Description: "There's only one way to overcome temptation - by giving into it!" Peter de Rome brings a balanced measure of storyline, emotion, and steamy sex to this classic gay horror/porn hybrid, which is simultaneously artful, campy, and haunting. Based on a Poe story, the film focuses on Caswell Campbell, a priest on sabbatical, torn between the call of the cloth and his pent-up feelings. Religious repression leads to internal - and physical - fragmentation as Caswell repeatedly glimpses his sexually ravenous doppelganger and is drawn into a bizarre underworld of supernatural sex, with rough man-sex, spanking, circle jerks, food play, and other kinky, surreal, stylized sex scenes abounding! Moody photography by Jack Deveau, hypnotic editing from Robert Alvarez, and excellent music selections enhance the film's atmosphere, it all culminating "in a nerve-shattering climax of frenzied emotion" (Torso Magazine). A one-of-a-kind film that you truly have to see to believe! (Newly remastered by Bijou Video in 2024 and now presented in the best quality ever available on home video/streaming.)
