Kinky Tricks

About This Movie

Kinky Tricks is a rather peculiar slice of 1970s drama that dives into the seedy underbelly of adult life. It follows Candy, a young hooker fresh out of prison, who turns to her old flame for refuge. The film's atmosphere is gritty and raw, often blurring the lines between desperation and dark humor as Candy and her friends embrace eccentric role-plays to survive. There's a certain charm in the practical effects and low-budget aesthetics that captures the era's spirit. The pacing feels a bit uneven at times, but it allows the characters’ complexities to shine, especially as they navigate societal judgment and personal choices. It’s a fascinating study of survival and identity in a world that often overlooks the vulnerable.

Kinky Tricks has become a bit of a curiosity in collector circles due to its unusual premise and the obscurity of its director. It seems to have had limited releases, and finding original prints can be a challenge. The film's cult status is slowly growing, particularly among those who appreciate the raw authenticity of 70s cinema with its blend of drama and unconventional storytelling.
