Erotic Thriller
The erotic thriller is a film subgenre defined as a thriller with a thematic basis in illicit romance or erotic fantasy.

Studio films of this "classic period", such as Paul Verhoeven's '' Basic Instinct'', were box office successes, helmed by big-name directors, and starred high-profile actors. The popularity of the genre spawned a lucrative cottage industry for the burgeoning home video and cable television markets. By the end of the 1990s, cultural changes and the rise of the Internet led t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
