Erotic Thriller
The erotic thriller is a film subgenre defined as a thriller with a thematic basis in illicit romance or sexual fantasy. Though exact definitions of the erotic thriller can vary, it is generally agreed "bodily danger and pleasure must remain in close proximity and equally important to the plot." Most erotic thrillers contain scenes of softcore sex and nudity, though the frequency and explicitness of those scenes can differ from film to film. Erotic thrillers emerged as a distinct genre in the late 1980s, bolstered by the popular success of '' Fatal Attraction'' in 1987 and continuing into the early 1990s. Studio films of this "classic period", such as Paul Verhoeven's '' Basic Instinct'', were box office successes, helmed by big-name directors, and starred high-profile actors.
