The Science Fiction Horror and Fantasy Film Review
This is not a topic that is concerned with love scenes or gratuitous nudity in numerous films or discussions on how sexuality is portrayed – for which see Sex in Fantastic Cinema. Rather this list is focused on genre films made with the primary purpose of providing sexually explicit scenes. Content can be either hardcore (sexually explicit acts and penetration shots) or softcore (rarely more than bare breasts and occasional pubic glimpses)
The pornographic film emerged in the 1970s and graduated to video in the 1980s. Before this was the nudie. By the 1990s, softcore erotica became a niche on the cable market and theatrically released erotica had almost completely died away.
There have been numerous genre derivations on classic stories including the erotic adventures of Dracula, Frankenstein, Dr Jekyll/Mr Hyde and The Invisible Man, even zombie erotica. There has also been a steady stream of porn films that parody the titles of familiar mainstream releases but with an X-rated spin.
Softcore version of Thir13en Ghosts with ghosts hunters wandering through a house and seeing various girls making out. The various encounters seem to lack even the basic conviction from those involved
One of the films from cult director Jesus Franco, one effort among Franco’s mostly cheap output where his mix of softcore erotica and pretensions towards artiness were at their most inspired. On the other hand, the film is written with a randomness that makes it impossible to understand anything that is happening
One of the numerous Virtual Reality films to come out in the mid-90s, this seems undecided whether it wants to be an SF or an erotic film
An adult film about aliens that visit Earth to repopulate their own species and abduct women during sex whereupon they stimulate them with the penises that come out of their mouths
