Golden Temple Amazons
In 1982 Jess Franco created this blithely twisted drama that is equal parts Buñuelian black comedy, over-the-top soap opera and furiously perverse sex shocker: Lina Romay stars as a pensive young nymphomaniac whose life on a remote island with her father, stepmother and mentally-challenged sister seethes with violence, incest and some of the most degenerate scenarios of the entire Franco canon.
James Darren stars as a traumatized trumpeter sucked into a whirlpool of psycho-sexual horror along with his sultry girlfriend (singer Barbara McNair), a kinky lesbian (Margaret Lee), a depraved playboy (the legendary Klaus Kinski) and the mysterious insatiable beauty (luscious Maria Rohm) who may lead them all straight to Hell.
