Voices of Desire is a 1972 exploitation horror film directed by Chuck Vincent. The film stars Sandra Peabody.
Plot
Detective Holland calls in Anna Reed to recount her claims that she was involved in a cult whose members were either murdered or committed suicide. Anna narrates a series of flashbacks.
She receives a call at a telephone booth in the city one day, and hears voices calling her name. This causes her to become possessed. Later, at home, she is suddenly overcome by a force, which causes her to give into pleasure.
The possession leads her to a mansion, where she is seduced by a group of ghoulish hosts. Anna attempts to escape, but is ultimately overcome.
At the end, we return to the present, where Anna is talking to the detective. Anna wanders back out into the city, where she hears the voices again. The film ends showing the door to the mansion being thrown open, with the ghoulish cult there waiting for her.

Reception
The film has generally been met with positive reviews. Luna Guthrie said "this movie most definitely has style, to the point where you may even refer to it as 'arty' in a very guerrilla way. By today's vomit-inducing standards, Voices of Desire is most certainly not porn, and it probably takes more of a sentimental person like myself to enjoy it. It is far more appealing to see lovers enjoying and embracing each other's bodies than abusing and objectifying them. This is a fun, relatively sexy, delight from the long lost annals of psychedelia."[1]
