Customer Reviews:

This is not the Official Jess Franco Collection.......2005-04-06

For prospective buyers, be warned that this is not the Official Jess Franco Collection as previously reviewed. The Official Jess Franco Collection contains all the aforementioned titles but it is released by VIP. This set is released by Image Entertainment and contains just 4 of his films, "Female Vampire," "A Virgin among the Living Dead," "The Sadistic Baron Von Klaus" and "Oasis of the Zombies". As far as I know these have so far not been added to the VIP set. I haven't seen this set so I can't comment on what it looks like but Image Entertainment has a pretty good reputation in handling DVD transfers. The VIP set is available either together or separately. The VIP set is unavailable at Amazon. You can find it at Xploitedcinema.com. That set is meticulously restored to pristine condition with each film transferred in its original aspect ratio with anamorphic enhancement. Hopefully this will be the same.

Product Description

DISC 1: SCARLET DIVA - A semi-autobiographical, darkly dramatic and surreal descent into the shockingly intimate world of rising actress Anna Battista (Asia Argento). Anna's harrowing and graphic journey plunges her into the dark heart of the film industry where she experiences despair, loneliness and degradation while trying to recapture her innocence and purity. Filmed in a bold, experimental style and featuring an acclaimed, avant electro soundtrack by John Hughes III, Scarlet Diva is an intense, sexually charged and unforgettable cinema experience. DISC 2: LOVE BITES - Antonio makes his living off others, sleeping at his friend's health club, borrowing money, and crashing parties. But he finds himself working overtime when a wealthy club owner, Von Bulow hires him to track down the elusive Jordan, who is thought to be a real Vampire. All Antonio knows is that Jordan lives by the night, but he soon finds that information about Jordan doesn't come without a price, and the company he keeps can bleed him to death. DISC 3: TRAUMA - An anorexic young woman escapes from a psychiatric clinic and meets a young man who wants to help. She is caught and returned to her parents, who are soon beheaded by a garrotting stranger making the rounds about town, apparently striking only when it rains. The orphaned young woman and her new lover launch their own investigation and are endangered when a link is discovered with the victims and a particular operation performed years before.
