Sex Mood Ring

About This Movie

So, 'Sex Mood Ring' is this curious little film from 1979 that leans heavily into the fantasy genre with a rather playful premise. A guy hands a woman a magic ring that lets her attract sexual partners, and it’s all done with this kitschy, almost whimsical vibe. The pacing is a bit erratic, but it adds to the surreal atmosphere. You get some interesting practical effects, though they’re not always executed flawlessly, which can be charming in a way. The performances are over-the-top but fit the bizarre tone nicely. It's definitely a slice of the late '70s that explores themes of desire and empowerment, albeit in a rather unconventional manner.

This film has had a somewhat limited circulation, and you don’t see it pop up too often among collectors, which adds a layer of intrigue. It was released in a few formats, but like many niche titles from its era, good quality prints can be hard to find. Interest in it has remained steady among genre enthusiasts and those looking to explore the oddities of 1970s cinema.
