1979, indie film producers opt to shoot their porno in rural Texas.
The crew rents a home from a frail, elderly couple and begin filming.
The porn “plot” is typical of the era: a disabled motorist encountering horny farmer’s daughters.
Throughout this slow burner, a fragrance of sultry dread builds.
Of which the crew seems unaware, until the tension boils over.

The homework for this is excellent. The TV preacher looks like Brother Lester Roloff.
Lone Star beer, blue eyeshadow, mini-skirts, tube tops.
One of the players, Mia, seems a cousin to another naughty innocent, Desireé Cousteau.
Unsettling to many viewers is likely the unpleasant contrast between youth and decrepitude.
Ripe and its inevitable rot into decay. No one envisions being grandpa after a few turns.
