Jess Franco's 'The Erotic Rites of Frankenstein' Dated for Blu-ray

The 1972 sex horror is headed for Blu-ray in July.

In an early announcement to retailers, Redemption will be releasing 'The Erotic Rites of Frankenstein' on Blu-ray on July 28.

After the death of Victor Frankenstein (Dennis Price), two figures vie for control of his metallic-skinned monster (Fernando Bilbao) and the radical technology that created him: the scientist's daughter, Vera (Beatriz Savón), and the immortal wizard Cagliostro (Howard Vernon), who is assisted by a blind bird-woman with an unquenchable thirst for blood (Anne Libert).

With The Erotic Rites of Frankenstein, controversial filmmaker Jess Franco merges his fondness for old-school horror with his unique and perverse tastes in sex and violence, partly inspired by the garish adult European comics of the early 1970s.

Specs haven't been revealed yet, but supplements include an audio commentary and a trailer.
