Directed and written by Enzo Milioni, That Strange Desire is the story of two aliens from the planet Alpha 4 who have been on the game show Cripto-Tivvu and won a trip to our planet. They possess the bodies of Casimiro (Nico Salatino) and Peppino (Gianni Ciardo) and learn that while their race has not had sex for thousands of years, it's still an act here on our planet.

Filmed almost entirely at the former Grand Hotel Ambasciatori in Bari, this comes from the director of The Sister of Ursula, so you should not be surprised when it feels a bit scuzzy. Most of the movie feels like he turned the camera on and filmed whatever happened and then threw some wacky music over it.

For some reason, this movie has two very quick moments of hardcore inserts, which seem even more gratuitous than usual. I also wonder how this made it on the list of Italian Gothic films I've been working from, but at least I made it through this one.

The cast also includes Antonella Antinori (who did some adult as well as mainstream movies like Maya, Play Motel and Burial Ground), Marina Hedman (again, lots of adult but also appeared in Images In a Convent and La bimba di Satana, as well as Jess Franco's Elles font tout and an Amazon in Starcrash), Maria D'Alessandro (Hotel Fear, Concorde Affaire '79) and Dirce Funari (Porno Holocaust, Blue Movie and also an Amazon in Starcrash).
