This film essentially begins with a woman by the name of "Kaitlin Blair" (Delia Sheppard) having problems with her husband "Jeffrey Blair" (Jeff Conaway) due to the long hours he puts in as a campaign manager for a California gubernatorial candidate named "Carter Sayles" (Richard Arbolino). Then, one night, she gets a frantic phone call from her twin sister "Shauna Jameson" (also played by Delia Sheppard) telling her she needs money right away in order to get out of town fast. Quickly wiring the money to her, Kaitlin then decides to go to Shauna's apartment to try to talk to her before she leaves. When she gets there, however, she realizes that she is too late and, being quite bored with her own lifestyle, decides to don Shauna's clothing and impersonate her for a night or two. What she doesn't count on, however, is that there is a dangerous rapist who is stalking Shauna-and he has plans to visit her very soon. Now, rather than reveal any more, I will just say that this certainly had potential but the actors weren't given the script necessary for them to succeed. Not only was it badly written but the minimal plot and annoying saxophone music played every other scene didn't help matters either. Admittedly, there were several attractive actresses like Julia Strain (as "Gina Kaye"), Lee Anne Beaman ("Rebecca") and the aforementioned Delia Sheppard to keep things interesting but it just wasn't enough for me to rate this movie any higher than I have. Below average.

'Mirror Images' was one of the first T&A flicks I picked up off a video store shelf as a young man. It's not hard to see why. The movie box told you what you were in store for and they weren't lying I'll give them that. However this didn't deliver like I wanted it to.

A tepid story of a bored, rich housewife fulfilling sexual fantasies at the dark end of the street care of her runaway stripper twin sister doesn't go anywhere exciting or noteworthy. It's b-movie 101. Typical story aside, the sex didn't make any impact and that's saying something.

Delia Sheppard as the dual roles provides skin as does total babe and genre mainstay Julie Strain, but this isn't explosive stuff. You can catch John O'Hurley (Yes, I'm J. Peterman) in an early role as the main police detective. While adult hardcore director Gregory Dark filmed this under a pseudonym which was fashionable back in the day.

Bottom line. You're not here for the story. You're here for the nude bits, but there's much better found elsewhere. A standalone sequel followed a year later featuring Shannon Whirry and another take on the twin sis formula which was much better where it counts.

Jeff Conaway is a long way from his TAXI and GREASE days but he is the best thing about this slow-moving erotic thriller which features pretty decent sex scenes. Hippolyte was on a role in the early 1990s with his chain of erotic thrillers featuring more dialogue scenes and non-penetration sex scenes to disguise the pornographic tones that he would normally suggest as Gregory Dark. Nonetheless, this one is probably the best of his series. And don't forget to watch Dick Van Patten's son, Nels, embarass his father by repeatedly ordering Delia Shepperd to "Say my name! Say my name!!" 4/10

'Mirror Images' - A fun early 90's erotic thriller with slasher elements in this hazy dreamlike world of switched identities and seductive pleasures laced with political intrigue and murder and what could be more enjoyable than that. The movie is a rather entertaining and sleazy whodunit that features a fun cast, cheesy dialogue and plenty of deaths mixed with some classic T&A from the likes of Delia Sheppard and Julie Strain.

The Plot = Kaitlin Blair (Delia Sheppard), a bored and sexually frustrated woman adopts her twin sister Shauna's (also played by Delia Sheppard) identity when she goes out of town, but Kaitlin soon finds herself involved in a murder case.

Okay it would be a stretch to class this flick within the horror genre as it's more of a 90's sex thriller, but it does feature some light slasher elements within' its storyline and while it isn't the most original or exciting thriller out there, but the plot despite it's unoriginality is interesting enough to keep you invested and the erotic scenes are well crafted, even if the serial killer subplot and slasher elements isn't all that engaging and everything leads to a predictable and convoluted climax.

Delia Sheppard gives a convincing performance in the dual roles of the twins and proved to be good at playing both the naïve and innocent Kaitlin as well as the sexy and seductive Shauna. The rest of the cast were entertaining as well with John O'Hurley as the detective and fellow penthouse model Julie Strain as Gina and the real standout in terms of acting is Jeff Conaway as the sleazy and slimy husband.

Overall 'Mirror Images' is an entertaining and sleazy erotic thriller that features a lot of sex, some bad acting and an absurd plot that was fun if a little too ambitious to fully succeed.

This is one of those thriller type films that I only wanted to see for the chance of some good nudity or sex scenes. I remember there are a couple of good moments, no lesbians or anything, but some very good nudity content. Obviously I pay no attention to the story that is meant to be going on in this film and I don't know any of the actors or actresses. But I still become attracted to the woman in this film with her gorgeous body, that I unfortunately can't remember. Maybe if I saw this again I would remember just how much I probably liked this film. But for now, I'll just say that it probably is a very good film filled with some good nude and sex sequences. Good!
