Víbora caliente (1978)
An overlooked Western gem!
Hot Snake does not pull any punches, opening with the massacre of a group of army officers who were transporting the body of their fellow soldier along with his grieving widow. The bandit, not satisfied with the cash he manages to obtain, also attempts to rape the widow and when she puts up a fight, shoots her dead and well gets to work finishing what he started - all this before the opening credits!
Much more violent than even the Spaghetti Westerns made around the time, this Mexican Western mixes elements of the supernatural in the form of a witch and her predictions of doom regarding the fate of the bounty hunter tasked with delivering the necrophiliac bandit dead or alive. These elements set Hot Snake apart from other Westerns the barren landscape evoking a spooky sense of eeriness.
It's not all doom and gloom though thanks in large part to the gorgeous Christa Linder as Eva, our lead bounty hunter's squeeze, who provides the nudity for this picture and whilst the middle of the movie does suffer from some pacing issues, the beautiful scenery, music and aforementioned nudity make up for any such shortcomings in an otherwise overlooked Western gem.
The Voyeurs (2021)
I Like to Watch
The Voyeurs is a fantastic erotic thriller harkening back to the days where made for video titles featuring similar plots were all the rage at the local video store - so it won't come as a surprise to seasoned fans of the genre that there are multiple twists and turns along the way when a young couple, Pippa and Thomas (played by Sydney Sweeney and Justice Smith respectively), moves into an apartment and immediately discover that they have a perfect view into the sex life of their neighbours across the street. Becoming enraptured by these strangers, it becomes an unhealthy obsession for our leads, especially Pippa as the duo buy binoculars and go to extreme, and illegal, lengths to listen in on what's being said.
As with most movies of this ilk, it's best not to get dogged down by the logic or any potential plot holes - these films work due to their stylishness and eroticism and The Voyeurs features both in spades. Alongside the lovely Ms Sweeney, there's also the incredibly beautiful Natasha Liu Bordizzo as the distressed wife whose life is being spied on, plus there's plenty of nudity (both female and male) to keep everyone happy.
