American Psycho (2000)

The Director: Mary Harron

The Cast: Christian Bale, Jared Leto, Willem Dafoe

Based On: Bret Easton Ellis’ American Psycho

What It’s About: Vain and psychotic Wall Street investment banker Patrick Bateman (Christian Bale) embarks upon a path of murder, depravity, and obsession with climbing to the top of the social ladder of 1980s New York City.

What To Expect: Based on Bret Easton Ellis’ novel of the same name, American Psycho has everything you’d want into a bloody, hyper-sexual, and satirical deconstruction of the stereotypical Wall Street banker from the 1980s. But be warned, this one gets intense, to say the least.

The Immaculate Room (2022)

The Director: Mukunda Michael Dewil

The Cast: Emile Hirsch, Kate Bosworth, Ashley Greene

What It’s About: A couple is chosen to take part in an experiment where they will receive $5 million if they can stay in a nearly empty room together for 50 days. But as the game goes on, the pair finds themselves losing touch with each other, and reality in general.

Kinds Of Kindness (2024)

The Director: Yorgos Lanthimos

The Cast: Emma Stone, Jesse Plemons, Willem Dafoe

What It’s About: Three separate yet loosely connected stories revolving around people embarking on personal journeys – a man breaking free of his monotonous life, a cop coming to terms with his wife’s personality change, a woman seeking a spiritual guide.

What To Expect: Considering director Yorgos Lanthimos’ track record, it should be no surprise that Kinds of Kindness has a quirky sensibility and doesn’t shy away from nudity or sexual encounters, of which there are a lot.

Andrew Scott and Paul Mescal in All of Us Strangers

All Of Us Strangers (2023)

The Director: Andrew Haigh

The Cast: Andrew Scott, Paul Mescal, Claire Foy

What It’s About: A lonely screenwriter forms a passionate relationship with a mysterious neighbor around the same time he visits his family home and reconnects with his long-deceased parents.

What To Expect: Without giving too much away about the All of Us Strangers ending, please note that this movie will make you laugh, cry, feel nothing, and then increase your heartbeat with its sensual scenes of intimacy, all in under two hours. Oh, and if you’re into mind-bending dramas with jaw-dropping moments (of multiple varieties), this is for you.

The Director: Brandon Cronenberg

The Cast: Alexander Skarsgård, Mia Goth, Cleopatra Coleman

What It’s About: A novelist goes on a vacation with his wife where they meet a mysterious couple with a dark secret. Soon, the man finds himself in a dangerous game of survival where no one and nothing is to be trusted.

What To Expect: With wild hallucinatory sequences, grotesque body horror, and some of the most extreme sexual content on Hulu, Infinity Pool is more than deserving of its NC-17 rating. But don’t let that scare you off, as this directorial effort from the son of body horror legend David Cronenberg is outrageously fun to watch.

Margaret Qualley in Sanctuary

Sanctuary (2023)

The Director: Zachary Wigon

The Cast: Christopher Abbott, Margaret Qualley

What It’s About: A wealthy hotel heir and his dominatrix take part in an intense game of cat-and-mouse where they push each other, and themselves, to the breaking point.

What To Expect: This racy, unique, and sexually explicit cinematic experience will make you laugh, warm your heart, make you squirm, and break you into a million little pieces by the end of its 90-minute runtime.

The Three Ways cast

Three Ways (2022)

The Director: Jamal Dedeaux

The Cast: Andrea Lewis, Ronin Lee, Brittany S. Hall

What It’s About: A woman attempts to break out of her comfort zone and engage in a threesome with her new boyfriend and another woman.

Deep Water (2022)

The Director: Adrian Lyne

The Cast: Ben Affleck, Ana de Armas, Jacob Elordi

What It’s About: A husband and wife make an arrangement that allows the latter to have various affairs in an attempt to prevent them from getting divorced.

What To Expect: With Adrian Lyne, the director of iconic erotic thrillers like Fatal Attraction and Indecent Proposal, behind the camera, you should have an idea of what goes down in Deep Water. Spoiler, this one doesn’t disappoint in that regard.

Stream Deep Water on Hulu.

Fire Island (2022)

The Director: Andrew Ahn

The Cast: Joel Kim Booster, Bowen Yang, Conrad Ricamora

What It’s About: A group of friends goes on a long-awaited vacation where everything that can go wrong does, resulting in some unexpected and over-the-top situations.

What To Expect: Inspired by Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice, this raunchy romantic comedy is far more R-rated and sexually explicit than the classic story of Elizabeth Bennett finding true love with Mr. Darcy. With brief instances of male nudity, several sex scenes, and conversations that would make even John Waters blush, this one has it all.

The Director: Sophie Hyde

The Cast: Emma Thompson, Daryl McCormack, Isabella Laughland

What It’s About: A widowed retiree forms a strong bond with a male sex worker over the course of several encounters in a hotel room.

What To Expect: This delightfully sex-positive movie does have some racy scenes, but it also has a lot of heart. If you’re looking for laughs and passion, this should do the trick.

With so many racy movies coming and going from Hulu, make sure to come back for new experiences or to revisit an old memory you just can’t let go.
