Lilith Likes to Watch - Halloween Trick & Treat Special! Finale!

Image
Title:  The Devil Inside Her Year:  1977 Starring:  Jody Maxwell, Terri Hall, Dean Tait, Zebedy Colt, Rod DuMont Director:  Zebedy Colt Synopsis:   A woman sells her soul to the devil to obtain the man she loves. - Via IMDB Lilith's Notes:  Well known in grindhouse and horror circles. Watch it now: XHamster Sometimes I fear I expect too much out of porn. I hold all my entertainment to a certain standard. If it's in film, that standard is believable acting, and a good plot. Even in porn. Porn has the extra burden of requiring enjoyable, erotic sex scenes as well. It makes me feel like a weirdo. But then, a porno like The Devil Inside Her will come along and assures me that it's okay to expect, nay, demand these things from porno. The Devil Inside Her involves two sisters, Faith and Hope in the mid- 1800s who love the same man. Their father is extremely puritan and forbids their daughters from loving anyone and punishes Faith by whipping her ...

Lilith Likes to Watch - Halloween Trick & Treat Special! Part 4

Title:  Necromania: A Tale of Weird Love Year:  1971 Starring:  Maria Arnold, Rene Bond, Ric Lutze Director:  Ed Wood Synopsis:  A couple having marital problems (the husband can't seem to rise to the occasion) visits Madame Heles, a necromancer, in hopes of ameliorating their boudoir blunders. - Via IMDB Lilith's Notes:  It was directed by Ed Wood. Yes, that Ed Wood. When I saw that this was directed by Ed Wood Jr. I thought that was a pseudonym. Like the porn actress Tyra Banxxx, or the oh-so-clever named porn parodies like Game of Bones . Sort of "You know that director Ed Wood? Well, I'm gonna be Ed Wood JUNIOR!". I had no idea that was his real full name. I don't have any love for Ed Wood, I don't think I've ever sat through Plan 9 From Outer Space . I don't find bad movies fun or funny unless I'm with a group of friends and armed with alcohol. I've never seen any of his other films and so I'm not familiar with the tra...

Lilith Likes to Watch - Halloween Trick & Treat Special! Part 3

Title:  Wet Wilderness Year:  1976 Starring:  Daymon Gerard, Alice Hammer, Raymond North, Faye Little Director:  Lee Cooper Synopsis:  A machete killer attacks a picnic party but can the mother stop his rampage? - Via IMDB Lilith's Notes:  It's purely here for Halloween viewing. Wet Wilderness  is one huge waste of time. I love me a good rapist-murderer sleezefest but this was rife with horrible dubbing, pointless characters, terrible shifts from scenes to scenes and really, really atrocious acting. Look, you're being held at machete-point by a killer wearing a knock-off, bargain bin Deadpool mask. You can at least pretend to be a little bit scared. The only time anyone is scared, it's the mother, as she's raped in front of her (I assume are supposed to be) teenage children who are fucking one another. Good job at staying in character. Then, the son and mother are forced to fuck and they really, genuinely seem to be enjoying themselv...

Lilith Likes to Watch - Halloween Trick & Treat Special! Part 2

Image
Title:  Through the Looking Glass Year:  1976 Starring:  Catherine Burgess, Jamee Gillis, Laura Nicholson Director:  Jonas Middleton Synopsis:  A rich socialite escapes her boring lifestyle when a ghost takes her to a sexual hell where anything goes. - Via IMDB Lilith's Notes:  Three different versions were shot. It also has a novelization. I started Halloween Trick & Treat by watching this movie first but I wanted to break up the list by film quality so I saved this one for second review. Also I managed to eke out 5 movies in all. This will be a 5 part series. Enjoy part 2. When I was a child, I used to watch a lot of nature shows. One time, I was watching one such nature show about the human body. The screen was all closed in and pink. A pleasant female voice announced "We are now travelling up the man's penis." While watching the movie, that quote flashed through my mind. Through the Looking Glass  starts off rather slow and kind...

Lilith Likes To Watch - Halloween Trick & Treat Special! Part 1

Title:  Porno Holocaust Year:  1981 Starring:  Annj Goren, Dirce Funari, Mark Shannon, George Eastman Director:  Joe D'Amato Synopsis:  A group of scientists are taken to a secluded island where nuclear weapons testing occurred in 1958, in order to investigate sightings of mutated animals, and allegations of a monster. On the island, overgrown crabs are discovered, and the researchers and their ship's crew are stalked and spied on by an unseen being. - Via Wikipedia Lilith's Notes:  It was one of the first hardcore pornos shown in Italian theatres. Halloween is upon us so I decided to do something a little different. I watched two vaguely horror themed porno flicks, one was good, and one was bad. I'm going to review them both and post part 1 tonight and part 2 tomorrow. So, let's get the Trick out of the way. When I engage in a piece of entertainment, I try to make sure it's worth my time. I hate being bored. I'd much rather be angry, amused or...

Lilith Likes to Watch - Alice In Wonderland: An X-Rated Musical Fantasy

Image
Title:  Alice In Wonderland: An X-Rated Musical Fantasy Year:  1976 Starring:  Kristine DeBell, Alan Novak Director:  Bud Townsend Synopsis:  Alice is a good girl who isn't sure she wants to go all the way with her boyfriend. But when she follows a white rabbit into wonderland, she discovered just how fun being naughty can be. Lilith's Notes:  It's a musical porn version of Alice in Wonderland. This review is going to be brief. I don't have much to say about this film. For a musical, the songs are forgettable. For an Alice in Wonderland adaptation, the visuals are remarkably uninspired and the costumes are cheap or non-existent. The Cheshire cat doesn't exist, instead the production had two mouse costumes lying around so they decided just to have a couple people wear those and lick Alice all over. The Mad Hatter sort of looked like Roger Daltrey from Tommy , so that was interesting, if not distracting. The erotic bits were fine, though the...

Lilith Likes to Watch - The Image (AKA The Punishment of Anne)

Image
Title: The Image (AKA The Punishment of Anne AKA The Mistress and the Slave) Year: 1975 Starring: Rebecca Brooke, Carl Parker, Marilyn Roberts Director: Radley Metzger Synopsis: The story of middle-aged Jean, a writer, who meets an old friend, Claire, a lesbian and also middle-aged, and is soon drawn into her world of sadomasochism, in which they torture Claire's youthful slave, Anne. (via Wikipedia) Lilith's Notes: It's considered a staple of "Porno Chic". A few years ago when Fifty Shades of Grey  hit the scene, there was concern that it was espousing an unhealthy idea of BDSM, that it encouraged people to enter the fetish scene without fully comprehending the rules of the lifestyle. Even the author of the series has out and out admitted that she just found it hot, with no deeper meaning of the lifestyle. 36 years before  Fifty Shades was published, The Image  hit the scene, and completely ignored all the Safe, Sane and Consensual rule...

Lilith Likes to Watch - In The Realm of the Senses

Image
Title: In the Realm of The Senses AKA Ai no korîda Year: 1976 Starring: Tatsuya Fuji, Eiko Matsuda Director: Nagisa Ôshima Synopsis: A passionate telling of the story of Sada Abe, a woman whose affair with her master led to a sexual obsession which then came to a violent end. (via IMDB) Lilith's Notes: It contains scenes of unsimulated sex on screen. In the Realm of the Senses was added to the watch list because of 2 things - It had unsimulated sex acts on screen, and it had a Criterion Collection release, which meant it was classy . This movie was inspired by the true tale of Japanese folk hero, Sada Abe, a Japanese woman who killed her lover. Though this movie focuses on the relationship between Sada and said lover. It was...fine. It wasn't particularly pretty, for being a French-Japanese co-production. You had all the visuals of Japan, flowing silk, embroidery, the music, the makeup, and it was just sort of there. The inherent beauty in it wasn't rom...
