Basic Instinct It’s hard to believe that the genre of erotic thriller is now almost considered a lost cinematic art form of the 1990s. Featuring lurid stories consisting of deceitful women, betrayal, and lots and lots of sex, these films became a never ending staple on late night pay cable during that decade (practically leading […]
Basket Case Director Frank Henenlotter’s tribute to the low-budget grindhouse flicks of the 60s and 70s (dedicated to H.G.
