EUGENIE… THE STORY OF HER JOURNEY INTO PERVERSION
Eugenie… The Story Of Her Journey Into Perversion remains one of the most controversial explorations of extreme sexuality in European cinema history! Eugenie (Marie Lijedahl) is a young woman taken to an island paradise where she is initiated into a world of pleasure and pain controlled by the sinister Dolmance (screen legend Christopher Lee). But when she surrenders to her own forbidden fantasies, Eugenie becomes trapped in a frenzy of drugs, sadomasochism and murder. Adapted from the notorious novel Philosophy in the Boudoir by the Marquis de Sade, this rarely seen shocker is presented completely uncut!
The two-disc set comes with an all-new commentary track by film historians Nathaniel Thompson and Troy Howarth; interviews with director Franco, writer/producer Harry Alan Towers, stars Marie Liljedahl, Christopher Lee, & Jack Taylor, and critic Steven Thrower; a theatrical trailer; and newly expanded image galleries.

MARQUIS DE SADE’S JUSTINE
Marquis De Sade’s Justine is one of the most lavish and bizarre erotic shockers ever made by the notorious Jess Franco (99 Women), bursting with wanton nudity and sexual perversion. Justine (Romina Power, daughter of Hollywood legend Tyrone Power) is a nubile young virgin cast out of a French orphanage and thrust into a depraved world of prostitution, predatory lesbians, a fugitive murderess (Mercedes McCambridge), bondage, branding, and one supremely sadistic monk (an over-the-top performance by Jack Palance).
It’s a twisted tale of strange desires, perverse pleasures and the ultimate corruption of innocence as told by the Marquis de Sade. Featuring an all-star cast that also includes Akim Tamiroff (Touch of Evil), Maria Rohm (Eugenie) and Klaus Kinski (Nosferatu) as the Marquis de Sade.
The two-disc sets comes with both the original uncensored version (restored in glorious 4K) and the alternate Deadly Sanctuary cut (in HD); an all-new commentary track by film historians Nathaniel Thompson and Troy Howarth; interviews with director Franco, writer/producer Harry Alan Towers, star Rosalba Neri and critic Steven Thrower; a French theatrical trailer; and newly expanded image galleries.
