Andreas Bethmann is a German film director, producer, and screenwriter. Beginning his career making horror films, Bethmann moved on to hardcore pornography in the late 1990s, and then to fusions of the two genres, which typically feature prolonged scenes of rape, torture, and gore. His style of filmmaking has been compared to those of Joe D'Amato[1] and Jesús Franco[2] (who made cameo appearances in several of Bethmann's projects).
Along with making films, Bethmann distributes them through the label X-Rated Kultvideo, acts as editor for magazines such as X-Rated and Art of Horror, and has authored a number of books, including Deep Wet Torture Handbook, Freitag der 13. Chronicles, Jess Franco Chronicles, Deep Red Gore Handbook: Die 100 blutigsten Horrorfilme, Porno Holocaust - die Filme des Joe D'Amato and Über dem Jenseits - die Filme des Lucio Fulci.
Partial filmography
Bethmann's films are usually released in multiple versions, such as censored or director's cuts.[1] While his work is predominantly straight and lesbian-themed, a few of his films have had male on male scenes, examples of these being Notgeile Knastjulen zur Unzucht erzogen [3] and Angel of Death 2: The Prison Island Massacre.[4]
