Sin Sisters

Not a lot of sin, but we do get sisters in this better than usual Seduction Cinema lesbian softcore flick starring Misty Mundae and her far less attractive real life sister Chelsea. But if you're thinking you're going to get some incestuous sister sex then you're going to be disappointed instead it's mostly just the usual masturbating and nipple rubbing that most of these contain. It does try to get all weird and go psychological thriller in the second half when the duo run into Julian Wells and some goofy sex games ensue which doesn't really work and kind of slows things down to a slog, but still a little different compared to most of these.

I saw the nymphet Misty Mundae for the first time in the best episode of the patchy Masters of Horror series; Lucky McKee's "Sick Girl", and have been hoping to catch one of her soft porn flicks for a while since. Sin Sisters, therefore, is my first Misty Mundae porno, and while it's difficult to be over-impressed with a film as lacking as this one, Sin Sisters succeeds both as a porn flick and (almost) as a thriller, so I can't be too hard on it. It's obvious that the behinds the scenes crew at Seduction Cinema aren't exactly cinema geniuses, as numerous sequences in this film go on far too long; and despite the fact that the three female leads spend most of the film without much on; the overall result isn't very erotic, and this is only slightly better than what your average Joe with a video camera could do...but I suppose it would be silly to expect anything else. The plot focuses on two sisters; Cynthia and Morgana (played by real life sisters Misty and Chelsea Mundae), who accidentally murder someone at their college and end up packing the body into the boot of their car. However, while on the way to dump it; they come across a playful Julian Wells...

'Cheap and nasty' is a phrase I would use to describe Sin Sisters' cinematography as it's extremely bland and looks like it cost the studio but a few pennies. Director Tony Marsiglia relies heavily on his lead star and doesn't seem to care too much about the rest of the film. It's not hard to see why Misty Mundae is so popular either, as despite not being your average porn star and looking about fourteen; there's something captivating about her, and the paradox between her innocent looks and filthy actions gives her a style of her own. Chelsea Mundae, unfortunately, hasn't quite got her sister's charm; but the film is given an extra dimension courtesy of the experienced Julian Wells, who is chalk to Mundae's cheese. The scenes between the three leads aren't as good as they could be, and sequences that see the younger girls recite every possible name for various body parts is an unwelcome intrusion. The music used helps to enforce the cheap porno atmosphere, and while this movie would have benefited from better production values, a competent director and more variety; if you're after some soft porn, this may well do the trick...

WOW. was I ever surprised with this film. OK, I admit, i am a huge fan of Alternative Cinema, and all of their different branches (Seduction Cinema, Retro-Seduction Cinema, After Hours Cinema, Shock-O-Rama, Video Outlaw, W.A.V.E., etc...), but this was by far the best Seduction Cinema film I've ever seen. Most of their films are just raunchy borderline XXX lesbian pornos that parody mega-budget blockbusters, but not this one. If you can get past the first two ultra explicit um..."finger" scenes, this turns into a pretty twisted, ultra darkly sensual movie. Definately the best role I have seen Julian Wells play. Also, Chelsea Mundae actually upstages her real life sister Misty in the acting category. Granted, you don't want your Grandmother to get ahold of these movies...("whatcha got there, sonny-boy?"), but for what it is, its a great flick.

Sub-par as a sex flick, sub-par as a psycho-thriller, this Misty Mundae vehicle may please fans but it's not going to create many fans. The story follows two sisters who want another troublesome girl out of the way, but who find themselves stumbling into the lair of a lesbian even more psycho than they are. She forces them to compete in some little games at gun point if they ever want to get out alive.

Misty and Chelsea Mundae demonstrate their C-list eroticism and D-list acting skills. Robert Rowell's directorial style consists primarily of jamming a camera as close to his subject as possible, even outdoors. The music is a relentlessly repetitive pounding that doesn't distinguish between a girl masturbating in a shower and someone being murdered.

The story piles on the twists until the early scenes make no sense. The sex scenes are uninspired, unerotic, and sometimes impossible, altho Misty saves a few by being delicious in a short skirt. Julian Wells does all right as the psycho lesbian, but the role doesn't ask much of her and Misty ruins most of her intense scenes by being annoying and sarcastic.

I've certainly seen worse, but if this is one of the best Misty Mundae films, I'm not going to hurry to find another.

Misty Mundae teams up with her real life sister, Chelsea, in this noirish softcore film. Misty plays Cynthia, a slutty schoolgirl, who accidentally kills her rival, Beth, after she finds Cyn pleasuring herself in the school shower (yea, i know how it sounds, but you just have to go with it). While driving to get rid of the body Cyn and her sis run into Juli, a girl who likes to play mind-games. Those who know Seduction Cinema by their softcore movie parodies, (ie. Lord of the G-strings, Spiderbabe, etc...) will be pleasantly surprised that this is a fairly competent original thriller. Twists and turns abound.
