Penthouse: Harlots of Hell

I give Penthouse credit for trying to make their videos stand out. Doing things differently from Playboy. Not copying a formula or being overly predictable. All of their experiments weren't successful in my opinion, but the effort was there. 'Harlots of Hell' is one of those attempts.

The simple story - meant to only get us from scene to scene - follows a guy driving who ends up crashing his car at night after seeing a scary sight. He ends up at a gothic mansion featuring these mystical Pets allowing for the standard solo, girl/girl segments. Many pleasing sights.

"A Sweet Spirit" is intertwined in the driving intro. Aimee Sweet is on a radio station giving an interview which leads to her solo strip. If you're a fan of Aimee you'll like this (3 mins). After the crash, he makes his way inside grabbing a phone trying to get help. "Naughty Nurse" is Julia Garvey on the other end of the line. Unfortunately all she wants to talk about is her sexy nurse outfit, her body and having sex. I'll be honest. I had to restrain myself from laughing too much initially during the 'dirty' talk. It goes on for most of the scene. Julia looks good though and nice prolonged explicit shot where she spreads (7.5 mins).

"Fallen Angel" has Tera Patrick looking pretty devilish. Angel wings and black latex shorts. Really hot getting naked but never loses the wings striking a bunch of poses (7.5 mins). "A Wet Dream" finds Juliet Cariaga providing a spread (4 mins). "Sinful Nuns" has two (Juliet, Aimee) play with each other as the guy sits in a chapel. Their butts get a bunch of focus (7.5 mins). "Heaven-Sent?" is another angel themed strip with Meil Angel. No pun intended. There's some nice close-ups (3.5 mins).

"Leather & Lace" is a connected scene where the guy now finds himself tied to a bed. Miel behind him while Juliet and Aimee get naughty with each other (5 mins). "Flashbacks" sees the guy trying to escape. Tera & Julia appear getting frisky together by the door blocking his way. Tera's tanned beautiful body gets the lion share of the camera's attention (3.5 mins). Then previous scenes are shown with new footage (2 mins).

I was expecting something else from 'Harlots of Hell'. Something stupid or silly. I liked the selection of ladies featured and the video consistently delivered. My biggest surprise was how much I liked Tera Patrick here. Her appearances were great as are a lot of the females visuals offered.

As Canada Dry which tastes like beer but isn't, Reader Digest which look likes a book but isn't, this movie has all the stuff from a Ninn movie but without being too cold or dark. So, it's Gothic, an old mansion, a religious undertone, demons, blood. If the beginning is really dull with flat strips, the scenes get better and better as it has some good lesbian scenes with an amazing reunion of pets : Tera, Juliet, Aimee, Julia Garvey ! This Guccione Jr was indeed a lucky guy to direct such vision with so much babes and technically, i rather likes his vision : not crazy about stupid close-ups but a languishing camera that puts the light around our pets faces !
