More information on the documentary:

Under the Franco dictatorship, Spain’s rigid censorship laws had repressed any form of sexuality outside of Catholic marriage. But following Franco’s death and the consolidation of democracy, Clasificada “S” films–restricted to those over 18 years old, with the warning that their content may offend the sensibilities of the viewer–embodied a period in Spanish history when sex went from being a sin to becoming a cinematic expression of political freedom. In EXORCISMO: THE TRANSGRESSIVE LEGACY OF CLASIFICADA “S”, writer/producer/director Alberto Sedano explores the history behind the rating, the battles it fought, and the distinctive dramas, thrillers and horror shockers that subverted the values of the former dictatorship. Narrated by Iggy Pop, featuring revealing interviews with actors, directors and historians, and showcasing clips from films by Jess Franco, José Ramón Larraz, Ignacio Iquino, Eloy de la Iglesia and many more, EXORCISMO tells the incredible true story of a film movement that rocked Spanish culture, changed the face of genre films, and left its transgressive mark on global cinema forever.

What films are mentioned in the doc? That trailer shows a lot of VERY short clips and the only one I recognized was Human Animals, which is still currently available from Mondo Macabro.

Huh. Interesting list. I already have about 1/3-1/2 of those, some of them from Severin themselves. I find it hilarious that Extra Terrestrial Visitors (the shambling ET ripoff crossed with killer alien movie) is on there.

The trailer for this is going to be awesome. Hopefully the movies will be good or entertaining or both.

Severin really goes all out for boxsets. I’m excited to see what’s included.
