Hotter Than Hell

Hotter Than Hell (1971)

* 1/2 (out of 4)

Ultra cheap porno has Satan and his two boys getting it on with women in Hell. The women are tortured with dildos but soon the old man decides to send his boys up to Earth where they have sex with countless other women.

HOTTER THAN HELL is a pretty darn bad movie no matter how you look at it. If you're a fan of these 70's pornos then you know that there were several hundred made for no money and they were just meant to be shown in a theater for a week or two and that was it. This film here doesn't have too much story and the horror elements are minor but at the same time you'd think that the filmmakers would have at least delivered on the sex. Well, they certainly didn't because this was one of the most poorly filmed pornos that I've ever seen. The entire thing is quite ugly and the cinematography is poor. In fact, they show so little that they might as well had made this a simulated film.

I have this on VHS tape that runs just over one hour ten minutes so that is what my review is for.

Satan is concerned of not enough souls being sent to hell. He therefore sends his two devil sons to corrupt and recruit souls.

This movie doesn't work as a porn movie. Nor as a sexploitation movie. Or even just a movie. The story premise is fine but the execution is terrible. The dialogue is awful. The acting is awful. And yes even the sex is awful. This movie is proof why in most porn movies actors use Viagra.

Even with all the shortcomings they evidently needed to pad the movie a few minutes with one actress dancing (if that's what you call it) nude that's definitely not erotic, then smokes a joint, then lays in bed with a mirror focused as is the camera between her legs that also is not erotic.

This movie did everything wrong. I gave it a generous 2 out of 10 stars for nude girls although it was really a zero for me.

In hell the devil and his two sons are enjoying their daily portion of torturing women. Then the devil receives a message: the next shipment of souls is smaller, for some people were considered to be good after a new examination. The devil sends his sons to earth to investigate and to corrupt as many women as they can. But the modern women turn the parts and seduce the devil's sons.

This is the storyline. It may sound ridiculous, but it is not as ridiculous as the movie itself. Cheaply made, no script, no money to pay actors, cameramen or other crew apparently. The porn is ridiculous as well. In most scenes explicit action is nowhere around. But then suddenly there are a few hard core scenes. After which it is back to soft core. And it doesn't look like the hard core scenes were added later. So whoever edited this movie (or directed it) couldn't make up his mind what to produce: the worst comedy of all time, or the worst hard core porn movie of all times.

The version I saw was the one published by Something Weird Video and ran for just 49 minutes. There were no credits at the beginning, nor at the end. I didn't recognize any of the actors. And this movie is so bad, that I even don't want to know who are in this monstrosity.

Thanks to firms like Something Weird Video we can enjoy the sleaze and camp from the '60's, '70's and '80's. But there was no need whatsoever to dig up this flick. Neither porn lovers nor camp or sleaze lovers will be interested in this mess really.

I rate this one 1 out of 10, mainly because that is as low as I can go here on the IMDb.
