Forbidden Flesh

About This Movie

Forbidden Flesh is quite the oddity from 1968, mixing that late '60s counterculture vibe with a rather salacious narrative. The film unfolds with a simmering tension, as this traveling salesman finds himself cornered by two eager young women, leading to some bizarre and quite risqué tales. It’s got this raw, unpolished feel that captures a certain edgy atmosphere of the time. The performances, while not exactly top-tier, have this charming spontaneity that holds your attention. The pacing can feel a bit uneven, but it adds to that unpredictable nature of the plot, making it distinctive among the era’s offerings. You’ll find a lot of practical effects and a sense of authenticity that can be quite refreshing.

Forbidden Flesh has had a bit of a varied release history, with limited availability on home video formats. Its cult status among collectors is rising, particularly for those who appreciate the more outrageous side of late '60s cinema. Finding a good copy can be a challenge, given its niche appeal, but it tends to pop up at certain genre festivals or specialized sales, drawing attention for its eccentric storytelling and raw performances.
