Swingers, a sinister house, and mortician siblings turn one wild night into a nightmare.
BEHIND LOCKED DOORS
Terry and Ann are two "swingers" who spend the night in a spooky old house, where they're subjected to bizarre sexual experiments by Mr Bradley and his deranged sister.
Quick Answer
Behind Locked Doors is a 1968 American horror-thriller film directed by Charles Romine about two swingers who become trapped in a secluded house run by a deranged mortician and his sister, where they are subjected to disturbing sexual experiments.
Programmer's Pick
If your taste skews toward the bizarre and the erotic, Behind Locked Doors is a slow-burn descent into psychosexual horror, complete with mortician weirdness and locked-room paranoia. Charles Romine’s take on the 'swingers in peril' formula is as much about atmosphere as it is about exploitation—expect both in spades.
