Netherlands released, PAL/Region 0 DVD: LANGUAGES: English ( Dolby Digital 2.0 ), Dutch ( Subtitles ), SPECIAL FEATURES: Interactive Menu, Scene Access, SYNOPSIS: This ultra-bizarre, ultra-low-budget cult flick for adults (written by underground maverick George Kuchar) is most definitely not for all tastes. While it starts out as an atmospheric gothic horror tale, it quickly turns into a raunchy, graphic, blackly comedic sex-fest, as polymorphically perverse Gertie (Eaton) gets off by watching her houseguests explore a room full of naughty toys. Sexual encounters then continue in full force, as various partners of both genders hook up. If none of this sounds appealing (chances are it won't to most viewers), you'll find that Eaton, with her hopelessly skewed eyebrows, is by far the best aspect of the film - her performance is so sincerely melodramatic that one almost begins to root for her, despite her clear mental imbalance. There's an entire website devoted to the (supposedly) imminent 'special edition' DVD release of this film, which until now has only been available as a bootleg;

Yes, this is no-budget comedy art porn. It's funny and tasteless. If you haven't got a sense of humour, you'll hate it. The music is comedy porn music, mostly boogie-woogie done on a honky-tonk piano. The dialogue and acting are like a mad travesty of Tennessee Williams (that will be the George Kuchar influence). I first started going to the Scala Cinema in London in 1978 when it was in Tottenham Street, and I watched Thundercrack every time they showed it, so that I suspect the other reviewer and I were at some time in the same audience together. After Curt McDowell died in 1987 (and the Scala cinema closed in the early 1990s) the negs and most of the prints seem to have fallen out of existence. The DVD is a Dutch release made from a surviving print, unfortunately in very poor condition, and it doesn't really bring back the good old days for me (when Bernigra's Icecream parlour was still in Tottenham Court Rd, and The Sun in Lambs Conduit Street was not yet a Fosters emporium)

I have not seen this since the early eighties but once seen never forgotten...It's black and white and a little like an Ed Wood film but even weirder as the histrionic thespians are as corny and/or wooden but the content is,well,pornographic but also...Comic...As indeed are the hammy efforts of pro pornographists,which do nothing for me,frankly...Thus a bit of a shock as a young man...The film includes a tragic interspecies love affair with a man and a female gorilla (A man-Or woman?-in a furry suit,actually,or at least I hope so)amongst other droll bizarreries such as feminine masturbation with a collection of peeled cucumbers...Ahem...I will say no more only to warn the curious that it's unlike either Blade Runner or Pride and Prejudice...Gross,weird,funny, mad,sick,is a reasonable summary if that's your bad taste but personally I want the full length version mooted on that other site,the better for a cleansing immersion in the filth that removeth recalcitrant sins, as it were... It's bonkers fun,buy this one or await the other one.

Not for Everyone, But A TRUE MUST-SEE! For Those Who LOVE Their SILLY Done By MASTERS
9 May 2011
Los Angeles Filmex --back in the '70s --I'm standing in line, in the dark on the westside of town, waiting to get into a midnight screening of something called, 'Thundercrack!' I'm with my best bud from work who has convinced me, 'You GOTTA SEE this THING!' I had no idea what to expect. What I got was indescribable Laugh-Out-Loud SILLY FUN! The amazing George Kuchar screenplay was Ridiculous Nonstop Hilarious MELODRAMA, very arch and played seriously, as if it were a matter of life or death! A rundown of events in the film would do it an injustice --It was a TRUE Movie Experience! The entire production has the look and feel of an inspired student film, by very talented Amateurs, but these guys are very sharp Artists. There are several 'effects' shots that are very simply done, but stylistically perfect, and the acting is fittingly over-the-top, considering the material --imagine an old Dorothy McGuire/Rock Hudson potboiler whipped to a Hysterical FRENZY! The porn is pretty decent, too. Overlong? Could it be they were having so much fun making the thing, that it was just hard for them to stop?
For those with a taste for BUG-NUTS GREAT, WHAT-THE-HELL IS THIS?, put it on your bucket-list, cause you GOTTA SEE this THING!

Embrace the absurd.
25 Feb 2009
There's been a website touting a US DVD release of this for a while now, nothing yet it seems. This is one of those films that shouldn't exist. A completely aburdist, hardcore xxx cult behemoth! It runs over two hours and is filled with some of the silliest moments in film history. I don't own this DVD, but believe me, you need to see it.
