Charles DeSantos was a jack-of-all-trades in San Francisco’s underground film world. Collected here are three of his rarest feature efforts.
THE SINFUL PLEASURES OF REVEREND STAR: Reverend Star and his evil sex slaves are prowling the streets of San Francisco, on the search for gullible women to join his fiendish cult.
KINKY TRICKS: Candy is a young hooker recently released from prison. Showing up on old flame Elliot’s doorstep she begs for a place to stay. To help make the mortgage payments, Candy and her friends start using the house to pull Kinky Tricks, doing everything from Cowboy to Bigfoot themed role-plays. Anything and everything goes in this San Francisco shot, unconventional, free for all.
