Lusty

About This Movie

Lusty (1986) has this odd blend of tension and absurdity. Robin Cannes carries the film with a kind of quiet desperation, trying to escape her pressures but landing in an even weirder situation. The hotel itself, with its over-the-top decor and Suite 69, feels like this surreal character—everything is amplified and slightly off. The pacing has this steady build, keeping you guessing what strange twist will happen next. Not much in the way of known genres or fancy effects, but the performances, especially from Cannes and Tony Martin, are what really stick with you. It’s one of those sleeper titles that gets under your skin for how bizarre yet oddly captivating it is.

Lusty has been a bit of an under-the-radar title, often overlooked in discussions about 1980s cinema. There are limited formats available, with early VHS releases being quite rare now. Collectors seem to appreciate its unique blend of oddity and performance, making it a sought-after piece for those who appreciate the quirky side of film history.
