REEFER MADNESS / SEX MADNESS BLU-RAY

Kino Classics + Something Weird Present Forbidden Fruit: The Golden Age of the Exploitation Picture Volume 2 - REEFER MADNESS and SEX MADNESS!

Dope-Created Ecstasy Avalanching into Frightful Perversions! No films better represent the 1970s midnight movie phenomenon as REEFER MADNESS (1936) aka Tell Your Children, The Burning Question) and SEX MADNESS (1938) aka Human Wreckage, They Must Be Told): two finger-wagging camp classics that hysterically warned the public of the horrors of marijuana and syphilis. But the more we discover about the exploitation genre, the more we learn the true hepcats were the ones who made the films: ruthless opportunists who produced raunchy, ribald melodramas loaded with sex, drugs, and violence, and enabled them to be shown by wrapping them in a tissue-thin pseudo-educational message. These two essential cult films are presented in definitive editions, meticulously restored from 35mm elements. Restored with the cooperation of the Library of Congress and The Film Detective.
