The Destroying Angel (Remastered)

This is Bijou's new 2024 remastered edition of The Destroying Angel, which has greatly improved image clarity and colour for an enhanced viewing experience of this one-of-a-kind classic.

Director Peter DeRome deftly balances story, emotion, and intense sex in 1976's The Destroying Angel, bringing a distinct artistic flair to a feature packed with multiple orgasms, raucous orgies and powerful masculinity. Taking nearly a year to complete, The Destroying Angel's twenty-two scenes were shot over the course of sixteen days in nineteen locations, including Montauk Point, Christopher Street and even an 18th-century cemetery. Tim Kent plays Caswell Campbell, a seminarian wrestling with a conflict, torn between the call to the cloth and his own repressed feelings luring him to homosexual sex. During a three month sabbatical from the order, he is offered a mysterious mushroom. After a single bite, Caswell witnesses a sexual adventure unlike anything he has ever known and his world opens up to infinite erotic possibilities. Taunted by glimpses of his alter-ego, Caswell is drawn into a nightmare world of hallucinogenic potions and supernatural sex!

This new edition also includes De Rome's 1970 short film The Second Coming (14 minutes, taken from The Erotic Films of Peter de Rome), which also deals with religious themes and is also newly remastered and accompanied by its original musical score.
