(Perhaps) The First Legendary Cult Film to Mix Sex with Horror

Original French Title: LA ROSE ECORCHEE

director: Claude Mulot
starring: Philippe Lemaire · Anny Duperey · Elizabeth Teissier · Howard Vernon

When his new bride's face is hideously disfigured in a fire, a famous artist becomes obsessed with restoring her beauty. He seeks out and finds a notorious plastic surgeon who is on the run from the authorities. Using a remote castle as a base, the two hunt down and imprison a series of young girls whose skin is used in experiments aimed at restoring the face of the disfigured wife.

Claude Mulot specialized in both soft and hardcore adult films (his XXX stuff was usually signed as Frederic Lansac) but he occasionally dabbled in other genres with various degrees of success. BLOOD ROSE was an earlier horror film that found International distribution, promoted as "the First Sex-Horror film ever made"). One of his later projects THE IMMORAL ONE (1980) also found a cash bonanza at the International boxoffice. Mr Mulot died October 1982 at age 44 after accidentally drowning in Saint Tropez.
