Ultra Flesh

About This Movie

Ultra Flesh is one of those quirky 80s sci-fi comedies that just sits in a strange corner of genre history. It’s driven by this absurd premise of an alien arriving on Earth with a singular mission to cure human impotence, which gives it this odd, almost satirical edge. The practical effects are low-budget but have that charming DIY quality that makes it engaging rather than off-putting. The pacing can be a bit erratic, but it fits the overall off-kilter vibe of the film. Performances vary, with some actors really leaning into the absurdity while others tread a more serious line, creating an interesting contrast. It’s distinctive for its blend of humor and social commentary wrapped in a sci-fi package, making it a curious watch for genre enthusiasts.

Ultra Flesh has had a limited release history, primarily existing on VHS and a few low-quality DVD copies. It remains somewhat obscure, which adds to its allure for collectors, especially those with a penchant for underground cinema. The scarcity of quality formats keeps interest alive among genre enthusiasts seeking out hidden gems from the 80s.
