreen aspect ratio of 1.66:1, the film is crisp and clear
throughout with beautiful colors and minimal grain (or other, minor
flaws). The sound mix is presented in German PCM 2.0 Stereo and
features English Subs.
