Based on nothing but the data on hand, it’s become abundantly clear that the erotic thriller is one of the most consistently popular genres available at the push of a button for streaming subscribers, for reasons that should be fairly obvious.

The 1984 skin flick that initially aired on the Playboy Channel in the United States and is quite literally marketed as softcore pornography has ended up as one of the Top 10 most-watched features on Vudu among Stateside audiences, per FlixPatrol.
