Péchés Capitaux

This movie should have been better, one memorable sex scene and that's it. 30 minutes into this tropical peanut I started having flashbacks of when Rodrigo tied me to an orange tree and made me sing "bar stools and baby's don't mix". I surely would have been a lot happier and not so loony if they would have at least put two more suger cubes in this cup of luke warm mocha. -*1/2 stars

SINS OF DESIRE (1993 Video)

WARNING: Depictions of Sexual Assault (see below)

BASIC PLOT: This is a silly movie, sometimes hilarious, but entertaining in an accidental way. It's supposed to be about a psychotic couple who run a sex therapy clinic, you know an erotic thriller. It ends up being an unintentional comedy.

WHAT WORKS: *The scene with the delivery driver as sex therapy patient is hilarious! His reactions to the two beautiful girls climbing all over him is priceless!

*Jan-Michael Vincent gives a boffo performance of Warren Robillard, the strange, 'Members Only' wearing weirdo, who gets caught up with the Callisters.

*The cheesy music written and performed by Becky LeBeau is perfect for this indecorous film.

WHAT DOESN'T WORK: *The sex scene after the Callisters kill Robillard is hilarious and farcical. Their genitals never come close to touching, and the type of lingerie Jessica Callister (Delia Sheppard) has on would make sex impossible, or at least unpleasant. Also, the faces John Henry Richardson (Dr. Scott Callister) makes during this sex romp are comical!

*Why exactly does Kay (Tanya Roberts) fall into bed with Jessica (Delia Sheppard) at the clinic? Is it so Barry Mitchum (Nick Cassavetes) can get away? That's some diversion!!

TO RECOMMEND, OR NOT TO RECOMMEND, THAT IS THE QUESTION: *If you like movies that are so bad they're good, you'll like this. It has many campy and ridiculous scenes, that are entertaining. Also, if you're a fan of fake breasts, there's lots here for you to like.

CLOSING NOTES: *This does have a rape scene at the very beginning. It is disjointed and bizarre, but deserves a warning none the less.

*This is a Straight-to-Video movie, please keep that in mind before you watch\rate it. Straight-to-Video movies have a much lower budget, and so your expectations should be adjusted.

*I have no connection to the film, or production in ANY way. I am just an honest viewer, who wishes for more straight forward reviews. Hope I helped you out.

Why? I don't know. The debut of this movie. I seen it at least 3 times. There's little to say about this movie unless you are a fan of T/A. The women are gorgeous and a reminder of why the late 80's early 90's was a wonderful time for T/A movies. Gail Harris, Tanya Roberts, Becky LeBeau and Monique Parent are smoking. The plot don't think to hard. 😄😄 The finale for me is hilarious, it's unintentionally funny, better than expected. I would have loved if Gail and Tanya were given a long scene? If you are fan of T/A, movies you don't study the plot and you have time to kill in the late nights/early morning? This is the movie for you. I would be remiss if I didn't send a shout to Jay Richardson and Jan Michael Vincent. You can say what you want. When it comes to slimy perverts, few can play better. As for Jan? I see the Jan Michael Vincent of The Mechanic and wonder what happened?

The fat guy in the bed being teased by the 2 strippers was one of the crew. He might have been the transpo captain or coordinator. I forget. This was a fun little late night film. Worth every penny! The house was on a cliff in Malibu and provided a wonderful Clinic for the film. Tanya Roberts and Dalhia Shepard have a very hot scene that is worth watching just for the breasts. Jan Michael Vincent is perfectly cast. The story is pretty hokey, but that is not why we watched this film. The exploration of the clinic sets the scene for wacky antics and a sleuth story that Sherlock Holmes should look into. Unfortunately this did not make it to the theaters, and went directly from cable to video.

This movie may have been daring for the late 1980's, but is really dated. The movie I viewed was in narrow screen, and frankly was a bore. A practice running a sex therapy clinic has Kay's (Tanya Roberts) sister as a patient, and she winds up committing suicide. So it becomes a bring to justice movie. There is a funny scene of a young man who can't perform, so two women do a strip tease to arouse him. But it is rather formula driven, and predictable. There are holes in the plot galore. An abandoned movie set/lot that no one ever goes to anymore suddenly is functional with lights at the end. And if one wants to see a drag out fight that is perhaps the worst staged fight ever, this movie delivers. Even the skin cannot save this movie.
