Vault Note

Sometimes a country home just means more room for bad decisions.

Programmer's Pick

Freudus Sexualis pairs a forbidden apple with a side of sleaze, courtesy of a cast that didn't exactly major in drama. Between naked swimming, axe murders, and a neighbor who’s more predator than pal, this low-budget oddity is a boozy ode to sexploitation’s rougher edges.

Synopsis

Adam is back from the Army. He married Eve and they live in a country home Adam grew up in. Adam gets a new neighbor who has 'city' ties and 'city' habits. Girls swim naked in Adams cement pond and his neighbor really wants to have sex with Eve, even if she doesn't want to. Well that should be enough to make a decision for you. Campy, no acting classes for any of these sidewalk actors but I have sat through a lot worst. Have a couple shots and get a good laugh out of what would have at one time been a 'blue film'. Light sex, but hot for when it is made. Strong sexual atmosphere and rape,murder, repent.

Why Cult

Campy Sidewalk Acting

The cast's unpolished performances add an accidental layer of comedy to the film's already outrageous plot.

Sexploitation-Era Vibes

From skinny-dipping scenes to a strong sexual atmosphere, this is a time capsule of mid-'60s softcore pulp.

Morality Tale with an Axe

Murder, rape, and repentance collide in a rural setting, twisting biblical namesakes into a lurid parable.
