Review of Up All Night

Up All Night (1986 Video)
Idiotic sci-fi
21 October 2022
Richard Mailer is a significant porn director, but he's guilty of directing this awful attempt at sci-fi porn. It takes a stupid gimmick and repeats it over and over for an hour and a half.

First person-camera rrepresents an alien taking over an office building elevator and with a crummy smoke effect it causes the people getting on the elevator to get horny, as horny as the alien itself. This aphrodisiac effect is used for scene after scene.

The sex is mechanical and even leading actress Stacey Donovan looks terrible in this assignment as a highly unlikely elevator inspector (who wears overalls with nothing underneath).

The alien speaking in voice-over with a dirty mind commenting on the hapless humans, plus having the humans' thoughts heard by the viewer, revealing their nasty, condescending personalities is a forerunner of MST3K's approach a couple of years before that TV show was invented. But here it is applied by the filmmaker against and within his own shoddy work! That cuts out the middle man.
