Doris (Darian Caine) is bored, bored with her daily routine as a
housewife, bored with her husband Robert (Zachary Winston Snygg = John
Bacchus), and bored with life in general. So she fantasizes about a woman
(Tammy Parks) who makes her her sex slave ... only the woman soon turns
out to be not a fantasy but a ghost, and she and two devils (Jade Duboir,
Victoria Vega) force her to more and more kinky lesbian acts, to which
Doris by and by gives in willingly, until she seems to have totally
crossed over into her otherworldly visitors' world of eroticism ... and
when a door-to-door cosmetics saleswoman knocks on her door, Doris opens
in the nude and seduces the saleswoman in no time. Meanwhile, husband
Robert's life is not much more exciting than that of his wife (before she
was visited by the ghost that is), his job is dull, he doesn't even
exactly know what he's doing, his colleagues are assholes, and the new
guy, Bob (John P.Fedele) tries to steal his job - and it seems he
succeeds as well. Eventually, Robert gets so fed up with everything that
he pulls out a gun and shoots Bob ... upon which his boss (Bennigan
Feeney) calls him into his office - to demote him to cleaning personnel. Robert
comes home from work totally worn out, only to find his wife having sex
with the cosmetics saleswoman on the kitchen table - and suddenly he feels
closer to his dead colleague Bob than anyone else, turning on the TV just
like a zombie.
Much more serious than his previous films (which
were all essentially parody movies), John Bacchus has turned The Erotic
Ghost into a character study in parts reminiscent of Rainer Werner
Fassbinder's 1970 film Warum läuft Herr R. Amok?/Why does Herr
R. Run Amok?, but also with satyrical and surreal touches - and of
course lesbian sex. But The Erotic Ghost is not so much carried by
the sex scenes - though there are plenty of - but by its story and by fine
performances especially from Darian Caine (who for once proves she can
handle serious roles), Bacchus himself and John P.Fedele (though his death
scene is a bit too wacky to sit well witht he rest of the film. One of
Bacchus best films and definitely worth a look.
