The Memory of Eva Ryker (1980)
Originally airing on May 7, 1980, on CBS, The Memory of Eva Ryker was directed by Walter Grauman (The Disembodied, Crowhaven Farm), written by Laurence Heath (who wrote Stunts Unlimited, a TV movie I’ve been searching for forever) — based on the book of the same title by Donald Stanwood — and produced by Irwin Allen, […]
Dead Tides (1996)
What if Roddy Piper was a Navy SEAL down on his luck who got mixed up with a femme fatale played by Tawny Kitaen in an erotic thriller? Yes, this sounds like an AI movie that I’d write just for myself, but it’s real, and it’s directed by Serge Rodnunsky, who went from being part […]
Invasion of Privacy (1992)
The Jennifer O’Neill career trajectory has me obsessed. Cover Girl and Eileen Ford model to Rio Lobo in the Summer of ’72, followed by Reincarnation of Peter Proud and a career in Italy, where she made The Innocent and The Psychic before coming back to America and drinking while Disney cut her hair for The […]
Deadly Obsession (1988)
Jenõ Hódi is the founder and managing director of the Budapest Film Academy. He studied in America at Columbia University, where he was taught by Milos Forman, Brian De Palma, Frank Daniel, John Avildsen and Dusan Makavejev.

Illicit Dreams (1994)
Andrew Stevens seemingly took on the male lead in almost every erotic thriller of the 1990s.

She’s been abused by her husband, Dr. Daniel Davis (Joe Cortese), for […]
Pretty Maids All In a Row (1971)
Based on Pretty Maids All in a Row by Francis Pollini, this combination of sexploitation, comedy and murder mystery — let’s just call it Giallo — was directed by Roger Vadim from a screenplay by producer Gene Roddenberry. It was sold on the idea that eight new actresses were making their debut- all young and […]
Body of Influence 2 (1996)
This isn’t a sequel to the Madonna movie Body of Evidence, but instead more of a remake than a sequel to the superior 1993 Gregory Dark-directed movie Body of Influence. This is a one-and-done for director, writer and music supervisor Brian K. Smith, who tells the tale of psychotherapist Dr. Thomas Benson (Daniel D. Anderson) and his […]
Hidden Obsession (1993)
In 1981, I would have been nine, and maybe I wasn’t yet ready to recognize when the opposite sex was attractive to me. That said, my grandfather had one poster in his room, one he’d framed and placed next. to his bed. It was the famous Heather Thomas photo of her getting out of a […]
Animal Instincts (1992)
Somehow, I got this far into a month of erotic thrillers without doing a Gregory Dark movie. Well, as it is, I’m close to seeing all of his non-adult films. And yes, you know, I’ve seen all of the Dark Brothers movies and wish someone was willing to unleash a 4K of one of them. […]
