Synopsis

Steven is Diablo, a vampire(?) who lost his true love eons ago. Happily, his true love is a dead ringer for Christy Canyon who happens to pop by the mansion for a party. This makes Diablo happy. Or something like that.
Scene Breakdown
Nici Sterling/Steven St. Croix

She creeps out of a hole in the bed after he awakens from a nightmare. Music is classical and soft. He uses a rubber which is odd, since AVN reports that Nici is allergic to condoms and doesn't use them. There's very little foreplay before she impales herself on his dick. They go to mish, she looks off camera for a little while, he pulls off the rubber and blows his wad on her belly. She rubs it in and he licks her spunk covered torso.

Jill Kelly/Richie Razor

So they fuck for Diablo's amusement, but he won't join in since his heart yearns for another. Whatever, they'll fuck without him... Jill blows Richie very well -- look ma, no hands! -- and lots of eye contact. He's hung like a pimple, but has some good vaginal penetration shots. She gets to screaming a little bit. He blows his load on her belly.

Christy Canyon/Jill Kelly

So after some confusing dialog with Patricia Kennedy, Christy gets into Diablo's house and gets the tour by Jill. Of course, they stop along the way for some lady lovin' This scene is so horribly botched, I wanted to put my foot through the TV set. Brad fucks everything up by constantly dollying through curtains. The foreplay looked good, but you only saw 10% of the kissing and breast play because the fucking curtains were in the way.

Plus, there was alight that kept flaring into the lens. Usually Ralph Parfait is better than this... When the curtain panning finally stops, the best is over, and the rest is only a minute or so. HORRIBLE! Brad should be forced to watch this scene over and over and over again until he sees the error of his ways.

Everyone in the cast except Nici, Christy and Steve
The party guests have an orgy. Horribly shot. Brad was in this scene, so I guess he thinks these things will direct themselves. Slow classical music fills the air which is perhaps the worst musical selection for an orgy. A scherzo perhaps, or a lively two step, but andante? Please. Basically all cumshots were tits and ass.

Christy Canyon/Steven St. Croix

The moment we've been waiting for! Christy gets fucked! St. Croix knows what he's doing. There's a reason he's worth a million bucks to Vivid. He BURYS himself in her twat eating his way out; even getting his tongue around her most private of backdoors, prompting a reaction I couldn't quite make out. The shag is decent going from standing doggie to mish where he shoots on her belly and tits. One shot that looks like its going to the face is superbly dodged.

Conclusion

If there were penalties for wastes of resources, Mr. Dyanna Lauren would be doing some hard time. Christy's g/g is totally botched by bad blocking, and it had mucho potential. The story was impossible to follow (some was in French -- with subtitles!) and any sort of mood that he was trying to evoke was lost. Having mod rockers miming with violins looks ridiculous. Does anyone know when this was set? The outdoor scenes have obvious traffic noise, but the costumes are either 1990s or 1790s, it's hard to tell. The only redeeming camera setup was in the beginning when St. Croix is cradling Christy's nude body a la Michelangelo's Pieta. That looked nice. It gave me high hopes that could go nowhere but down.

Rating

On the Imperial scale, rent only if you are a major fan of Christy's and need to be a completest. I can't think of too much that was really redeeming. I give it a 1.95
