Movie Description A collection of four classics from prolific cult director Jess Franco, purveyor of pure sex, gore, mayhem and madness. Nineteen-year-old Lina Romay, who later became the director's wife, stars in the Franco favorite, FEMALE VAMPIRE. A mute and eternally young countess, she resides on the island of Madeira and seduces men and women alike, feeding on their sexual fluids. In A VIRGIN AMONG THE LIVING DEAD, young Christina Reiner (Christina Von Blanc) arrives at her family home for the reading of her deceased father's will. She becomes suspicious as to the motives of her increasingly creepy family members, and her worst forebodings are confirmed by the arrival of her father's ghost. Then, THE SADISTIC BARON VON KLAUS carries out a curse centuries old, leaving a trail of cruelly murdered women in his wake. Finally, the desert is turned into an OASIS OF THE ZOMBIES when the newly dead return from the grave.
Zombies, vampires, sadists, and eroticism abound in this collection of European cult horror films by director Jess Franco.
FEMALE VAMPIRE: A countess who lives alone on the island of Madeira sustains her youth and beauty through regular infusions of the life essence of her visitors. She is soon entangled with a romance-clouded poet who believes it is his fate to join her in the world of eternal life. However, when a forensic scientist examines several drained bodies, he concludes that the culprit is in fact a vampire.
A VIRGIN AMONG THE LIVING DEAD: Cristina Reiner arrives at a foreboding castle to witness the reading of her father's will, only to discover that the rest of her family are already there, awaiting the impending death of her stepmother. Each chilling family member seems to have an ulterior motive, a fact confirmed when the ghost of Cristina's father appears.
THE SADISTIC BARON VON KLAUS: This gothic masterpiece takes place in the idyllic village of Holden, which gets thrown into turmoil when a string of young women are stabbed to death by what appears to be an ancient dagger. Superstitious residents believe the violence to stem from a curse placed on the town by a 17th century Baron called Von Klaus. When the Baron's heir arrives in Holden, he is assigned the dangerous task of ridding the town of this murderous curse.
OASIS OF THE ZOMBIES: When a young student receives word of his father's death, he gathers up his strength and leaves the campus of his beautiful English university to travel back to his home in Africa. While sorting out his father's affairs, he discovers some secret diaries containing clues to a secret stash of Nazi gold hidden somewhere in the Sahara. He gathers a group of student friends to search for the treasure, only to discover that it is guarded by the rotting undead who died while protecting it.
