Genre(s): Erotik   Sex   Science-Fiction   

Inhalt: Alpha (Evelyne Scott), ein Wesen aus einer anderen Dimension, kontaminiert den Körper der Striptease-Tänzerin Cynthia (Lina Romay) mit einer tödlichen Substanz. Diese soll allen den Tod bringen, die Kenntnis der Existenz von Wesen aus jener anderen Dimension erlangt haben, namentlich die Seherin Madame Pécane (Monica Swinn) und der Forscher Kallmann (Olivier Mathot). Doch auch der an den Rollstuhl gefesselte Dr. Seward (Jess Franco) weiß nicht nur um die außerdimensionalen Wesen, er kann mithilfe seiner besonderen Sinne gar an Cynthias Martyrium und den Morden teilhaben, die diese unter dem hypnotischen Einfluss von Alpha begeht. Doch wird er das Ganze auch stoppen können?

 

Medium: Sonstiges

Bemerkungen:   One of the most provocative films of writer/director Jess Franco’s career has been virtually impossible to experience in its complete and uncut form…until now: Lina Romay is at her most explicitly seductive as an exotic dancer whose body is inhabited by a being from another dimension to explore desire, depravity and death, while Uncle Jess himself portrays a wheelchair-bound psychic obsessed with the paranormal. Shot on location in the seaside resort of La Grande Motte, Evelyne Scott (DEVIL’S KISS), Monica Swinn (BARBED WIRE DOLLS) and Olivier Mathot (THE SADIST OF NOTRE DAME) co-star in this 1975 Eurocinéproduction – previously available only in a shortened French version or as a censor-fogged Japanese bootleg – now scanned from the original negative for the first time ever anywhere.
