Many a pornographer has fancied himself as an avant-garde filmmaker, claiming the X-rated territory as liberating. Notorious gonzo perpetrator Rob Black has built quite a reputation with this violent porn exercise, but I found it to be utter junk.
I watched because the great Stephanie Swift is in the lead role, before her superstardom at labels like Vivid, Adam & Eve and especially Wicked Pictures afforded her meaty acting roles. But here she is subjected to gonzo mistreatment at Rob's hands.
The pretentious story has surrealistic elements, but is jumbled together with a confusing time-sequence, all designed to impress fans who dote on Psychotronic cinema and anything outlandish. Does it hang together as a nightmare tale of a young damsel in distress? Hardly.
Not just SS but many other talented players spin their wheels, notably Jeanna Fine as a mysterious and glamorous figure, Tiffany Mynx and Dru Berrymore along for the ride and the wonderful French star Liza Harper completely lost in the shuffle. Black's brand of violence won him an outlaw category along with his better half Lizzy Borden, as well as a jail sentence for crossing the line into obscenity.
