Hello all my beloved pornassures! This week we bring you something a little different. Come September, Lilith Likes to Watch will have been around for seven years. That means the traditional anniversary gifts are cotton or wool, or, for our modern world, desk sets. The thematic gemstone is onyx. This year we’re taking a little hiatus to plan something unique. You see, Kage and I have been watching the BLUSH San Francisco Porn Film Festival entries. Not all of them, but many. So many. And all September we’re going to be batch reviewing them. Some with fully fleshed out reviews, and some with just a sentence or two. If you’d like to see what the BLUSH San Francisco Porn Film Festival has to offer, you can still buy tickets now, and stream the offerings from the comfort and privacy and snacks of your own home. The Stream is up until August 31st, so go ahead and Blush. See you next month!

Title: I Spit On Your Grave Year: 1978 Starring: Camille Keaton, Anthony Nichols Director:  Meir Zarchi Synopsis:  A young, beautiful career woman rents a backwoods cabin to write her first novel. Attacked by a group of local lowlifes and left for dead, she devises a horrific plan to inflict revenge. - Via Letterboxd.com Lilith's Notes: Near as I can tell, the marketing for this film is the origin of the phrase "No Jury would convict..." Buy: Amazon   "You want her total submission, you got it." Before Lilith Likes to Watch was an actual endeavor, I would sit down and force myself to endure relatively edgy films. You know, films that were banned, or low-brow, or just straight up porn. Films high society scoffed at, films that were infamous for all the wrong reasons. Films that one doesn’t mention in polite society. Don’t let your imagination run too wild. I knew my limits and I never dove into anything too terrible. I still have no interest in watching Mart...

Title: Videodrome Year:  1983 Starring: James Woods, Deborah Harry Director: David Cronenberg Synopsis:   As the president of a trashy TV channel, Max Renn is desperate for new programming to attract viewers. When he happens upon “Videodrome,” a TV show dedicated to gratuitous torture and punishment, Max sees a potential hit and broadcasts the show on his channel. However, after his girlfriend auditions for the show and never returns, Max investigates the truth behind Videodrome and discovers that the graphic violence may not be as fake as he thought. - Via Letterboxd.com Lilith's Notes: You know the Cronenbergs from Rick & Morty ? This is what they're talking about. Buy: Amazon   "I was made for that show." Some films are just on the verge of suitable for Lilith Likes to Watch. Sometimes there’s not enough meat, or the film is too into it’s own politics, or I’m just bored and have nothing to say. Videodrome rides the line where I can question if it’s right f...

Title: Lucky Bastard Year:  2014 Starring: Betsy Rue, Jay Paulson, Don McManus Director: Robert Nathan Synopsis:  Lucky Bastard is a “found footage” thriller about a porn website run by Mike that invites fans to have sex with porn stars. Dave is an eager young fan given a chance to have sex with the fabulous Ashley Saint. But everyone gets more than they bargained for in the seemingly mild-mannered Dave… with gruesome results. The film is captured by the “Lucky Bastard” porn cameras for a fresh take on the “found footage” genre. - via Letterboxd.com Lilith's Notes: Found footage. You don't see that on this blog too often, now do you? Buy: Amazon "Shoot everything, never stop shooting" Anticipation is a powerful aphrodisiac. I was first exposed to this film via its trailer by Kage, and had been waiting until Halloween to watch it just so it could have a spot in this year’s Trick & Treat. Then came the main event. Was all the build up worth it? Was I satisfied? ...

Welcome back to Lilith Likes to Watch Trick & Treat! It's the most wonderful time of the year! Last year, it was our final hurrah before the dreaded hiatus, but we're BACK, BABY. And this year we have some interesting, out of the box tricks and treats for you. Title: Jane Doe Year: 2024 Starring: Tommy Pistol, Ashley Lane Director: Ricky Greenwood Synopsis:  A lonely, depressed morgue employee dutifully prepares the body of a young woman -- a Jane Doe  -- and becomes inexplicably infatuated with her. He starts losing touch with reality, hearing Jane Doe's sweet, disembodied voice as she tries to connect with him. Over time, Gabriel has vivid fantasies of her being alive and well... and desiring only HIM, which leads to the ultimate fantasy of having an intimate encounter with her at his own home. - Via PureTaboo Lilith's Notes: Welcome to Trick & Treats! Buy: PureTaboo "Why'd you leave me down there, Gabriel? I'm so cold and lonely." Gabri...

Title: Drive Year: 2019 Starring: Angela White, Maitland Ward, Manuel Ferrara Director: Kayden Kross Synopsis:  Angela displays perfect execution in all aspects of her life until a chance encounter with a stranger makes her to face off against her own sexuality. What follows is an unraveling that pulls her out of the order of home and work and strings her along through a pulsing underground world of illicit gratification. The only thing stronger than the will of a woman who thrives on control is the part of her that breaks through once she loses it. - Via Letterboxd.com Lilith's Notes: Read the original review here . Buy: Adult Empire "Nothing is innocent and nothing is harmless." If I had known better back then, I would have realized that this movie planted seeds with me. Horrible, horrible seeds. I’m still pissed that this movie lost best art direction to Captain Marvel XXX . In 2020, my little gremlin Kage, and I were feeling ambitious. We wanted to watch and revie...
