IN THE FOLDS OF THE FLESH

An escaped convict named Pascal Gorriot happens to witness an attractive woman named Lucille disposing of her second husband Andre's corpse.

Thirteen years later, Andre's cousin shows up at Lucille's villa and he is stabbed to death by Andre's daughter (Falaise) who is still living there. Lucille's son kills the visiting cousin's pet dog who arrived with him. Soon after, another friend of the family moves into the villa and seduces the criminally insane Falaise, who decapitates him afterwards.

The escaped convict returns to the scene, down on his luck, and decides to blackmail Lucille for murdering her husband years earlier. He winds up in an acid bath.

The police investigate the chain of murders going on at the villa. The film even has a brief flashback to a WW2 Nazi death camp, scenes from which were used exploitatvely in the sleeve design of the British Redemption video release.

The chain of murders at Lucille's villa comes under police investigation, while flashbacks reveal traumatic past events and further violence.

The film concludes with the authorities closing in on the villa's blood-soaked secrets, while the characters’ fractured psyches and histories are laid bare. The use of flashbacks—particularly to traumatic wartime events—suggests that the cycle of violence is rooted in deep psychological wounds. Ultimately, the ending lands as a feverish unraveling of the tangled web of lust, guilt, and madness that defines both the family and the villa itself.
