Watch for the Asterisk
Devil's Film is essentially at this point depending on people not telling other people things. For example, take the subtitle to It's Okay! She's My Stepdaughter* 13: Just don't tell your mother. Then there's the whole sequence of Don't Tell My Wife films
and the like. The list goes on and on. Oh the funny hijinks they get up to by not telling each other things. I used the asterisk up above, by the way, because Devil's is not taking the step of informing us that the actors portraying these characters are not
in any way related. I'm assuming we all guessed that awhile back, but why do they feel the need to qualify this? It's still just as creepy. If people want creepy, you might as well keep the premise alive as long as possible. Yeah, it's basically families and
a lack of information keeping Devil's going. Also, my DVD player hated this film. It took forever to load. I think I just got a bad burn is all. Or image. Or whatever the correct term is. So what we've got here is a pretty standard Devil's release, with four
scenes, a low price, and more blondes than there are in the general population. The premise gets beaten to death at the start of each scene, and with my player skipping all over the place, I couldn't keep score of how many times a scene involved someone pretending
to talk on a mobile phone. I'll assume at least one. Staci Silverstone is on the cover, and honestly she does the least for me in this film. I think this is because, more often than not, it's her male costar who is performing rather than her. Stuff just happens
to Staci. Several positions weren't shot all that well, either, with some very questionable camera angle choices. Not the best. AJ Applegate put on a great show, though. Those fantastic thighs are on full display throughout, and she's just got the presence
to be a star in this industry. Just look at how many films she's doing at the moment and you'll get a sense of it. Let's hope her career doesn't burn out too soon with all of this work. Dallas is an interesting case. I like pale girls, but I don't like blondes.
I like the stockings look, but I don't like the camera for the reverse cowgirl, which should be the crowning glory of her wearing those. Instead, it's turned into just another angle for a penetration focus, as the camera is on the floor, tilted up, giving
us crotch with a head floating above it. And I know this isn't terribly nice, but there's something in the expression on Dallas that is working against my arousal. I can't quite put my finger on it, but there's something there I don't like. Maybe looking a
bit like Drew Barrymore is it (as I don't much care for her, either). And then there's Charli Shiin. Charli is the stereotypical Devil's Film blonde, where you can tell she's fresh and raw, she kind of over acts a bit, and stuff more happens to her than is
initiated by her. I wonder how long we'll see her. The whole time I just got the impression she got into the industry because she thought she could do it, but the presence isn't there yet to really call her a performer. Forget about bonus features from Devil's.
Forget about them in general, actually, as they're pretty meaningless these days. They were supposed to be a bonus compared to what you got on a VHS release, what with chapter menus and extra footage. Bonus scenes were always cool, and they're a great chance
to market another line for a studio. But they've become a graveyard in the last couple of years, and I don't think it very likely that they'll have a renaissance soon. Overall? Well, if you like the talent in a Devil's flick, you'll probably like the film
as well. There aren't any frills, but they generally get production right. When I complain about camera angles, there are a lot of studios doing far worse with it. Just watch your family and what you tell your partner around them.
