More on VEROTIKA (2019):
"Verotika" is a 2019 horror anthology film written and directed by Glenn Danzig, based on his comic book series of the same name. The film consists of three separate stories, each exploring different aspects of erotic and violent horror.

The first segment, titled "The Albino Spider of Dajette," follows Dajette (played by Ashley Wisdom), a young woman with a strange facial feature that causes her to cry distinctive tears. As she falls asleep one night, her tears transform into deadly albino spiders, leading to a horrifying series of events in her life.

The second story, "Change of Face," revolves around a stripper named Mystery Girl (Kayden Kross), who has the ability to remove her face like a mask and wear the faces of other women. However, her bizarre habit quickly takes a dark turn when she becomes obsessed with collecting a series of macabre trophies.
In the final segment, "Drukija Contessa of Blood," a vampire queen named Drukija (Rachel Alig) seduces men into her web of desire and gore, ultimately preying on their bloodlust. As her reign of terror continues, a group of women rises up to confront her and put an end to her sadistic rampage.

"Verotika" is an unconventional and visually striking film that delves into dark and sexually charged themes. It presents a surreal and brutal portrayal of horror, where beauty and violence coalesce, creating a unique blend of eroticism and grotesqueness. While the film has garnered both praise for its audacity and criticism for its execution, it undeniably stands as an intriguing and polarizing entry in the realm of cult horror cinema.
