Synopsis:

***ATTENTION: A Knife In The Water DOES NOT HAVE ENGLISH LANGUAGE OPTIONS *** Repulsion (1965): A beautiful but sexually repressed young woman lives with her older sister, but disapproves of her older sister's boyfriend. When the sister and her boyfriend go on vacation, the woman sinks into an apathic condition of depression, which leads to hallucinations and nightmares (are they?) of rape and murder.
Knife In the Water (1962): A couple driving along a deserted road to a lake almost run over a young man, a student, who flags down the car almost too closely. The driver is a self absorbed husband, the woman his pretty, irritated wife. They take him along and the husband, out of the sheer patronizing will, invites him to come sailing on their boat. During the boat ride there is clash of personalities. The boy has a habit of playing with a switchable blade knife. The husband is a self-made man and delights in showing up the boy. Their tense interaction builds to a violent climax with unexpected results. Cul-de-Sac (1966): A wounded criminal and his dying partner take refuge at a beachfront castle. The owners of the castle, a meek Englishman and his willful French wife, are initially the unwilling hosts to the criminals. Quickly, however, the relationships between the criminal, the wife, and the Englishman begin to shift in humorous and bizarre fashion.

Repulsion (1965)
Left alone when her sister goes on vacation, a sexually repressed young beauty goes insane with surreal fantasies of seduction and rape.

Knife in the Water (1962)
On their way to a sailing trip, an aging husband and wife invite along an emphatic young hitchhiker out of sheer patronization.

Cul-de-sac (1966)
The wounded criminal Richard "Dicky" and his dying partner Albie seek for shelter in an old seaside castle full of chickens and owned by the eccentric and coward American George and his slut French wife Teresa. While waiting for the rescue of his boss, Albie dies and Dicky develops a strange relationship with the odd couple.
