PEEKARAMA presents the wildest, rarest, and most scandalous theatrical hardcore double features. Taking its name from one of the earliest "all action" sex theatre chains, each PEEKARAMA release presents two themed, full length feature films, both meticulously restored, thus giving you the opportunity to enjoy an old fashioned dirty movie double feature at home!
John Hayes was a maverick amongst sexploitation filmmakers whose uniquely literate and often thought-provoking films left their mark on every corner of American genre cinema. Collaborating with producer Chris Warfield, Hayes’ first two hardcore features speak to his interest in death, working class dynamics, and general despair. These films are presented here from Peekarama, restored from their original camera negatives. Rosemary has spent her entire adult life estranged from her father, who placed her into an orphanage as a girl. Sexually repressed while idealizing the virtues of having a family, she rejects the advances of John, a young policeman who has fallen madly in love with her. After learning of her father’s death, Rosemary begins preparations for his wake, but as each day passes, increasingly strange events occur, causing Rosemary to question whether her father’s spirit is truly gone. A dark study of childhood trauma and grief which gives way to a fully waking dream-like state in its final act, BABY ROSEMARY offers a tremendous leading performance from Sharon Thorpe (SexWorld) along with Leslie Bovee (Lustful Feelings), Candida Royalle (Champagne For Breakfast), and John Leslie (Cry For Cindy). Andrew is nervous about his new job as a night shift cook at a tawdry diner and, after a disastrous first shift, comes home to discover his girlfriend is having an affair. After getting kicked out of his apartment, he gets a new job as a salesman, but realizes, much to his amazement, that he is irresistible to nearly every woman he meets. Using his sex appeal to further his career, everything seems to be going well until he meets hard-nosed lawyer Luana… A lighthearted romantic comedy, HOT LUNCH stars Jon Martin (Tropic of Desire), Desiree Cousteau (Pretty Peaches), and Christine De Shaffer (Pizza Girls).
