Paulina (Natasha Nice) is a successful children's book novelist ... who
for whatever reason wants to try her hands on horror for a change - and
somehow (not through sexual intercourse) she manages to persuade her
publisher Don (Jack Lawrence) to let her. However, writing a horror
novel demands more than just the intention to do so, so she calls Wes
Mueller (Richie), her favourite horror novelist, for advice, and the two
of them seem to strike a chord over the phone almost immediately. Paulina's
uptight sister (Kimberly Kane) and brother-in-law (Rocco Reed) however are
against Paulina's plans to write a horror novel sight unseen, mainly
because it won't support her lifestyle as well as children's books would.
And when they hear she is conferring with Wes Mueller, they don't rest
until they find a newspaper article claiming he had once been in the
loonie bin. This really persuades Paulina that he is a sociopath, just
like her sister always said, and she evades all his phonecalls and the
like. Whether she likes it or not, it seems her sister was right. She even
wants to cancel her horror novel plans altogether, but now her publisher,
who really believes in her, won't let her out of her commitment. Eventually,
Wes shows up at Paulina's doorstep ... just to see if she's alright and
stuff, and once they talk everything over, it turns out that Wes was in
the loonie bin only for research purposes. Paulina decides the best way to
get back at her uptight sister is to bring Wes as a date to one of her
sister's dinners - where he plays the psycho so convincingly he really
freaks Paulina's sister and brother-in-law out but good. Paulina and Wes
have sex for the first time right after that, and become a couple soon
afterwards, and the novel Paulina ultimately comes up with is not a horror
but a romance novel about a children's book writer falling for a horror
novelist. And the psycho of the film is - Paulina's publisher ...
As far as plot-driven porn flicks go, this one is pretty good actually:
There is an actual story here, the sex scenes are carefully placed so to
not interrupt the narrative flow, they all seem to be properly motivated
(except for the first one, but that one's supposed to be an excerpt from a
pulp novel to begin with). Also, the film finds a nice balance between
humour and drama and even features a few suspense scenes. And the
sex-scenes are elegant without being overly slick, and the performers seem
to be into them. Apart from that, all of the performers also show at least
some acting talent, and they do look their roles.
But having said all that, this is not the perfect plot-driven porn, it
is quite simply too weak in basic plot to actually excite, too predictable
to surprise, and too harmless to suck the audience into the story.
Still, pretty ok a porn movie, but nothing more.
