The film is most notable for being the first Italian hardcore pornographic film to be shown in Italian theatres, and one in a series of four hardcore pornographic films D'Amato shot back-to-back in the second half of 1979 in the Dominican Republic, the others being the porn/horror crossover films Erotic Nights of the Living Dead and Porno Holocaust, and the pornographic thriller Hard Sensation. Although Sesso Nero was the last one of these films to be shot, it was the first to be distributed and shown in Italian theatres.[2]
The film is also notable for its thematic richness unusual for the genre, including the theme of illness, voodoo haunting, and the final gory scene of self-castration.[3] It has been called the best film of early Italian hardcore film production by experts on the subject[3] and has become a cult film.[4]
