Stormswept

This could have been a good erotic thriller. What sexual goings-on that are present at least exude a degree of passion. And the women are all yummy. The idea of a mansion haunted by a spirit that unleashes sexual and then homicidal tendencies is a good premise, it just didn't make it to the end. The only thing I can figure is that about 3/4 thru the shoot, somebody made a deal with Kinmont to grace the video cover, get top billing, and spend about 10 minutes of screentime doing and saying nothing. Trying to fit her character into the script resulted in the scrambled mess Stormswept became. The 'flashback' sequence is so hacked up it is practically non-existent. Which is all too bad, considering it was pretty well shot, and the actors are fairly convincing, especially in light of what they're asked to do. Worth at least one watch for voyuers.

This movie would have to get better to be bad. Do not be fooled by the plot summary on back of the box. It is a poorly shot badly acted story about people you do not care about. It is not so bad as to be campy fun. Just say no.

This seems to have been an attempt to make a mainstream "psychological" horror film with a bunch of great looking actors that can't act very well, despite a long list of "B" movie credits on many of the cast's parts. This meant mostly a lot of dead air until the extremely brief nudity and violence scenes.

My guess is that they paid so much for the cast that they could not afford a director, although it is very well photographed.

Formula: "B" movie - nudity - violence - acting = very long boring trailer.

This is categorized as horror - but it is closer to the erotic category. But even for that it may not qualify entirely. Well for most that is - because there is quite the sexual charge and power in there. It can not be denied - on the other hand, having "forces" from the outside as an excuse for your own actions ... do not use those "reasons" to try to talk your way out of anything.

The hairdos are quite "oldschool" (sometimes they even feel more like an 80s kind of thing, even though the movie was made in the 90s) and if you don't mind beautiful women getting naked and jumping all over each other (men included), you could do worse. Still there is or rather could have been more to this. I guess you could do a party or drinking game with this - how ridiculous certain things are. There is not much else to say here, since there is not much story to this anyway.

I watched all of three minutes of this movie before turning it off. That was two minutes too long.
