 The Black Room (1982) Elly Kenner/Norman Thaddeus Vane.


A handsome, IMMEDIATELY strange couple of bourgeois degenerates, rent out a luxurious room in their isolated abode to those seeking a secret love-nest, only to evilly appropriate their lusty tenants for malign blood rites, and salacious peek-a-boo action! The lively plenitude of T&A really keeps this 80s weirdie afloat, and the soapy dialogue drags it back down, happily, the audacious blood-letting pulls it back to the surface again! Cult status is afforded all too blithely these days, The Black Room, while mostly amusing, and engagingly frisky at times is much like the loony landlords macabre drinking habits, as Thaddeus Vane's inhospitable The Black Room remains an acquired taste. One especially neat visual gambit is the light box softly illuminating the salty shenanigans within the sultrily silk-draped stag room, hats off whoever came up with that, since it really is strikingly effective! While I greatly prefer Vane's magnificent 'Horror Show aka 'Frightmare', The Black Room is absolutely worth a watch to fans of outré, post-Manson/Acid-dazed splatter.
