 Dark's "Carnal Crimes" (1991), his first film with Axis, created a strong noir-romance subgenre for the erotic thriller, placing a female protagonist at the center of a romanticized story abundant with feminine imagery and softcore sex, setting the stage for many erotic thriller films to come.Dark's subsequent filmography is a connoisseur's collection of erotic thrillers in this mode, including "Mirror Images" (1992), "Secret Games" (1992), "Night Rhythms" (1992), "Animal Instincts" (1992), "Body of Influence" (1993), and "Object of Obsession" (1994).Dark eventually left the erotic thriller genre to direct music videos for Britney Spears and Mandy Moore, among others.
