Sorcerer

Made during director Jess Franco's amazing early 70's period, post Harry Alan Towers and pre-porno, The Erotic Rites of Frankenstein is a surrealist masterpiece, poetic, perverse, comic, and mesmerizing. Shot for next to nothing on location in Portugal, the film is full of evocative, wide-angle, hand held imagery that must have appeared jaw-droppingly innovative at the time, and still astounds today.

Following a disastrous rescue mission (during which a pregnant woman was shot in the back at such close range that her fetus blasted out and hit him), SDU officer Lam begins seeing sexy psychiatrist Dr. Mary Fu in order to deal with the nightmarish visions he has been experiencing. Meanwhile, in a desperate quest for fame, struggling actress May allows herself to become the murderous puppet of an evil sorcerer (Ben Ng, essentially reprising his role from the earlier film) who is able to control her through a weird spider venom potion he introduces into her system. After May gruesomely dispatches a doctor and his nurse, Lam and his assistant, Si-man, are assigned to investigate. Things get hairy when the wizard places a sex curse on Lam, leaving him in a perpetual state of heat and wanting to attack everything female in sight. With information provided by Si-man’s spiritually enlightened grandmother, Lam is able to deduce that Mary is next victim on the killer’s list. Her rare birth date of February 29th corresponds with that of the sorcerer’s late wife, and the necromancer plans on introducing her soul into Mary’s body.
