Born Erect

About This Movie

Born Erect is this oddball comedy that’s both comedic and a bit uncomfortable. The pacing is a little uneven, with some scenes lingering longer than they should, but it adds to its quirky charm. The performances are somewhat exaggerated, which feels intentional given the absurd premise—Leo's struggle with priapism is played for laughs but also hints at deeper themes of desire and human vulnerability. Practical effects, while not groundbreaking, are used in a way that heightens the absurdity. The whole atmosphere feels like a mix of 70s surrealism and raunchy humor that’s just distinct enough to stand out in the genre. It’s a curious piece worth discussing among collectors, especially for its take on taboo subjects.

Born Erect has been somewhat elusive in the collector's market, with VHS copies being particularly scarce. There aren’t many releases, which contributes to its niche appeal among enthusiasts. The film’s unique premise and oddball humor have sparked conversations in various collector circles, making it a curious item for those interested in the more obscure side of 70s cinema.
