Just announced!

**ANNOUNCEMENT #2**

Lastly today, and going up for pre-order along with FATA MORGANA on March 28th at 9 AM Pacific is one of the sleaziest of all the Spanish “Clasificada S” films, directed by Paul Naschy collaborator Carlos Aured …
SEX APOCALYPSE (1982)

A kinky gang of free-loving criminals, three women and two men, come into possession of the keys to a large and luxurious villa belonging to a man travelling abroad for an extended period of time. Taking advantage of the extra space and security of their new home, they decide to try a shot at the big-time and kidnap a rich man’s daughter, intending to hold her for a million-dollar ransom. Discovering that the girl has enjoyed a privileged and sheltered upbringing and is also a virgin, two of the female members of the gang decide to induct the hostage into their own sexually liberated ways. But they find out that she may be a lot wiser than they thought. And soon a dangerous power struggle is set in motion, a struggle that ends in a deadly and shocking “apocalypse” of sex and violence.

In Spain from the late 1970s, after the law was liberalized, there was an explosion of sex films on the country’s screens. These films were classified by the censor as “S”, meaning that they might offend the sensibilities of the viewer. Carlos Aured - director of four films starring horror icon Paul Naschy - made SEX APOCALYPSE, one of the most notorious of all the “S” movies. The film was released in two versions, the “S” rated softcore original and a hardcore version for distribution in Italy. This two-disc limited edition Blu-ray includes both versions of the film and should not be watched by the easily offended.

NOTE ABOUT THE VERSIONS OF THE FILM IN THIS RELEASE –

SEX APOCAPLYSE was originally produced as a strong soft-core movie, to be released in Spain within the “S” film classification. That’s the version you can see on disc one of this package. Towards the end of production, the film was sold to an Italian company who asked for some hardcore sequences to be created for a version that would only be distributed in Italy. This was done after an agreement with the female cast. For the parts requiring male involvement a specialist actor was hired who spent a day providing the necessary inserts (pun unavoidable).

The version on disc two is a composite of the original “S” rated film with these added hardcore shots. This material was taken from four different VHS sources as we were unable to locate the negative of these additional shots. We believe that the extended version on this disc incorporates all the extra material that was shot on that busy day in Spain back in 1982.

I wouldn't call the softcore cut better.

Is this any good? I like Aured's other films and hardcore doesn't bother me.

I didn't think much of it. Rather a dull kidnap affair. At least the hardcore version adds some sleaze to it (it gets into roughie territory). Lina doesn't have much to do in it.

If they managed to film that amount of hard stuff in a day, I'm impressed.

Edit: I did paste a link to the hard version, but from the length it's probably just been cut to show the sex scenes so I removed it. The hard version I've seen is 92 minutes. I also have a Spanish DVD of the soft version.

Jared said he's ONLY seen the softcore version, not sure which one Pete Tombs as seen albeit he might have seen both hence the reason.

The original Italian hardcore version is shorter (68 mins long compared to the 74 min Softcore version). The version I have is a composite print that is 96 mins long. Looking forward to seeing what the extra 12 mins contain.

That explains the shortened version that I was going to link to, it was only 68 minutes. You can insert a lot of foreign objects in 12 minutes, this film seems to have an obsession with that!

The Italian porn version is the version I first saw & it was NOT English friendly. The ONLY other version I've seen is the 96 min composite one that had subs.

Here is what's different between the 2 versions https://www.movie-censorship.com/report.php?ID=765349
