Critical reception
Lee Pfeiffer of Cinema Retro called the film "downright weird", writing: "Whatever early talent Tobalina might have conveyed on screen is compromised by the bare bones production budget, which was probably close to zero."[2] He noted that the film would likely appeal to "baby boomer males who want a trip back in time to an era in which such fare was considered daring and controversial", and to fans of cult sexploitation films.[2]
Lawsuits
Infrasexum was brought to court in the state of Colorado on the charge of being "obscene material", but the court sided with defendant Tobalina.[1] In response to the case, Tobalina filed a counterclaim against the prosecution, which included the mayor, state attorney general, and governor of Denver.[1]
On June 27, 1970, manager Asa Lloyd Peoples and projectionist Gerald L. Brooke were arrested for screening Infrasexum in a Birmingham, Alabama movie theater.[3] They were claimed to have violated two city ordinances regarding obscene material, and the film was seized and held as evidence to be used in their prosecution.[3] Peoples, Brooke, and the company that owned the theater filed a lawsuit in federal district court, alleging that the ordinances in question were unconstitutional on account of their vague and broad natures, and for not providing accused parties with a proper hearing prior to their arrest or the material's seizure.[3] The district court decided that Brooke would be enjoined from prosecution.[3]
Home media
In 2016, the film was restored in 2K and released on DVD by Vinegar Syndrome.[4]
