A lonely aristocrat Miss Gray has a twin sister who's in an asylum. They share a strange bond. Miss Gray is rational but frigid while her sister is insane yet feels sexual pleasure for both of them. Soon, a female reporter arrives at the mansion - Miss Gray possesses vampire like qualities and lives alone when new reporter comes to do a story on her. It appears Doriana needs to suck the life out of various men and women - in a sexual way, in order to stay young. However, she gets no sexual feelings or pleasure out of it.

Synopsis:
From the fevered minds of maverick exploitation filmmaker and director Jess Franco and notorious Swiss genre movie producer Erwin C. Dietrich, comes BARBED WIRE DOLLS, one of the most outrageous entries in the “Women-in-Prison” film cannon.
In it, Franco favorite and lifelong muse Lina Romay stars as the wide-eyed Maria, an unfortunate young woman who kills her father (played by Franco) in self defense after he attempts to rape her. She is tried, sentenced and shipped off to what is perhaps the grisliest, greasiest and most depraved women’s penitentiary in screen history where, at the hands, fingers and fists of psychotic lesbian warden Monica Swinn, she and her fellow inmates are subjected to an endless onslaught of perverse psychological and sexual abuse. Graphic sex, Sapphic erotica, copious amounts of female nudity and offensively staged scenes of genital humiliation are the order of the day in this sleazy Franco masterpiece that is offset by a romantic, evocative score by composer Peter Baumgartner and Franco regular Daniel White.
Get ready to enter the shocking world of BARBED WIRE DOLLS!

Synopsis:
From Erwin C. Dietrich, the man who made his name breaking sexy dames out of prison, comes THE WOMEN OF INFERNO ISLAND (aka CAGED WOMEN, WOMEN'S PENITENTIARY, ISLAND WOMEN and a half dozen other lurid titles), a delirious, erotic and action-packed exploitation romp designed to please chain-gang-bangin' chicks and chaps everywhere.
Set in scenic Ibiza, Spain, THE WOMEN OF INFERNO ISLAND sees smokin' hot Eurocult legend Brigitte Lahaie (SWEDISH GAS PUMP GIRLS, FASCINATION) as an unlucky prostitute who is kidnapped and taken to a remote hellhole prison lorded over by a stern, leather-clad, she-wolf warden (Karine Gambier from Jess Franco's VOODOO PASSION). There she and a pack of other abducted international hookers are stripped, tortured, assaulted and humiliated while also enjoying the odd after-hours tumble with one of the many manly guards. Eventually, the ladies wise up, pine for their previous pay-for-play lives and hatch a plan to make a break for it...
Less unsavory then many of its women-in-prison ilk, THE WOMEN OF INFERNO ISLAND benefits - like all Dietrich productions - from a respectable budget, gorgeous locations, lush music by Walter Baumgartner, a top-flight cast that also includes Eric Falk (THE MAD FOXES), France Lomay and Nadine Pascal (both from SWEDISH GAS PUMP GIRLS) and tons of exposed female (and male) flesh.
Full Moon is stoked to present THE WOMEN OF INFERNO ISLAND in a totally uncut, digitally remastered transfer culled from Dietrich's own 35mm negative. Don't drop the soap!

Synopsis:
Eurosleaze maverick Jess Franco and producer Erwin C. Dietrich team up again for Voodoo Passion (aka Call of the Blonde Goddess and Porno Shock), a voyeuristic, sex-soaked thriller that veers wildly between reality and fantasy.
Actress Ada Tauler stars as Susan, who arrives in Haiti to live with her new husband Jack (Franco regular Jack Taylor from Female Vampire), who has an apparently unhealthy, possibly incestuous relationship with his sister Olga. Getting lost in a fever dream of sexual delirium, Susan suddenly finds herself lost in a weird world of black magic, clandestine couplings and bloody voodoo rituals, all the while her possibly sinister housekeeper (Muriel Motosse) looks on lustfully. More coherent then many of Franco’s dream-state erotic horror films, Voodoo Passion also stars frequent collaborator Karine Gambier and features a groovy score by Walter Baumgartner (Franco’s Jack the Ripper).
The film is presented fully uncut and digitally remastered from Dietrich’s original negative.

Synopsis:
Just when you thought it was safe to go back to Switzerland, notorious producer/director Erwin C. Dietrich (billed under his nom de plume Michael Thomas) strikes back harder than the Empire with this sex-tastic sequel to his classic exploitation epic THE YOUNG SEDUCERS! THE YOUNG SEDUCERS 2 (aka Blutjunge Verführerinnen 2) once more stars statuesque German sex film superstar Ingrid Steeger, who top-lines a cast of often disrobed international actors that are called to enact the sweaty fantasies of a perpetually horny author. As with the first film, Dietrich (ROLLS ROYCE BABY, also available from Full Moon) forgoes nagging contrivances of plot and character development in favor of a non-stop cavalcade of hot and hilarious couplings that skirt hardcore but never quite cross the line, always tempering the tempestuous encounters with laughs because, y'know...sex SHOULD be fun!
The name of the game here is young dames, who lock their sites on their older male sexual conquests and go to great lengths to get them. And get them they do, naturally, in every position and in every location (and of course, Deitrich once again exploits some typically breathtaking European locales for his lurid goings-on) within shagging distance. Dietrich would return again for a third go around with his nubile horny heroines, but THE YOUNG SEDUCERS 2 is widely considered the finest in the trilogy...

Synopsis:
After producing a string of films for notorious Spanish director Jess Franco (Barbed Wire Dolls, Jack the Ripper), Swiss producer Erwin C. Dietrich "borrowed" Franco's main muse, actress Lina Romay, for a sexploitation romp of his own. Their resulting collaboration was 1975's Rolls Royce Baby, a salacious and intensely erotic cinematic experience featuring the beautiful Romay at her most sexually uninhibited. Romay stars as Lisa, a curvy nymphomaniac who prowls the countryside in her classic, chauffeur-driven, Rolls Royce picking up any man she can find and engaging in all manner of explicit sexual acts. Dietrich forgoes any narrative contrivances and simply focuses on Lina's outstanding natural physical attributes, picturesque scenery and a cavalcade of hot couplings that happen in and out of that glorious Rolls Royce, while composer Walter Baumgartner's delirious score pumps away in the background.
Full Moon is excited to present this ultra-rare, insanely sexy slice of vintage European erotica in a digitally remastered, FULLY UNCUT transfer, culled directly from Dietrich's own 35mm negative. Jump in Lina's Rolls for the hottest ride you'll ever take!

Synopsis:
Jess Franco’s rare and controversial erotic thriller Slaves, fully uncut and totally remastered!
Out of all the pictures Spanish exploitation maverick Jess Franco and Swiss producer Erwin C. Dietrich released, 1977’s SLAVES is perhaps the rarest and most sought after. The film (also known as SWEDISH NYMPHO SLAVES and DIE SKLAVINNEN) stars Franco’s wife and muse, the inimitable Lina Romay (MARQUISE DE SADE) in a rare villainous role as Madame Arminda, the owner a notorious high end brothel called The Pagoda, who oversees the kidnapping and sexual torture and humiliation of a young society girl (Martine Stedil, BARBED WIRE DOLLS). When the girl’s father pays the ransom but doesn’t get his daughter back, he and his nasty manservant (played by Franco himself!) raid The Pagoda and enslave Arminda, subjecting her to untold indignities while trying to find out what happened to his child.
As with all Franco/Dietrich productions, SLAVES packs a sleazy wallop but its grimy doses of sex and violence are juxtaposed by rich production values, gorgeous cinematography by Peter Baumgartner and lush music by Walter Baumgartner. Filled with a enough female nudity to fill 10 films and bolstered by Romay’s intense performance, SLAVES is classic piece of Franco-philia that needs to be seen and is presented here totally uncut (in its original German language with English subtitles) and digitally remastered from Dietrich’s own negative.

Synopsis:
Susan Hemingway, William Berger, Herbert Fux and Ana Zanatti star in a movie so confronting that censorship bans prevented its release for two years.
16-year-old Maria is forced into Serra D'Aires convent, secretly run by Satanists. Her confessor is in collusion with the Mother Superior. Maria is tortured, forced into sex with men, women, and the horned Devil, and told that it's all a bad dream. She writes a letter to God, and a Knight rescues her, only to fall into the hands of the Inquisition, put on the rack, and condemned to death like Joan of Arc.
Love Letters of a Portuguese Nun is a 1977 West German-Swiss movie directed by Jesus Franco and loosely based on the Letters of a Portuguese Nun attributed to Mariana Alcoforado. It tells the story of Maria, a girl in Inquisition-era Portugal, whom a priest sees cavorting with a boy. He orders her to become a nun as penance. In the convent Maria gets subjected to all sorts of torture and humiliation at the hands of the priest and the mother superior. The movie is part of a genre known as "nunsploitation".

Synopsis:
From the fevered minds of maverick exploitation filmmaker Jess Franco and notorious Swiss genre movie producer Erwin C. Dietrich, comes SEXY SISTERS!
The film follows 2 stepsisters Edna and Milly, Edna stalks nightclubs looking for men to have sex with, and brings them home. However, upon arrival she disappears, and leaves them to her nymphomaniac stepsister Milly, who has spent the last 6 months chained up in a room by herself and under the supervision of Doctor Barrio. Milly, it turns out was sexually traumatized when she was young by a muscular gigolo who raped her and her sister. But that is not her only problem. Her late Father, a millionaire left her a trust fund of millions of dollars that she will inherit on her 21st birthday, if she is in the right mind to collect it. It turns out that Edna has been working with Barrio to make sure Milly is not at all in her right mind by injecting her with a medication that amps up her sex drive, and turned her into the nymphomaniac that currently is.
A lot of the Franco films of this period are fun genre romps that are loose on plot, but high on sex and nudity. Sexy Sisters certainly falls into that category. The films first half is consistently mostly sex, and what plot there is only begins to reveal itself in the second half of the film. The film feels like a more narratively strong version of his earlier Nightmares Come at Night as both feel more like a fever dream captured cinematically by Franco.
