Bockens hus (Blu-Ray)

Three escaped convicts rob a gun shop in Stockholm before heading into the countryside, where one of them has hidden a stash of money. They seek refuge in an old manor and take the owners hostage. But the family that lives there proves to be both bizarre and depraved. Soon, everyone is entangled with everyone else, sexually and otherwise, until all boundaries collapse and it becomes unclear who truly holds power inside the manor.

Per-Axel Arosenius also appeared in exploitation titles like Thriller – A Cruel Picture (1973), Maid in Sweden (1971), Wide Open (1974) and Fear Has 1,000 Eyes (1970) — as well as Hitchcock’s Topaz (1969). Lasse Lundberg, an editor and film producer, acted in films like Anita – Swedish Nymphet (1973) and The Language of Love (1969). Inger Sundh and Britten Larsson were familiar names in Swedish sexploitation, with roles in Dagmar’s Hot Pants, Inc. (1971), Eva – the Outcast (1969) and Anita – Swedish Nymphet.

The director Shogoro Nishimura made 85 Roman Poruno films for Nikkatsu between 1971 and 1987.

“Swedish sin” was popular and Sweden could not make enough films to satisfy the Japanese market. The Japanese company Nikkatsu therefore flew a team to Sweden from 1971 to 1973 and shot six films with the slogan "Sweden Poruno", all Japanese fantasies about Swedish sin, played by Swedish actors.

Klubb Super 8's release of Nikkatsu's newly restored films is the first time ever that the films have been shown outside of Japan.
