Martine introduces her next "victim" to the gardener

An insane sculptress, is released from an institution by her psychiatrist after mutilating a man with a straight razor. She returns to her villa's basement of horrors, featuring the tortured victims of her seductions and sadistic murders. Who will be her next victim?

Alain Petit wrote the adaptation of Sade's PHILOSOPHY IN THE BEDROOM for Franco which includes mannequins, stripteases, voyeurism, whippings, hardcore footage and much more. With Lina Romay and Robert Woods. 

I have a weakness for horror movies featuring mad artists (cf Corman's BUCKET OF BLOOD), and Franco has made a lot of movies about that subject. Franco would revisit the same Sade story with GEMIDOS DE PLACER.
