Xiro Papas emerged as a notable actor in the early 1970s, contributing to the landscape of cult cinema with his performances in films like The French Sex Murders (1972) and Frankenstein '80 (1972). Born in the era of exploitation and giallo, he embodies the raw energy of the genre, appearing in The Devil's Wedding Night (1973) and Frankenstein's Castle of Freaks (1974). His work in Sex, Demons and Death (1975) further cements his role in the exploration of taboo themes and provocative storytelling that define the cult film movement.
Sex, Demons and Death
Marcello (Gabriele Tinti) and Micaela (Magda Konopka) want to have a child, but it seems Micaela has medical issues preventing a pregnancy. Marcello wants to go to Switzerland for more exotic treatments, but Micaela chooses instead to have her niece Letizia (Franca Gonella) brought home from a fancy boarding school to live with them instead (Letizia’s mother/Micaela’s sister is dead). Unfortunately for Marcello and Micaela, there is something wrong with Letizia, whose presence in their home kicks off a sinister series of disturbing events.
