I've watched LORNA THE EXORCIST and THE SLAVES since I posted that.

Nice, mate! Here's my own take on the flick.

'Countess Perverse' fails to scale the heights of Jess Franco's 70s style - Boston Movie | Examiner.com

agreed on the annoying dubbing. by the time Kali Hansa's dubbed voice was going "The rocks! The rocks" I was thinking "Kill her now!"

To be fair, it's not Franco's fault. He sent silent workprints to Paris and Gerard Kikoine (later a porn director and even later an exploitation director Harry Alan Towers) dubbed in the dialogue, effects, and presumably chose the music.

TBH i dont think ive ever seen a jess franco film ...
Im not realy into films where there mainly jusy nudity and not lot else to offer

Same applies to jean rolllin as well

as matter of fact a few film directors films ive never seen there style doesnt appeal to me,

[gag]

The exploitation style of films for redemption label just dont appeal to me.

there's more to franco and rollint han nudity (although that is a pretty big part of it) ol jesus could pull off some pretty groovy shots and atmospheres if you caught him on a good day.

Sorry for stating the obvious, but if you've never seen any Franco or Rollin, how can you know if you'd like them or not?

Check out Franco's Venus in Furs. It's groovy. Fantastic locations, funky music, and an excellent mystery to boot. It's a near perfect Euro classic.
