ChanFamous I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.
ActuallyGlimmer The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.
Ava-Grace Willis Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.
Portia Hilton Blistering performances.
augustian This film is not all that great (Spoilers coming). Normally, erotic thrillers are right up my street but this one failed. If you can believe that someone can do surgery on your teeth without you realising, then all well and good, but really? Mind you, Jeff Lester's acting ability seems only to be staring open-mouthed into the distance or at his hands. Talking of acting, Tippi Hedren makes a small appearance and there is an amusing reference to The Birds but why she chose to appear in this dross is a moot point.The story by the way is that photographer Scott Bruin (Jeff Lester) is having nightmares in which he kills a woman (Adrianne Sachs) he has never met. When said woman turns up at his studio things start to get weird and this being an erotic thriller of course, they embark on an affair. It turns out that Scott has been the subject of an experiment in mind control run by Ken Strom (Marc Singer, who has also done better work than this).As for the eye candy, there are couple of scenes with models strutting their stuff and Shannon Tweed does a nude scene but not for long enough in my opinion. Adrianne Sachs is great in her nude scene but are glass marbles really the ultimate sex toy? That raised a laugh as well as the waterbed with an internal light - how crass is that? The film may be worth watching for the beautiful women but that is about all.
gridoon This is a slick erotic thriller with an interesting plot, lengthy sex scenes that will appeal to both men and women, and a few amusing references to Brian De Palma and Hitchcock's "The Birds". Although it bogs down a little in the middle, and has some atrocious dialogue, it is still one of Mastorakis' best efforts (out of the handful I've seen). And it would perhaps be even better if the two main actresses had switched roles, with Shannon Tweed being the mysterious femme fatale instead, and Adrienne Sachs getting the thankless supporting part. (**1/2)
zyzzyva23 I only have one thing to say about this movie, and that is that the guy sleeps on a water bed with a fluorescent light *inside* the mattress!Say what you will about the rest of the film, that alone is one of the dumbest things I have ever seen. No wonder the guy has nightmares.
Hal-59 Probably one of the worst films I have seen. The lead actor is a joke. He should be ashamed that this piece of "work" is in circulation. Not to mention a waste of money.
