›› Focus / ReFocus: When Porn Kills (retail version)
an erotic medley of hot hunks and steamy sex.
For those yearning for reviews of works of a more sexually explicit nature, then this one is for you. Not that Gay Celluloid is going down the pornographic path, at least not hardcore wise, given these words relate to the abridged retail version of this sexual hit, one that whilst heavily re-edited, still contains its fair share of rampant man-on-man action. Only in being devoid of the full works so-to-speak, the plot takes to the spotlight, even if I use the term loosely.
So cue Cole Streets as Joe Wilder; a sexual compulsive who when not getting it on with his boyfriend Eddie (David Taylor), gets off on filming others in the act itself. Only Eddie is soon to exit stage left, furious with Joe for having posted footage of one of their sex sessions online for all the world to see. Yet what Joe is set to see is far more disturbing, that of an anonymous group sex video, one in which the participants are systematically coming to a violent end. Arrested for the act of murder, Joe must prove his innocence to Detective Callahan, a man who somewhat remarkably manages to - keep his clothes on!
Porn being porn, many may question as to why anyone would want to see an edited outing of hardcore sexual shenanigans. That said, it's kind of refreshing to see a major porn house focusing, no pun intended, on a more character driven edit, even if lines of dialogue serve as mere interludes between acts of penile encounters. That some of the players come off faring better than others in getting their acting credentials out for the boys, before they get down to what they do best, is all but clear.
Only with the two-disc release of this erotic medley of hot hunks and steamy sex complete with a directors’ commentary, a making of featurette and a video diary, it looks like any other DVD. And yet with full frontal male nudity, no raw oral action, but partial ejaculation shots on view, this is a rather odd mix of the genre, being neither softcore, but equally not true hardcore. That the unedited six hour rock hard epic equates to one of Raging Stallions most ambitious projects to date, is all but obvious, as too is the link there for those who are curious to see the trailer for what is missing from the retail version, as sexy as it is. Enough said.
Gay Visibility - overt plus.
Nudity - letting it all hang out.
Overall - file under ... ? I'll let you decide.
