BLOOD ROSE (extremely rare Allied Artists release!)

Ultra obscure, mega rare, and highly sought after 1979 "Allied Artists Video" release in excellent condition!

English language version of aka 'La Rose Ecorchee/Tre Gocce Di Sangue Per Una Rosa' the superb and rarely 1969 sadistic French horror film from Claude Mulot billed as "The first sex-horror film ever made"!

Celebrated artist and notorious womanizer Frederic Lansac (Philippe Lemaire) has fallen head over heels in love with Anne (Anny Duperey), and whisks her away to his crumbling country mansion to live happily ever after. The problem comes from a spurned lover named Moira (Elizabeth Teissier), who forces poor Anne to fall into a huge bonfire, which naturally reduces her beauty to a crackly, deep-fried mess. Anne miraculously survives the accident, but is driven mad. Heartbroken, Frederic becomes a recluse and pretends to the world that his wife is dead, all the while plotting a scheme with former plastic surgeon Professeur Romer (Howard Vernon) to restore her to her original beauty.

In service to the mad Lansac are a pair of sadistic, mute, horny, rape-happy, animal skin wearing dwarves named Igor and Oloff. The evil dwarves force themselves upon unsuspecting girls while Lansac, who is also a renowned painter, removes their facial skin in order to reconstruct the badly burned face of his once beautiful lover.

When the rogue plastic surgeon starts working on Anne he realizes she is far too damaged for skin grafts. What they will need is a full-on, brand new face…which means some young lovely is going to be making a real big sacrifice.

Truly one hell of a twisted and recommended film with incredible atmosphere and many sleazy situations.

Starring Philippe Lemaire as Frederic Lansac, Anny Duperey, Elizabeth Teissier as Moira, Howard Vernon as Professeur Romer, Olivia Robin, Michele Perello, Valerie Boisgel, Jean-Pierre Honore, Gerard-Antoine Huart, Jacques Seiler, Michel Charrel, Roberto as the evil dwarf Igor and Johnny Cacao as the evil dwarf Olaf.
