In the past couple years, we’ve gotten a lot of sexually-charged “psychological thrillers.” From Fifty Shades of Grey–which played more like a romantic drama than a delve into complicated BDSM relationships–to Addicted–which played more like 28 Days meets Pornhub–we’ve seen a lot of these films.

Ok, I know what you’re thinking. “Dammit, Speed! Stop picking on bald, black guys.” But, hey!
