10 Shocking Movies About Kinky Fetishes

4. Necrophilia - Sleeping Beauty

Sleeping Beauty Emily Browning One of the most talked about films at 2011's Cannes Film Festival, Sleeping Beauty is Julia Leigh's demented, loose adaptation of the classic tale, which takes Hollywood "It" girl Emily Browning - who was fresh off her sexy turn in Zack Snyder's Sucker Punch at the time - and places her as a college student who finds employment at a brothel, but get this - the men don't pay to have sex with her. In fact, the men are reminded of the "no-penetration" rule, and instead, the men simply pay to spend the night sleeping next to her, while she's zonked out from a drug, essentially resembling a corpse (Browning's super-pale complexion no doubt adding to that sentiment). Though nobody has sex with a corpse, the implications are spelled out for the viewer to make; though we gain little insight into the men paying for these acts - other than them being old - it's pretty clear that this is the inference.
