Gay Erotic Thrillers
We love a good erotic thriller. Although the best known entries of the genre usually concern straight characters, they always seemed to have a slightly over-the-top camp sensibility – plus icy femme fatales that have inspired countless drag homages. Though the erotic thriller heyday of the late ‘80s and early ‘90s are long behind us, there has been plenty of similar cinematic intrigue in the world of LGBTQ+ film. We’re spotlighting a few of our favorites from around the globe. Get seduced by this sensual collection of films that walk a razor’s edge between pleasure and danger – all from the safe comfort of your own home.
