 Each film combines its subgenres differently, and can enlarge the influence of one by minimizing the others.Where a film such as "Fatal Attraction" contains relatively brief scenes of softcore sex and illicit romance before stockpiling psychological thriller action, films such as "Secret Games" and "Sexual Malice" invert this by foregrounding feminized romance and softcore sex with a minimum of noirish thriller plotting.Though every writer on the subject encapsulates the erotic thriller film differently, the overlapping of the suspense thriller, romance, and softcore sex film is the unique domain of the erotic thriller.
