Synopsis:
Yet another of Franco’s variations on De Sade’s PHILOSOPHY IN THE BOUDOIR. While it lacks the star power and scope compositions of DE SADE 70 and the hardcore grunginess of COCKTAIL SPECIAL, EUGENIE 80 is one of Franco’s best works of the eighties and has the elegance of the Harry Alan Towers production and is satisfyingly explicit without being XXX. Eugenie (Katja Bienert) is on vacation with her family (the resort is the same ornate building used in SHE KILLED IN ECTASY and THE PERVERSE COUNTESS) and is noticed by a decadent couple who seduce her parents in order to initiate Eugenie into their games of perversion. Franco’s eighties regulars Antonio Mayans and Tony Skios are on hand as well as Lina Romay as the decadent couple’s “pet dog.” A must see.Read More »

Quote:
“Sure, you’ll have difficulties finding this one – but try to get it, because it’s THE Katja Bienert film you always wanted to watch; the one you HAVE to watch if you’re into mid-80s-sleaze and a beautiful young girl displaying her wonderful body and her absolute incapability of acting.”…

User review from imdb by Michael Elliot:
Silly but entertaining sex comedy from Jess Franco set in Central America. The story revolves around four prostitutes (including Lina Romay, Pamela Stanford) who are on the run from a group of bandits and hide in a convent pretending to be nuns. The film runs a very short 63-minutes, which is just about right since we mainly get comedic sex scenes involving the four girls trying to sleep their way out of trouble. There are also countless lesbian scenes and Franco certainly knows how to shoot these and make them very erotic. The print I viewed was in French only and was P&S so hopefully a remastered version will show up at some point.Read More »

In this surreal and sensuous mystery/noir, Lina Romay (The Female Vampire, Lorna the Exorcist) plays Irina, a partner in a male-female mind reading act. At night she experiences vivid and charged dreams which end in murder. It seems that the people whose minds she reads are being killed off one by one. In the 1980s, after the death of the Spanish dictator, Jess Franco returned to his native country and made a series of films in which he was given almost total freedom. Night Has A Thousand Desires is one of the most artistically successful of these films. It’s filled with familiar Franco touches – artful cinematography, atmospheric locations, naked women, an avant garde soundtrack – and it features one of Lina Romay’s most committed performances.Read More »
