Freddi (Wade Radford) feels alone most of the time, very alone, really,
to a point where he thinks cutting himself is a good idea (which also
might have to do with his childhood and upbringing though) - so one day,
he invites a hooker, Lustful (Kaz B.), to his home ... and is totally
unable to handle the situation at first, beating her about and shit. But
for some reason, she stays, and even though she insists she's not a
psychiatrist and has just come for a fuck, she manages to get him to open
up to her - but when he talks about his self-harming episodes, that
painfully reminds her of her own mother ... and gives her an idea - that
goes (literally) under his skin ... Lustful Desires,
despite its obvious title, is anything but cheap porn (actually, there's
very little actual nudity in it and the one sex scene the plot is leading
up to is left out), rather a piece of dark erotic psychodrama that
ultimately leads to a very dark place. And it's all brought to life by
clever writing, a directorial effort that does not just go for the obvious
(naked flesh), and a couple of performers that play off one another really
well. Still, very probably not everyone's cup of tea, but if you're up for
a journey into two twisted minds, this one's definitely for you.
