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.
Ever since they were children Angela and her brother Peter have been as close as siblings could be. But when their relationship crosses the line from fraternal love to unnatural lust, Peter withdraws to become a priest, attempting to sever all contact with his sister. Hopelessly devoted to her brother and devastated by this abandonment, Angela soon experiences the physical manifestations of his guilt, as Peter sends her to work as a maid for a sadistic couple. Soon, Angela is thrust from one horrifying experience to the next; her body affecting an almost otherworldly draw from men whose only goal is to abuse and humiliate her. All the while they repeatedly cross paths with the mysterious “fireworks man,” an almost devilish presence who may be manipulating the lives of both Peter and Angela. The second feature directed by groundbreaking filmmaker Wes Craven (Last House on the Left, A Nightmare on Elm Street), THE FIREWORKS WOMAN (aka The Fireworks Man) ranks as his most structurally experimental effort as well as his most controversial. Craven's sole foray into hardcore is both brimming with dark religious commentary as well as venerating essential works of underground erotic literature. Quality X is thrilled to present The Fireworks Woman fully uncut for the first time on video and newly restored in 4K from its best surviving film elements, along with extensive interviews which lend both historical and first-hand value to this mysterious and long obscure production.

Reviews
A tough subject as seen through Wes Craven's eyes in his only XXX film
"This was basically the film that I took a subscription for about 7 years ago. Alas, the announcement seemed to promise something that would never materialize yet then, when not expected anymore, it finally got released. How I wished Craven would have still been alive to provide some context! Outside of that, the slipcover of this looks amazing. Image quality is much appreciated though not without its flaws. The film itself has some very interesting ways of showing its very touchy subject, sometimes a dreamlike atmosphere, sometimes featuring Craven himself in the role of the Fireworks Man."
— Tim V. (5/5)
The Fireworks Man/Woman
"Another late pick-up for me, but so glad I finally added this to my collection. Eric Edwards on top form as usual. Plenty of great scenes, especially the end orgy. Highly Recommended."
— Lea L. (5/5)
Directed and shot like a horror movie
"I haven't seen any other work by Wes Craven, but this did have the visual feeling of a horror movie. It made much of the coastal New England location. Also some hallucinatory scenes including a bizarre shot near the end with a fish. At least, I hope that was supposed to be a hallucination. Music varied from porn funk to Pachelbel's Canon in D."
— David S. (5/5)
Amazing film and transfer!
"Amazing transfer and film! When I found out this was Wes Cravens first film, I immediately bought it. Any Wes Craven Fan (of age) should definitely check this one out!"
— Branden M. (5/5)
Not the Wes you are used to
"This looks great! Very interesting film, quite moody and dark as you would expect from a horror director, but also nothing quite like his other films. Cool cover, beautiful cinematography and a decent amount of extras."
— Ben C. (4/5)
Wes craven
"Pretty good film. Most of it's value is that it's a wes craven film."
— Kevin D. (5/5)
Interesting piece
"Acquired this one because I was curious about Wes Craven’s foray into adult cinema. The story is less than wholesome, but there’s a fire to Jennifer Jordan’s performance that makes it a worthwhile experience. Good, and grainy, transfer."
— Petter H. (4/5)
Wes Craven History
"Bought this for Wes Craven. The plot is creepy and weird. Idk what they were thinking in the 70s but I’m glad it got in to make elm street eventually"
— Adam R. (4/5)
Wow! A long lost hardcore
"Wow! A long lost hardcore movie by Wes Craven! Need I say more? If you are fond of these sorts of ponderous and darkly erotic films of the period (e. g. The Devil in Miss Jones) then this one is a must-see!"
— Simon B. (4/5)
Quality Porn from Wes Craven
"In between Last House on the Left and The Hills Have Eyes, Wes Craven directed this adult film starring Jennifer Jordan, one of my favorite actresses of the period. She's so sexy and adorable. As a bonus, the movie is good too. As is the transfer and packaging."
— Jason N. (4/5)
