Web of Seduction

In addition to being a sly post-Feminist meditation on the theme of empowerment via self-exploitation and violence, Web of Seduction is a timely liberal commentary on the US's recent/current state of affairs. Several allusions to the `theft' of the 2000 election (e.g. manipulating state statutes to bypass the normal unfolding of legal events; the political philosophy of `by any means necessary'; the anxiety of inherited position) make this biting satire a sure bet for any armchair politicians who like taking a hard look at the GOP along with a little TnA. Director Blain Brown once again pays homage to Hitchcock with his expert handling of the genre convention of voyeurism (more deeply explored in his 1997 debut I'm Watching You), perhaps as an acknowledgment of our own position as spectators rather than participants in the field of American politics. Gifted with an intuitive grasp of mis-en-scene (notice redhead Lauren Hays's deliberately false `tan'), Brown casts an unflinching spotlight on the corruption of the so-called `California lifestyle' where back room conspiracies are the norm, even in the most intimate of relationships everyone is `acting', and above all else, money reigns supreme. In a way, eerily prescient of the 2003 CA gubernatorial election, this film is equally accessible to political neophyte and expert alike.

I had seen Web of Seduction a few times, and it's really not a bad film. Some of the plots were weak but still it was enough to watch an average thriller. Traci Smith is the prettiest of the other two female actors in the film a unhappy wife not getting much attention from her husband that's always hanging out with his clients. She's not very happy of the way things are going so she turns to her neighbor that's going through the same ordeal.At first she seem all right with the idea but she realizes this has certainly gone too far. Near the end she couldn't take much of this anymore and decides she might as well come clean with this before it really starts to drive her up the wall so she calls 911 and that's where you can tell it in her eyes that she was about to admit something.

Probably one of the best soft core sex movies from the 90's. Lauren Hays, Tracy Ryan, and Nancy O'Brien shine through the movie.

Lauren Hays delivers a sexy performance and she demonstrates that she is one of the best soft core actresses. Her body is amazing and her sex scenes are very hot. Those breasts, those legs... Lauren is extremely hot.

My favorite scene involving Lauren is when she is taken from behind in front of a mirror. Then she gets it really hard over the bed. Nice!

Nancy O'Brien has a memorable sex scene in a swimming pool. Her other sex scenes are very hot.

Tracy Ryan also has good sex material.

For those interested in this movie, buy it. It's totally recommended it.

SEX- extremely good , steamy hot scenes. WOMEN- for all tastes. Busty hot women, beautiful, skinny, etc.

This is the kind of movie to watch alone...

"Web of Seduction" holds a special place in my heart, it's a nostalgia trip if you will. In the US, productions like these are usually kept on Cinemax, far away from impressionable children. In Belgium, nobody gave a damn and we just showed this on regular television. Oh boy, did we show it. I've seen this movie so many times I thought it was a test pattern. After careful revision, I feel like it holds up to this day.

The main attraction of this movie is obvious: the intricate plot, which is about two dissatisfied wives who form a pact to kill each other's husband. The plot somewhat resembles "Strangers On A Train", but it makes less sense because the women involved are not actual strangers but rather neighbors and friends. Like, I reckon the police could still figure all this out quite easily. Not everything goes according to plan, giving us the best twist I've ever seen outside of "Days Of Our Lives".

While the film moves at a brisk pace, it is slowed down somewhat by the characters' constant appetite for sexual intercourse. This movie has six characters and though I should have made a chart, I'm pretty sure everyone has sex with everyone. This makes no sense, because some of them are married and still bone somebody besides their spouses. As a devote Christian, I don't condone any of that. To add insult to injury, we also get a threesome, some girl on girl action and (albeit very tame) masturbation. For shame "Web Of Seduction", you don't need smut like that.

The stand-out performer of the movie is without a doubt Lauren Hays, who is actually very believable as the sultry femme fatale and clearly enjoys playing this role. Unfortunately she hasn't done much in the field of erotic thrillers, though curiously she has done half a dozen of movies that appear to be foot porn. As good as she is here, I don't think "Fondle My Feet!" and "Bare Feet A Trois" (both real titles) will show much of her acting chops. Traci Ryan is very cute as the naive wive who turns to murder surprisingly quickly, but Nancy O'Brien appears to think she's acting in a "Scooby Doo" climax. And if it wasn't for you meddling kids!

An above-average soft core film which stars attractive actors and actresses who spend most of the time having sex with each other, much of the time they actually do seem to enjoy what they are doing. If you are looking for a good soft core film, this is recommended. If you're looking for Shakespeare, pass on this one.
