Trial by Copulation

About This Movie

Trial by Copulation is one of those oddities in the late '90s sci-fi realm. The film takes a surreal dive into a world where arrest doesn't mean guilt, and Mister 'H' finds himself spiraled into a series of intense, erotic encounters that explore desire and power. It has this gritty atmosphere, mixing thriller elements with a heavy dose of sexuality, which may not sit well with everyone, but that’s part of its unique charm. The pacing can be erratic, but it somehow enhances the tension. While the director remains shrouded in mystery, the practical effects are surprisingly decent for a low-budget film of its time. Each encounter feels exaggerated yet grounded, making it a distinct piece for genre collectors.

Trial by Copulation has become somewhat of a rarity in collector circles, partly due to its unconventional narrative and limited home media releases. The film was originally available on VHS, but finding it in good condition today can be a challenge. Interest is growing among genre enthusiasts who appreciate its blend of science fiction and eroticism, making it a curious, if niche, addition for any collection.
