In 1970’s Night of the Blood Monster (also known as The Bloody Judge), Christopher Lee (The House That Dripped Blood) gives one of his most unforgettable performances as Judge Jeffreys, the infamous 17th Century witchfinder whose unholy obsession with a luscious wench (Maria Rohm of Marquis De Sade’s Justine) fuels a jaw-dropping spree of torture, brutality and flesh-ripping perversion. Howard Vernon (Le Silence de la Mer), Maria Schell (Just a Gigolo) and Leo Genn (The Snake Pit) co-star in this twisted epic of sexual violence and sadism, directed with deviant glee by the one and only Jess Franco (The Girl from Rio).

Blue Underground new edition of the cult favorite comes from a brand-new 2023 Dolby Vision HDR 4K master, restored from various European vault elements featuring additional nudity, bloodshed and what Christopher Lee himself calls “scenes of extraordinary depravity!”
