In this bizarre world of distorted human pleasures, we have come to accept the most heinous crimes against mankind as just another example of the degeneration of our species. Even the most jaded individual could not forgive the creators of the Love Robots. Love Robots are beautiful young girls, abducted right off the street who, through a procedure that rivals anything the Marquis de Sade might have dreamt of, are turned into monsters, capable of killing a man or loving him on command.

Bob Cresse, the distributor of THE LOVE ROBOTS, produced a hardcore remake of the film in 1976, THE LOVE SLAVES. Directed by Bob Chinn under the pseudonym "Robert Husong," it's now available on Blu-ray from Vinegar Syndrome.
