Description

Dr. Johnson (Fred Williams) lives in bliss with his beautiful wife (Vampyros Lesbos' Soledad Miranda) until his unorthodox experiments with human embryos cause a medical committee to reject his findings and order him to discontinue his work. The unstable doc does the only sensible thing: slashing his wrists in the bathroom. Devastated, his wife vows to seduce and kill the three men and one woman "responsible# for the suicide. Erotic and chilling, this twisted shocker from the mind of Jess Franco (Exorcism, Eugenie) offers a catalog of carnal sins captured even more brilliantly in this digitally remastered edition, a must for fans of Eurocult cinema and classic prog rock/lounge music scores!

OK until the end.......2007-06-12

Soledad Miranda is fascinating to watch, but a car that slides down a hillside, gently comes to a stop on the beach, and then bursts into flames? I felt like I was watching a Simpson's cartoon.

Beautifully Haunting ! .......2006-10-06

This is a classic euro cult thriller from Jess Franco that definitely belongs in every fans collection without a doubt. Some very beautiful cinematography,great score & also some great body language acting from Franco film regular Soledad Miranda(Vampyros Lesbos). "She Killed In Ecstasy" is not perfect & definitely has it's dated flaws,the end could have been done better/more realistic,but these problems don't do much harm to it's all around haunting beauty or the core of it's morbid/creepy premise.

Jess Franco at his best.......2006-09-13

This is most likely Jess Franco's best movie ever. The music is excellent (same as in Vampyros Lesbos), the scenery is beautiful and there's plenty of Franco's trademark zooms. Soledad Miranda makes a haunting performance and the supporting cast (including Paul Muller, Ewa Strömberg, Howard Vernon and Franco himself) also do a good job.

Overall, the style is very much like that of "Vampyros Lesbos", but the pace is faster, which makes it more enjoyable. This film is truly a classic that should be appreciated by film buffs in general and Franco fans in particular. A must-see!

Visually exuberant.......2005-08-06

"She Killed in Ecstasy" it's a kind of number 2 from Jesus Franco's classic "Vampyros Lesbos". The cast is almost the same, some locations too. And, of course, the beautiful Soledad Miranda (or Susann Korda), the Countess Nadine from Vampyros, stars both movies. She had very expressive eyes, and was a good actress. The story is common, a young woman who wants revenge, but Jesus realize's with in a diferent way. Her scenes on the sofa are hot, and the first scene, when Soledad appears with the black dress and the purple coat, are a good moments.
It's an interesting movie.

My favorite Franco movie. .......2006-06-10

This film is a sister-piece of the better known "Vampyros Lesbos". It has much of the same cast, the same beautiful scenery and the same funky soundtrack by Manfred Hubler and Sigfried Schwab. But "She Killed in Ecstasy" is better paced than the longer "Vampyros Lesbos", and in my opinion a better movie. This is my favorite Jess Franco movie.

One of the absolute worst!.......2003-11-16

I understand that this film is an example of the late sixties and early seventies porno/horror genre, and all that entails; but despite all its necrophilia and mild gore (if you like seening middle aged Catholic hyppocrites killed nude) you might find this entertaining. The only thing worth looking at is the leading lady, and even that gets boring. If you were to be totally stoned or drunk, it might to amusing to create your own laugh track.

I'm a big fan of Euro-horror (Argento, Fulci, etc.) and I know Franco isn't trying to do the same thing, but this is one of the absolutly worst films I have ever seen--bar none, and I've seen thousands.

You people have got to be kidding........2003-01-09

I'm thinking the only appeal this thing has is the result of those having viewed the "shocking" material as an adolescent and are nostalgiac for that moment. If it's kitschy humour, well then... I admit that while that is not my favorite thing anyway, I found it to be too poor to be funny (except maybe for the soundtrack). I can't believe the cinematic and acting kudos being thrown about. In all fairness to the rest of you, though, this was an experimental look at a "genre" for me - I shan't go there again.

Alas, Soledad Miranda...........2002-07-14

Soledad Miranda, billed as Susann Korda, once again captivates and arouses as the femme fatale in "She Killed in Ecstasy". The weird SF gold metal bra she's wearing in the flashbacks with her doctor husband alone is worth the rental. That, plus the scene depicted on the DVD cover in which she contemplates all the horrible things she's done to avenge her husband's death and dishonor--she effortlessly conveys her ecstatic madness.

Soledad easily seduces those men and women responsible and kills them in ridiculous ways. The victim's blood looks like chocolate syrup but she's got pure murderous lust in her obsidian eyes. Not for nothing is Tim Lucas' short bio of her called "The Black Stare of Soledad Miranda."

The soundtrack, as in "Vampyros Lesbos," is super, if often seeming out of place. Several times, however, it achieves a melancholy grace, as when she grieves, naked, over the body of her husband. Beautiful and heartbreaking. This is a cool little flick if you like Eurotrash cinema with small moments of brilliance. Really, Soledad Miranda died much too soon-- what a star she could have been

Low Blood - High Charged Euro Slasher.......2002-03-31

Soledad Miranda puts on an electric proformance in this minimalistic Euro Art Slasher. Great soft porn. But as far as the slasher generia goes very low gore value. Unlike many Jesus Franco movies the plot is very straight forward. There is little to guess about. Miranda's husband is hounded to death. she seduces and kills his four chief detracters. No complications, no layiering of meaning or symbol. Absolutely great if you want to see Miranda proform or see a few grissly murders.
