Fear of Sex

About This Movie

Fear of Sex, while obscure and often overlooked, presents an intriguing exploration of sexuality and societal taboos of its time. The tone is a bit erratic, oscillating between dark humor and uncomfortable realism, which gives it a unique atmosphere. The pacing might feel slow to some, but it lets the unsettling themes simmer beneath the surface. Practical effects, or the lack thereof, certainly contribute to the film's raw feel. Performances lean towards the awkward side, which, instead of detracting, enhances the authenticity. It’s distinctive for how it confronts fears and anxieties surrounding sex without the gloss of mainstream cinema. Definitely a conversation starter for those interested in the fringes of 70s film.

Fear of Sex has remained somewhat elusive in the collector's market, with few reliable formats available, making original prints quite scarce. Interest among collectors seems to be growing, especially for those who appreciate the more underground explorations of sexuality in film history. While not widely discussed, it catches the attention of those who delve into the offbeat corners of 70's cinema. The atmosphere and themes make it worth exploring, especially for those looking to expand their understanding of the era's cultural landscape.
