A window to the spectral world, the work of Antoine Pellissier—a physician by day and horror maestro by night—is the underground answer to Jean Rollin. FOLIES MEURTRIERES AND THE FILMS OF ANTOINE PELLISSIER is a 2-disc set that presents Pellissier's complete filmography for the first time on home video. From dreamlike slasher FOLIES MEURTRIERES to gore-soaked epic MALEFICIA, these handcrafted art-horrors from France are heavenly discoveries for discerning horrorheads. This set also includes the long-lost, uncut version of LES PROIES DU MAL (Pellissier's first feature) and DR. GORE, a feature-length documentary from Pauline Pallier.
