From infamous sleaze filmmaker Jesus Franco comes this 1974 entry about a disgraced priest who sets out to kill those people he feels are destined to spend eternity in Hell.

More from Jesus Franco, this time an erotic thriller from 1973 about a countess who must drain the "life force" of people to survive. Includes two versions of the film: a "horror version" and an "erotic version" that's a full 32 minutes longer. That's a lot of eroticism!
