(aka "Rote Lippen, Sadisterotica" or "Two Undercover Angels" or "Sadist Erotica" or "Red Lips" or "The Case of the Two Beauties")
(aka "Kiss Me, Monster" or "Bésame monstruo" or "Castle of the Doomed")
Directed by Jesús Franco
West
Germany / Spain 1969
The Jesus Franco shocker "Undercover Angels" stars Janine Reynaud and Rossana Yanni as sexy sleuths embroiled in a bizarre mystery involving the disappearance of several women, a demented artist whose gruesome works resemble the missing girls, and his brutish sidekick. Adrian Hoven also stars. AKA: "Red Lips," "Sadisterotica." Next, Reynaud and Yanni return in the sordid "Kiss Me Monster," posing as nightclub performers out to learn the truth behind a demented professor's experiments on his remote Caribbean island. They encounter sexy lesbian killers and sweaty mutant bodybuilders who want to have their way with them. Hoven, Chris Howland, and Michel Lemoine also star. AKA: "Castle of the Doomed." *** Diana and Regina are The Red Lips, a duo of sexy sleuths who take on only the most intriguing cases. After stumbling upon the strange disappearances of several pretty young women and realizing a connection exists between several of the missing and an enigmatic artist, whose identity is shrouded in mystery, they begin an intense undercover investigation which takes them on an unexpected trail of monsters, murder, and striptease!
In their second adventure, Kiss Me, Monster, Diana and Regina have been tasked with locating a mysterious red box but quickly discover that they’re not the only ones after its contents and find themselves at odds with a secret sect, which controls a small zombie army, and who are hoping to harness the power of human cloning — the formula to which is contained within the box. As bodies (some nude, some dead) pile up, Diana and Regina race against time to stop the diabolical organization! |

On their
Blu-ray,
Vinegar Syndrome use a DTS-HD Master mono tracks (24-bit) in the
English and optional German languages. Two Undercover Angels
and Kiss Me Monster
have, surprisingly, modest aggression - a few gunshots, machine gun
fire, blow dart etc. and an occasional karate chop and scream. These
come through authentically flat with some intensity. DUBs aren't
egregiously noticeable. The score for both films is
by Jerry van Rooyen
(who had done a handful of Euro-horrors including Jesús Franco's
Succubus, plus Freddie Francis' The
Vampire Happening as well as Adrian Hoven's
Castle of the Creeping Flesh - the latter also starring
Janine Raynaud.) It all sounds clean in the
lossless transfer. Vinegar Syndrome offer optional English (SDH) subtitles on
both of
their Region FREE
Blu-rays.
Vinegar Syndrome offer a second
Blu-ray
Having mostly been exposed to select Jesús Franco's
films (like the
Fu Manchu pair that I find throwaways,) I believe I should
reevaluate my initial dismissal as the list of his features keeps
growing of efforts that I embrace;
Attack of the Robots,
Vampyros Lesbos,
The Diabolical Dr. Z.,
She Killed in Ecstasy,
The Sadistic Baron Von Klaus etc. Perhaps I am becoming more
forgiving. Two Undercover Angels +
Kiss Me Monster
have a similar appeal to
Deadlier Than the Male with a cool femme fatale pairing played by Elke
Sommer and Sylva Koscina. Here we have two Euro-based babes, French
Janine Reynaud (the aforementioned
Castle of the Creeping Flesh and
The Case of the Scorpion's Tale) and Argentinean Rosanna Yanni (The
Fox With a Velvet Tail and
Fangs of the Living Dead), navigating dangerous crimes, using
their alluring feminine attributes to solve murders within a pseudo
Bond-spy-satire, if at times amoral activities. Franco makes a couple of
cameos. Lots to enjoy including a pet werewolf-looking henchman, 'Morpho'
- the same character name that Franco himself played in his
The Erotic Rights of Frankenstein. Yes, details are rarely
fleshed-out but it's the intriguing sexploitation atmosphere, highly
attractive gals - good and bad - plus a fun, silly, Euro flavor. I
enjoyed both films that follow each other with the same character vibe.
