Red Nights is a 2010 Hong Kong psycho-sexual thriller described by filmmakers Julien Carbon and Laurent Courtiaud as an homage to giallo, complete with sadistic murders and sexual kink. On Oct. 21, the film will finally get its stateside release on DVD.

Sexy Frédérique Bel plays a French woman on the lam in Hong Kong after murdering her lover and stealing a mysterious artifact containing a poison that kills people through absolute pleasure (carbs? alcohol?). In Taiwan, she meets a mobster and female assassin out to take the potion from her.
