Sexploitation

Before the advent of modern-day pornography, a vast and rapidly-paced world of smut peddling was the norm, complete with its own secret history. This documentary reveals the untold story of American cinema's gloriously sordid cinematic past. Starting in the 1920s, expert exploiteer David F. Friedman and Henenlotter navigate us through more than five salacious decades of skin flicks. It's the true story of dirty movies, traced in elegant detail from the bizarre locations where these nudie shorts were screened to the ongoing legal battles fought by their promoters. And of course there are the stories of the innovators themselves, people who often risked their own security and livelihood to make these films, believing in some way that what they were doing wasn't a 'bad' thing - and that it could rake in some dough.

The great Jess Franco, Still Sleazy at his 75 on time of filming, is obviously going to continue to intrigue his fans and irritate the rest of the world with the films he makes until the day he dies. In the meantime, he delivers "Jess Franco's Perversion", the DVD release title of his 2005 film, which is again based on a story by the Marquis de Sade, who has inspired many, many Franco films in the last thirty years. In "Perversion", the great Lina Romay heads a cult of sadistic lesbian prostitutes who live for the destruction of men and any woman who dares fall "victim" to a man.

Sex, laughs and large explosives combine in this action-packed double-bill. Two demented drive-in delights from the vaults of Harry Novak, both "Booby Trap" and "The Takers" are best summed up by the lovely Miss Barbi: "Listen, honey, these two are freak outs!"

Sexploitation comedy about an aspiring artist. Alan and Sue switch roles: she goes out to work while he looks after the home and concentrates on his painting. However, he fails to anticipate the time-consuming attentions of various female neighbours.

Welcome to offering from Something Weird Video, that purveyor of pulchritude, those merchants of miscreance, that storehouse of sleaze, and panderer of fine female flesh and cinematic carnality from the past half century. Exploitation's finest preservationists and historians make every release a real gratuitous grab bag, and this time around, we are privileged to witness the wanton ways of women under the influence…of SEX! That's right, all three films available on the company's DVD release deal directly with ladies who love to get lewd for all the right – and thankfully, many of the wrong – reasons.

A doctor tries to prove an unknown creature materializes inside human bodies during sex–by romping with her charges until she can capture it.
