Description

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!"

    Great sexploitation!

    Always wanted to own this one. The Defilers is one of the best black and white roughies out there. And the bonus movies is just as gloriously sleazy!

    Sleazy piece of history

    Considered the first and definitive roughie, I found it pretty tame by modern standards. You can see the blueprint the ‘70s grindhouse filmmakers took from this.

    Rough (s)exploitation classics

    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.
