Among the most elusive gems of 1960s Eurohorror, Frankensteins Bloody Terror (La marca del Hombre Lobo) is a modern gothic 3-D monster mash written and directed by Paul Naschy (The Werewolf Versus the Vampire Woman). Waldemar Daninsky(Naschy) suffers the bite of a werewolf and seeks the aid of a pair of occultists to rid himself of the curse. But Dr. Mikhelov and his wife (Julián Ugarte and Aurora de Alba) are in fact vampires, and Waldemars only defense against them is to unchain the lycanthrope within. Newly mastered in 4K from 35mm elements of the U.S. release cut of the film (compromised by decomposition), this Kino Cult edition has been meticulously restored by the 3-D Film Archive and is presented in both the stereoscopic (3-D player and monitor required) and anaglyph versions (one pair of red/green glasses provided).

Anita: Swedish Nymphet

Anita: Swedish Nymphet is a 1973 Sweden / France erotic drama by Torgny Wickman.
Starring Christina Lindberg and Stellan Skarsgård and Danièle Vlaminck.  

BBFC cuts were required for X rated cinema release in 1974 and then again for 18 rated VHS in 1987. The film was BBFC 18 rated for 2008 DVD without BBFC cuts. The film exists in 3 versions, the original Swedish version, a French version and reportedly a US version with hardcore inserts. The film was once banned in Norway and New Zealand.

Summary Reviews: Cult Star

Cult star Christina Lindberg stars as Anita, a 16-year-old girl (played by a 22-year-old) who has to have sex and it doesn't matter with who. She picks up lawyers, junkies, little boys, drunks or even the homeless. Her sexual behavior gets her kicked out of towns but one day she meets a doctor who thinks he can help her. Lindberg certainly deserves her cult status. She's certainly easy on the eyes but unlike a lot of erotic stars, she can also act and she brings a lot life to her character.

This Swedish picture is rather strange because it's certainly a sexploitation title and the main goal is for the beautiful Lindberg to get naked every chance she gets but the overall tone of the movie is so serious that it's hard to have fun with the film.

The two versions of this film differ considerably; the french version has a logical plot evolution and is more sleazy than the Swedish version. The latter if more moral in tone and has an unlogical plot evolution; it also has less sex(y) scenes. In the Swedish version, the plot line of the young students forming a classical music group is more elaborated (and dull). The french version focuses more on the nymphmaniac addiction.

Promotional Material

Christina Lindberg (Thriller - A Cruel Picture) is ANITA, a teenage nymphomaniac who feels compelled to seduce every man she meets; students, hippies, businessmen and bums. After being rescued from a particularly dirty old man by a psychology student Erik (played by a young Stellan Skarsgård decades before he starred in Hollywood films like Pirates of the Caribbean, and also played a very similar character in Lars von Triers Nymphomaniac), he attempts to uncover the causes of Anitas aberrant behavior.

Directed by one of Swedens most significant sexploitation filmmakers, Torgny Wickman (The Language of Love), this cult classic uses a serious study of nymphomania as a pretext for scorching eroticism. Presented in a new 4K restoration of its original Swedish version as well as a new 2K scan of Les impures, the French theatrical version, a different edit featuring an abundance of exclusive sex and nudity!
