Two roughie shockers from David F. Friedman!
Everything they touch is stained! THE DEFILERS are Carl (future filmmaker Byron Mabe) and Jameison (Jerome Eden), a pair of sadistic beatniks who spice up their boring lives by imprisoning an innocent young woman (the “mouth-watering 20-year-old Scandinavian screen find” Mai Jansson) in the basement of an abandoned building. A quintessential "roughie," THE DEFILERS is a stylishly squirm-inducing shocker from exploitation film legends David F. Friedman (SHE-FREAK) and R. Lee Frost (HOUSE ON BARE MOUNTAIN).
She turned men on, turned them off, and turned them inside out . . . she’s A SMELL OF HONEY, A SWALLOW OF BRINE! Stacey Walker (THE NOTORIOUS DAUGHTER OF FANNY HILL) stars as Sharon Winters, the ultimate tease who gets her kicks by picking guys up and then screaming for help. As she leaves a trail of broken men in her wake, will she ever meet her match? Written and produced by David F. Friedman and directed by THE DEFILERS star Byron Mabe, this is, as Friedman's original ad campaign proclaimed, "an adult experience!"

"Greasy and rough, with great vintage locale footage, these films are presented here in great fashion, a good selection of what the genre in the '60s had to offer. The visual presentation in terms of AV quality and slipcover is amazing and inviting, making this an easy purchase."
"Another great release another Friedman roughie, unfortunately missed the slip."
"Another fantastic release from AGFA, Smell of Honey was actually the one I found more interesting, but a great introduction to the 'roughie'"
"Two very enjoyable Dave Friedman roughies that look wonderful on blu ray. Don't forget to listen to the commentaries."
"Another interesting collection from AGFA."
"These are movies of the days gone by when subject-matter and honest film-making used to be the priority."
"I’m happy I upgraded these exploitation flicks to Blu-ray."
"Excellent as described"
"Loved discovering these through Something Weird, so it’s even better to see them get the cultural deluxe treatment here."
"Really liked both of these two early roughie films. Parts are still very jarring, even seen all these years later. Amusing dialog, beautiful and sexy women. Bad boys, bad girls. Delivers on all fronts. The special features, particularly the commentary tracks, were a great listen and I liked the inclusion of the booklet. Couldn't be happier."
