Under the Franco dictatorship, Spain's rigid censorship laws controlled all national entertainment. But following Franco's death in 1975, certain films began to embody a period in Spanish history when cinematic expression became political freedom. Spanish audiences considered these films - featuring graphic explorations of sex, violence and horror - to be a cultural 'exorcismo.' These 18 films, including landmark features directed by Eloy de la Iglesia, León Klimovsky, Javier Aguirre and Eugenio Martín, range from those that dared to actively subvert the oppressive regime to productions made during the post-Franco era of '70s/'80s exploitation excess. Also included is the award-winning Severin Films original documentary EXORCISMO: THE TRANSGRESSIVE LEGACY OF CLASIFICADA "S" narrated by Iggy Pop, in which writer/producer/director Alberto Sedano explores the history behind the notorious rating that rocked Spanish culture, changed the face of genre films and left its mark on global cinema forever. The majority of the titles in this unprecedented collection are Worldwide Blu-ray Premieres scanned in 4K from original camera negatives, curated with a 168-page book of essays, stills and posters, plus over 21 combined hours of new and archival Special Features.
