From there on it?s a series of test situations which manage to get everyone together, sexually and socially, before dawn brings everything to a rousing conclusion.?Jack Babuscio, London Gay News
Taylor, Sight and Sound ?Thundercrack is the hardest of hardcore pictures ? the most sexually explicit movie I?ve ever seen in Britain: solo, lesbian, heterosexual and mixed male couplings are viewed with a remorseless camera. This is, in short, a steamy spoof filmed with a sure and witty grasp of genre conventions whose prevailing mood is one of buoyancy and exhilaration. But it?s also strenuously subversive in its eroticism. Thundercrack is simply pro-sex-sex of all sorts??

?According to one British film writer, the late Curt McDowell’s 1975 underground porn classic Thundercrack “starts out on a dark and stormy night with a group of strangers stranded in a remote Victorian mansion. . . . A crazed hostess [has] her husband pickled in a jar and her monstrous son locked in a spare room. From there on it is a series of test situations which manage to get everyone together, sexually and socially, before dawn brings everything to a rousing conclusion.”
