The erotic thriller was among the most commercial genres of its era and one of the most disreputable, which are frequently the same thing. It rose fast, printed money, buried itself under imitators, and then quietly disappeared from cinemas — a full life cycle you can trace from one 1981 debut to the streaming libraries where the form now dozes.</p>Sun, 05 Nov 2023 13:00:00 +0000
