She Killed in Ecstasy

She Killed in Ecstasy (German: Sie tötete in Ekstase Spanish: Mrs. Hyde) is a 1971 West German-Spanish erotic thriller film directed by Jesús Franco. The film's plot borrows elements from previous Franco films Miss Muerte and Venus in Furs. The film's productions staff includes many cast members and nearly the same crew as his previous film Vampyros Lesbos.

Dr. Johnson lives in bliss with his beautiful wife until his unorthodox experiments with human embryos causes a medical committee to reject his findings and order him to discontinue his work. The unstable doctor slashes his wrists in the bathroom. Devastated, his wife vows to seduce and kill the woman and three men "responsible" for the suicide.

Reference:

The film was shot in July 1970 in Calp, Spain, less than a month after finishing his previous film Vampyros Lesbos (1971). Franco utilized the same cinematographer, film editor, and film composers as he had on Vampyros Lesbos as well as some of the cast including Soledad Miranda, Ewa Strömberg and Paul Muller.

The architecture of Ricardo Bofill features prominently in the film, in particular Xanadu.

The film re-uses plot elements from Franco's previous films Miss Muerte and Venus in Furs (1969).

She Killed in Escstacy was released on December 10, 1971, in Germany.

The film was released on DVD in the United States by Synapse Films in 2000. It was subsequently re-released by Image Entertainment in 2004. Both versions are currently out of print.
