movie world

Dwain Esper was not only one of the most notorious figures of the exploitation genre (due to his ruthless business practices) he was also its greatest stylist. With an utter disregard for the laws of cinematic convention, his low-budget films verge on the avant-garde as they breathlessly wallow in every conceivable moral vice—all in the name of public education, of course.

Marihuana (1936)
Did you know that the use of marihuana is steadily increasing among the youth of the country? Watch what happens as a teenage "pot party" leads to crime, pregnancy, insanity, and even murder in B-film auteur Dwain Esper's shocking expose.

Narcotic (1933)
From filmmaking team Dwain and Hildegarde Esper comes a creaky and freaky look at the dangers of drug addiction. Follow a clean-living medical student on a downward spiral of vice-filled "light-up" parties, opium dens, bordellos, carnival sideshows and, ultimately, death.
