With the Hollywood heat of Fatal Attraction burning up the box office, Roger Corman’s team would up the steamy sex and triple the kinky thrills with Body Chemistry, a hit that would spawn three sequels and line your local video store with countless imitators. It’s a late night Skinemax scorcher, a slick soft-core classic to catch on cable when your parents went to sleep. A hulking, often shirtless Marc The Beastmaster Singer gets knotty (bondage!) as a doctor researching sexual response who crosses professional barriers and becomes entangled with a titillating new coworker (Lisa Pescia). But when he tries to break off the tumultuous affair, he ignites a psychological war that will arouse his desires and engulf his family. It’s a searing example of an erotic thriller, the blistering genre that boiled billions of hormones in the ‘90s!
