Fantasmes sous contrôle

Patricia Skeriotis is the only reason I watched this film she was brilliant as Devora. I am now a fan and wondered if she has got a fan club? The film is about a college lecturer who experiments with his students while they are asleep and the dreams that are induce and the lovely Miss Skeriotis enters their dreams

It's no Academy Award winner, but then no one watches the Academy Awards hoping to see Lisa Boyle tied to a bed in a girl-girl scene. Terrible dialogue and great scenery make this movie a decent rental for any Lisa Boyle fan.

No pun intended - don't sweat over the desk ... wait, actually do sweat over it! Another pun you say? Well I guess so - but the movie has a lot to give (and show), so there is that. This is a somewhat guilty pleasure of mine (come on, how else would I describe it? Exactly) ... and it solidified .. my love for Lisa Boyle (who was called Cassandra something for the movie too).

The movie is on the erotic side - there is quite a lot of nudity and steamy situations. But what elevates this from other movies, that sort of only show skin (not hating on other stuff, just pointing out the differences) ... is that this actually has a story. Now it may not be the best and greatest and all that .. but it is quite intriguing in more than one sense (which also goes for what is being stimulated).

It could have done with a bit of better writing I guess (better acting) and better set design - but that goes down to ... no not that going down! There is enough of that here though - no that is something that can be attributed to the low budget this had. There is only so much you can make. I reckon the video quality is not the best either - this was not meant to be shown on a big screen however ... anyway, if you like a sensual movie to tickle more than just ... well you know what, this is able to satisfy all your needs ... and I am still not entirely sure about the ending ... and I won't check if it means something different than I think it does ... maybe you think it is clear cut ... I'd like to believe there is two ways to see it ... at least! And again no pun intended for review 11066 (it's in the number for me)

An amusingly bad mix of post-Freudian psychology, sleep science, bedeviled women, and naked co-eds. This is a classic adult thriller, meaning that it is not thrilling and is really meant for frustrated teenagers. The acting is periodically horrible, but usually rises to the level of being just awful. The plot (about four students and a professor who conquer their sexual fears while lucid dreaming but--surprise!--meet a mysterious devil-woman in their dreams and must team up to defeat her) is intriguing in the let's-slow-down-and-look-at-the-overturned-tractor-trailer sort of way. Standard pay-TV after-dark fare.

Imagine a B-film with cheap dated special effects which story mixes sexploitation, sci-fi (psychiatric revolutionary experiments) and fantasy (besides never explained divination abilities, there is a trip to the real of dream, where evil Devora reigns). It may be awful, don't you think? Well, I may admit that I surprisingly enjoyed it. It is B, it is exploitation, there is no great acting or amazing script, but I liked it. The story is interesting enough for a so unpretentious film, and eroticism (very softcore) is good. I did like Devora, a quite sexy character (kind of succubus dominatrix played by Patricia Skeriotis), that should have had more screen time.
