VAMPYROS LESBOS (West Germany/Spain 1971)
UHD & Blu-ray | 30 March 2026 | RRP: £34.99
From Jess Franco – the filmmaker The Vatican called “the most dangerous director in the world” – comes his legendary “fever dream of blood and lust” (The New York Times), for the first time ever in 4K UHD, featuring a new restoration, scanned in 4K from the original camera negative.
The film stars the eternally stunning Soledad Miranda as vixen vampire, Countess Nadine Carody, who lures women to a Mediterranean island to satisfy her insatiable hunger for female flesh in “a distinctive work of art and beautiful must-see” (Classic Horror), that seductively corrupts the Dracula mythos forever. Ewa Strömberg (She Killed in Ecstasy), Dennis Price (Theatre of Blood), Paul Muller (Count Dracula) and the director himself co-star in “Franco’s masterpiece” (The Digital Bits).
For the ultimate seduction, sink your teeth into Vampyros Lesbos on 4K UHD and experience it in all its gory glory

UHD & Blu-ray | 30 March 2026 | RRP: £34.99
For his follow-up to Vampyros Lesbos, writer/director Jess Franco delivered the “hallucinatory descent into erotic insanity” (Mondo Digital) that remains his most perversely iconic shocker of the 1970s. In her greatest role – and one of her final performances before her tragic death – the exquisite Soledad Miranda stars as a vengeful widow who seduces and murders the men and women responsible for her husband’s suicide.
Howard Vernon (The Awful Dr. Orloff), Paul Muller (Lady Frankenstein), Ewa Strömberg (Vampyros Lesbos) and Franco himself co-star in this Euro Cult masterwork “that truly shows what a creative genius Franco
could be when he is at the top of his form” (Classic Horror).
Experience She Killed in Ecstasy – an extatically enthralling, erotically charged slice of iconic seventies cinema
from the illustrious master of the genre, like never before thanks to Severin Films.
