Christopher Shearer (Daniel Cano), a unsuccessful writer has decided to
turn documentary filmmaker, and chosen the production company Quad X as
the topic of his first movie - Quad X being of course a porn company. The
company is home to all sorts of unique people, like company owner and main
star Ginger Snap (Terissa Kelton), who also tries to be a good mother and
tries to have a relationship with her neighbour (Ryan McKenna), who has no
idea what she's doing, like the Russian director (Will McKenna), who falls
in love with one of his actresses (Elena Weinberg) and now only uses her
in solo scenes, like that actress's sister (Elena Weinberg again), who has
gotten pregnant again and has no idea from whom, like the production
assistant (Derek Babb) who has problems coming out as gay even though
everybody on set has long guessed, like the school teacher (Vanessa Vayle
Perry) who has initially invited Ginger to reprimand her about her
lifestyle but has ultimately decided to go into porn as well, like Beaver
Slayer (Colby Wallingsford), the porn star with a really big penis who
passes out whenever he gets an erection because of the bloodloss in his
brain, like the desperate aging porn actor (Marc Wasserman), who'd
literally do anything to stay in the business, like the suicidal DP
(Duncan Coe), whose existence nobody even acknowledges, and of course the
trio of writers who only work at a porn company ... because they aren't
really that good writers. And then there's of course Cherrie Pie (Ariane
Powell), an ex-pornstar "saved" by Jerry the Christian (Mike
Williams) - and while she now tries to "save" her former
colleagues (or shut down their business), she also has massive problems
keeping her clothes on in front of a camera ... Quad X: Rise
of the Beaver Slayer is above all else great fun, a mockumentary that
gets it right, populating it's film with colourful characters rather than
cheap jokes, avoids toilet humour despite the movie's obviously sleazy
subject matter - heck, it even avoids on-screen nudity, in the most
hilarious way -, outbalances crude jokes with well-executed situation
comedy, and social satire even, manages to bring every subplot to an
entertaining close (even if a sequel, Quad
X: The Porn Movie Massacre, was shot back to back with this one),
and above all, remain entertaining throughout! Great fun, really!
