Who Killed the Erotic Thriller?

From Sharon Stone uncrossing her legs in THAT white dress, to Demi Moore receiving an entirely indecent proposal from Robert Redford, the naughty '90s were a high point for bold A-list casts baring all in twisted tales of glossy high-concept intrigue. These borrowed from a mash-up of horror, noir and glossy porn - and almost always seemed to feature Michael Douglas. Influenced by film noir and Alfred Hitchcock, these trashy blockbusters pulled in millions at the box-office and introduced phrases like "bunny boiler" to the lexicon. But then... they vanished. Join us as we investigate: who or what killed the erotic thriller of the early nineties? And what kind of films took its place? Where can today's audience turn for that heady mixture of A-list casts, hair-raising plots, and pulse-quickening intimacy? To find out, we'll have to closely examine the body of evidence.
