Wet Wilderness is a 1976 pornographic horror film directed by Lee Cooper and starring Faye Little, Alicia Hammer, Raymond North, and Daymon Gerard. It was produced by Robert Thomas.
A mother, her son and daughter, and the daughter's girlfriend are out in the woods on a camping trip. While the mother and son head to a cabin, the daughter and her girlfriend go to a clearing, where they have sex. While the two women fornicate, they are happened upon by a machete-wielding man in an orange balaclava, who forces the two to perform various sexual acts on him, and each other. While her girlfriend is fellating the masked man, the daughter flees, with the man giving chase after he stabs the girlfriend in the crotch with his machete.
The man follows the daughter to the rest of the family, sexually abuses the mother, and forces the daughter to perform oral sex on her brother. After he sodomizes the mother, the man has her and her son copulate, and while he is distracted watching the two, the daughter makes a run for it. While stumbling through the woods, the daughter finds a man bound to a tree, and unties him after he says the masked man had captured him three days ago. Just as the daughter unleashes the man, the rapist (who has killed the son offscreen) appears with the mother in tow. The rapist makes the man, the daughter, and the mother have a threesome, then murders the man by striking him in the chest with an axe.
After he has the mother and daughter clean the dead man's blood off themselves, the rapist forces the two to perform oral sex on him. As her mother fellates the man, the daughter grabs his discarded machete, and castrates him with it (off screen).
Wet Wilderness was called "reprehensible in pretty much every possible way" by AV Maniacs, which also said the film's potentially offensive content was dulled by how inept and poorly acted it was. [1] A score of seven out of ten was awarded by The Movies Made Me Do It, which concluded that Wet Wilderness was "not a masterpiece and it's not a perfect film even by the low standards of the genre, but it is an entertaining little flick that fans of this sort of trash will certainly enjoy". [2]
Wet Wilderness was released on DVD in 2008 by After Hours Cinema, in a double feature with fellow "roughie" Come Deadly . [3] The film was redubbed and given a new score for this release, as the original version made illegal use of music taken from both Psycho and Jaws . [1]
Grindhouse is a 2007 American film written and directed by Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino. Presented as a double feature, it combines Rodriguez's Planet Terror, a horror comedy about a group of survivors who battle zombie-like creatures, and Tarantino's Death Proof, an action thriller about a murderous stuntman who kills young women with modified vehicles. The former stars Rose McGowan, Freddy Rodriguez, Michael Biehn, Jeff Fahey, Josh Brolin, and Marley Shelton; the latter stars Kurt Russell, Rosario Dawson, Vanessa Ferlito, Jordan Ladd, Sydney Tamiia Poitier, Tracie Thoms, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, and Zoë Bell. Grindhouse pays homage to exploitation films of the 1970s, with its title deriving from the now-defunct theaters that would show such films. As part of its theatrical presentation, Grindhouse also features fictitious exploitation trailers directed by Rodriguez, Rob Zombie, Edgar Wright, Eli Roth, and Jason Eisener.
I Stand Alone is a 1998 French psychological drama art film written and directed by Gaspar Noé as his directorial debut, and starring Philippe Nahon, Blandine Lenoir, Frankye Pain, and Martine Audrain.

Smart Alec, aka Smart Aleck, is a 1951 pornographic film. The silent short, which is no more than 20 minutes in length and was filmed in black-and-white, was one of the most famous and widely circulated of the early underground pornographic era. It has been called "iconographic", "the best known of all American stag films", and the "apogee of the American stag tradition". The leading actress, then known as Juanita Slusher, a buxom young woman of age 16 who appeared substantially older, later went on to fame as the stripper Candy Barr. Barr was working as a prostitute at the time, and was forced to feature in the film by one of her clients. At the time there was a rumour that the man was Gary Crosby, son of Bing Crosby. It was shot in a Dallas hotel, which was the setting for several other pornographic shorts of the period. Other sources, such as the Internet Movie Database, report that the stag film was shot in San Antonio and the young Juanita was inveigled into appearing in it by a patron of a Dallas strip club where she worked as a cigarette girl and had sex with generous tippers.
