Proof that in 1973, mental health care was best left off the big screen.

Programmer's Pick

If your appetite runs toward the scandalously sordid, My Deep Hunger serves up a buffet of exploitation: love triangles, mental hospital horrors, and revenge all seasoned with simulated sex and roughie edge. With Cleo O'Hara and Sandy Carey stirring the pot, this is a wild dish from the darker side of 1970s sleaze.
