About The House of Strange Desires
There is a house of strange desires where erotic spirits consume the orgasmic energies of those who dwell within. Here an artist's hands are possessed by seductive ghosts. Again and again, completely out of his control, the artist adds wild and lustful figures to his paintings; the exotic imagery begins to happen in reality. No one can resist these sensual apparitions. The ghosts take control of the minds and bodies of their victims, filling them with intense desire.
Directed by Lawrence T. Cole, The House of Strange Desires leans on a strong ensemble — Tamara Longley, Mike Horner, Jill Ferrar — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about fantasy titles of 1985.
