Strangers Online (2009)
Actress Tara Killian was so awesome in Slaughter Studios (2002), I figured this, her last IMDb credit, was worth a shot.

Dr. Moreau's House of Pain (2004)
Charles Band's take on The Island of Dr. Moreau. You'll meat a bevy of "manimals" - a charming and diminutive pig-man, a monstrous mountain-lion/hyena man, and a scorching hot cat-woman. Let's check it out...
Pretty Cool Too (2007)
The first Pretty Cool movie was a surprising treat. It was like American Pie, but more risque- especially the more graphic version (released as Emmanuel Pie). Amy Brassette's insane "cat in heat" scene is among the most memorable WTF sex scenes I've ever seen on film; so, for that alone, I'd say the sequel is worth at least a look...

The Psychic (1968)
The backstory to this odd, disjointed mess is described in Bleeding Skull:
In 1967, Herschell Gordon Lewis was hired by the ESP-obsessed script writer James Hurley to direct Something Weird. While Something Weird is one of the greatest gifts in human history, Hurley wasn’t so thrilled with the outcome. So a year later, he rehired Lewis to produce a reworking of the film. It was called The Psychic and filmed in Chicago. The distributor was bored with the finished film, so Lewis went back and shot some softcore inserts. Voila! Everyone’s happy! And a magnificent train wreck is born.

Come to My Bedside (1975)
Original Title: Der Må Være en Sengekant!, Sexy Symphony in Italy, and Come to My Bedside in North America. The usual Danish players are here: Ole Søltoft, Annie Birgit Garde, Søren Strømberg and others. Would you believe this is the tenth Ole Søltoft flick covered on VZ1? I can't help it. I've developed a real love for these risque romps from Denmark.

Private Lies (2000)
Well, here we go again, folks. Another erotic thriller - perhaps the least respected genre ever. The late eighties brought them on (along with Silk Stalkings, basically the erotic thriller made for TV), and they were a mainstay for late-night cable - especially "Skinamax". The plots were all very contrived and precious little differed from one movie to another - always a murder, inheritances, adultery, etc. featuring sex scenes with terrible background music (new jazz or hair-metal guitar noodling).
Despite their reputation, I find them enjoyable. The T&A factor is rarely lacking, and they provide the same earnest cheesiness you find in old-school exploitation films. But the genre never quite garnered a cult following (yet); there are no zombies, vampires or horror elements, and the subject matter always is pretty "meh", offering little in the way of the oddball creativity you might find in a Russ Meyer, Jesús Franco or Ed Wood Jr. flick. So, with precious little to latch onto, I can understand their current low-tier status. But they're day is coming, so let's have a look at an example - complete with generic forgettable title, a trademark of the genre.
