Спермула (1976)

“Spermula” (1976) is a French horror and science fiction film directed by Charles Matton. The film follows a group of astronauts who discover a strange planet inhabited by a race of seductive and immortal women called the Spermulites. The Spermulites lure the astronauts into their web of pleasure and use their sperm to procreate. However, the astronauts soon realize that their bodies are being drained of all vital essences, and they must find a way to escape before they become victims of the Spermulites’ insatiable thirst for life force. The film is an outrageous and visually stunning piece of surrealist cinema, filled with eroticism, violence, and haunting imagery. The original French title is “Spermula,” which references the film’s central theme of reproduction while also conjuring the image of a mythical, quasi-scientific creature. The film is a daring experiment in genre-blending, combining elements of horror, sci-fi, and erotica to create a unique and unforgettable cinematic experience.
