The twisted and perverse films of Jess Franco, a list of 25 titles.
A list of twenty five films directed by Spanish director Jess Franco. These films range from gothic horror, to explicit tales of sex and perversion. His wife Lina Romay is in many of his films, more often in the sex and perversion type. I've grown to really like his films, especially the morality tales, and horror. If you like European movies with a dash of sleeze, give Jess Franco a try.
