Brigade Anti-Sex

About This Movie

Brigade Anti-Sex is one of those peculiar curiosities from the early '70s that teeters on the edge of exploitation and dark comedy, though it doesn't quite settle into either. The film features a bizarre central figure, a bald sex maniac with an obsession for automotive parts, delivering a unique, if unsettling, take on the crime genre. The pacing feels off-kilter at times, perhaps intentionally so, leading to an atmosphere that’s both tense and absurd. The practical effects employed in the murder scenes are definitely worth noting, as they highlight the film’s low-budget roots while managing to evoke a visceral response. Performances are uneven, but there's a certain charm in the detectives who form the 'anti-sex brigade,' offering an odd counterbalance to the chaos unleashed by the killer.

Brigade Anti-Sex has seen limited releases, which adds to its elusive nature as a collector's item. The film is somewhat scarce on physical media, heightening interest among those who delve into the obscure. It's an intriguing piece for those who appreciate the bizarre facets of 1970s cinema and its sometimes questionable moral landscapes. As a conversation starter, it can easily pique the curiosity of fellow collectors looking for something off the beaten path.
