Baba Yaga

Description On The Back Cover - The psychedelic shocker based on the erotic comics of Guido Crepax.  Legendary sex symbol Carroll Baker (Baby Doll, The Sweet Body Of Deborah) stars as a mysterious sorceress with an undying hunger for sensual ecstasy and unspeakable torture.  But when she casts a spell over a beautiful young fashion photographer (the gorgeous Isabelle De Funès), Milan's most luscious models are sucked into a nightmare world of lesbian seduction and shocking sadism.  Are these carnal crimes the result of one woman's forbidden fantasies or is this the depraved curse of the the devil witch known as Baba Yaga?  George Eastman (The Grim Reaper) co-stars in this provocative EuroShocker (also known as Devil Witch and Kiss Me Kill Me) written and directed by Corrado Farina and based on the notorious S&M comic Valentina by Guido Crepax.  Blue Underground is now proud to present Baba Yaga restored from pristine vault materials and packed with eye-popping Extras, including never-before-seen erotic outtakes from the Italian Censor's archives as well as the director's own private collection.
