The biggest stars, best directors, and highest production values; that is a QUALITY X film. These deluxe Blu-ray editions of some of the genre's masterpieces, along with plenty of hidden gems, offer beautiful restorations and plentiful bonus features, all presented in homage to its namesake of esteemed New York film distributor, Mature Pictures, the company which almost single handedly raised the bar for outstanding sex films, and whose films will be included in this fittingly elegant collection.
Jon is hoping that his aloof boss, Martin Van Nostrand, will offer him a promotion at work. When Martin invites Jon and his wife Amy to his home for a mysterious “night of games,” Jon senses that this will be his one opportunity to make a good impression on Martin and prove his deservingness of the promotion. But nothing can prepare them for what Martin and his beautiful wife Elaine have in mind for their "night of games," as the wealthy couple engage their naive guests in a bid to outdo each other’s strangest sexual desires.
From the twisted mind of acclaimed erotic filmmaker, Shaun Costello (Waterpower, Pandora’s Mirror) comes a journey into the darkest and most debauched of sexual fantasies: MIDNIGHT DESIRES.

Another Costello winner!
"Shaun Costello's Midnight Desires is another favourite of mine. In his familiar vignette style, a pair of couples visit a country mansion where Jamie Gillis seems to live in a different timeframe mentally, and throughout the evening, recount their various sexual fantasies. The absolute highlight is Vanessa Del Rio as a gangster's moll in a sleazy scene set in a boxing gym. Please Melusine, restored uncut editions of Water Power and Sex Wish!!!"
— Raymond L. (5/5)
A portmanteau erotic film with some odd touches
"Classic erotica with a bit of production value (a stately mansion provides the main hub where 4 different stories, one a time period piece) and some daring stuff (the story with Eric Edwards explores some unusual corridors of male sexual curiosity). Add to that a butler who interrupts the proceedings by giving his master (Jamie Gillis) newspapers reporting on the Nazi regime and you know you have somewhat of an oddbal film."
— Tim V. (4/5)
