Written by George Kuchar, Curt McDowell’s Thundercrack! employs classic, old dark house tales of yore to create a trash classic; a knowing, sexual melange that is at once cheap, camp and direct, yet constructed with incredible, technical dexterity. The house alone stands as an erotic reverie – gradually opening up through cutaways and superimposition. And as thunder strikes outside, so the sex inside proliferates.

Contains scenes of unsimulated sex.
