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!

Before becoming the face of Australian horror, with his classics like Patrick and Turkey Shoot, Antony Ginnane, like many independent producers, decided to wet his filmmaking feet in the then lucrative sex film market and devised an ingenious plan to create sexploitation movies that would satisfy the Australian censors, while still being packed with America's biggest sex stars. The resulting works were FANTASM and FANTASM COMES AGAIN.

In FANTASM, a sexy send up of 'white coaters,' a European 'doctor' introduces a series of bawdy vignettes covering a range of shocking and deviate behaviors, including lesbianism, devil worship, and some old standbys like group-gropes. Directed by future Hollywood filmmaker Richard Franklin (Psycho II, Cloak & Dagger), FANTASM is a funny and stylish sex film that, while technically softcore, does everything in its power to push those limits as far as they can go...and sometimes beyond. Featuring Rene Bond, John Holmes, Uschi Digard, and many more!

In FANTASM COMES AGAIN, two editors for a sexual advice column read through countless letters from readers which outline their most perverse and outrageous sexual encounters, ranging from an unexpected threesome in a stalled elevator, a shocking after hours orgy, intergenerational desires,  and so much more. The directorial debut of Colin Eggleston (Long Weekend), FANTASM COMES AGAIN ups the raunch-filled ante of its predecessor and stars: Serena, Bill Margold, Cheryl 'Rainbeaux' Smith, Candy Samples, and dozens more!

Peekarama is proud to present the world Blu-ray debuts of both FANTASM films, newly restored in 2K.

Reviews

A great double feature!

"These are both so much fun, part two being my favorite of the two. Bill Margold is fantastic in it and all the ladies are pure fire. Great picture quality as well! Get this release!"

Craig K. (5/5)

Another Gem added to my Collection

"Although these films are softcore, there still both extremely sexy. The films looks their best having been released in beautiful 2K so the picture quality is excellent. Comes loaded with Extras and great artwork on the cover. Definitely recommend to a collector or if you want some extremely sexy soft core."

"Fun couple of films which is absolutely worth the price."

Ryan F. (4/5)

So glad it didn't come a third time

"In all honesty, I only bought this because Uschi Digard stars in this, I knew it was going to be softcore when I ordered. It feels like watching a nudie-cutie film, but it's 10-15 years too late, and the full softcore footage takes away the cheekiness you might have expected. The introductions by "professor Freud" I found tedious, as opposed to the intended humourous, although arguably necessary to advance the pretense of a story. It truly was a slog to watch through, and I sincerely doubt I'll give it another go, so much so that I couldn't face watching the included sequel. On a brighter note, the presentation of the feature is decent, any restoration that was required has clearly been done. VS's work is the only reason this title receives 2 stars."

Luke S. (2/5)

Fun

"Both films contain a fun, often humorous assortment of vignettes that are sure to entertain. Appearances from the likes of Rene Bond, Uschi Digard, and John Holmes are a bonus."
