Wild Side

About This Movie

So, 'Wild Side' is an interesting piece from 1990 that dives into some pretty edgy themes. The film features a reserved black yuppie whose life gets turned on its head when his sister-in-law and her gang of motorcycle thugs crash into his world. It’s got this gritty atmosphere, a mix of tension and humor, and the pacing really knows how to keep you guessing. The performances, especially the sister-in-law's sultry teasing, are something else—definitely not your typical family drama. It feels raw and has that unmistakable early '90s vibe that can be hard to pin down but is absolutely there. A unique exploration of identity and rebellion, you could say it’s a wild ride both thematically and tonally.

Wild Side has had a bit of a mixed history in terms of format releases, often overshadowed by more mainstream titles of its time. As a result, physical copies can be somewhat scarce, especially on VHS, which makes it an intriguing find for collectors. The film's niche appeal and its exploration of rebellious themes resonate with a certain segment of enthusiasts, adding to its collector interest and potential value.
