Hotel Hyde
Evil Angel is proud to be the exclusive U.S. distributor of Harmony Video products, and the premiere title is a doozy. Directed by fetish legend Tanya Hyde, Hotel Hyde is a vignette-driven feature with very high production values and a sizzling cast of kinky European beauties. John Stagliano raves, “The music is some of the best I’ve ever heard.” Available both on VHS and a fully-loaded DVD with a “Making Of” featurette and plenty of extras.
