Mirror Images

I gave this movie a 4 and that is even after seeing the unrated version. I can only imagine how bad the rated version is. It's about a bored housewife (the lovely Delia Sheppard)who switches places with her promiscuous sister (Delia in a bad wig) and has sex with many people. It really has no plot and the sex scenes are boring. Mirror Images 2 is much more entertaining. Oh and from the "cry for help" department, John O'Hurley (yes, J. Peterman from Seinfeld)) plays a cop who really wants to have sex with Delia but has to wait till the movie is over. Even Julie Strain can't save this film! If you want to check out a good "bored housewife wants to have a good time" film check out Mirror Images 2.

This film was poor even by erotic thriller standards. I have seen a fair amount of the late night erotic thrillers on TV, Video & DVD. Most of them are not much and do not warrant a second viewing this was another of these.

Delia Sheppard is quite attractive but an extremely bad actress. She has actually appeared in mainstream film most notably Rocky V. This was however an extremely bad performance, nowhere near as bad as Anna Nicole Smith, but certainly not in the class of erotic queens Shannon Tweed & Shannon Whirry. The supporting performances are equally bad.

The plot was badly executed, hackneyed and uninteresting. The same sort of storyline has been seen many times before, and done way better. The sex scenes are very dull and not very erotic.

So basically on every level this film fails. Watch this if you want to be put to sleep as that is the only thing this film is sure to do for you.

If you are interested in Erotic Thrillers there are a great deal of these that are more worthy of your time than this garbage. It is an embarrassment for all concerned and better left on the shelf.

Jeff Conaway is a long way from his TAXI and GREASE days but he is the best thing about this slow-moving erotic thriller which features pretty decent sex scenes. Hippolyte was on a role in the early 1990s with his chain of erotic thrillers featuring more dialogue scenes and non-penetration sex scenes to disguise the pornographic tones that he would normally suggest as Gregory Dark. Nonetheless, this one is probably the best of his series. And don't forget to watch Dick Van Patten's son, Nels, embarass his father by repeatedly ordering Delia Shepperd to "Say my name! Say my name!!" 4/10

'Mirror Images' - A fun early 90's erotic thriller with slasher elements in this hazy dreamlike world of switched identities and seductive pleasures laced with political intrigue and murder and what could be more enjoyable than that. The movie is a rather entertaining and sleazy whodunit that features a fun cast, cheesy dialogue and plenty of deaths mixed with some classic T&A from the likes of Delia Sheppard and Julie Strain.

The Plot = Kaitlin Blair (Delia Sheppard), a bored and sexually frustrated woman adopts her twin sister Shauna's (also played by Delia Sheppard) identity when she goes out of town, but Kaitlin soon finds herself involved in a murder case.

Okay it would be a stretch to class this flick within the horror genre as it's more of a 90's sex thriller, but it does feature some light slasher elements within' its storyline and while it isn't the most original or exciting thriller out there, but the plot despite it's unoriginality is interesting enough to keep you invested and the erotic scenes are well crafted, even if the serial killer subplot and slasher elements isn't all that engaging and everything leads to a predictable and convoluted climax.

Delia Sheppard gives a convincing performance in the dual roles of the twins and proved to be good at playing both the naïve and innocent Kaitlin as well as the sexy and seductive Shauna. The rest of the cast were entertaining as well with John O'Hurley as the detective and fellow penthouse model Julie Strain as Gina and the real standout in terms of acting is Jeff Conaway as the sleazy and slimy husband.

Overall 'Mirror Images' is an entertaining and sleazy erotic thriller that features a lot of sex, some bad acting and an absurd plot that was fun if a little too ambitious to fully succeed.

One of those movies you would find hard recorded to a VHS tape, 'Mirror Images' is surprisingly high in style and reasonably well made considering its small scale.

Delia Sheppard is actually quite good at realistic subtlety - she genuinely looks and behaves like a real human being rather than an over the top theatrical caricature and I have a preference for that method. Jeff Conaway is not a good actor and seems bored and childish. John O'Hurley impresses more and is the best male character in the film.

The film dabbles into the themes of lesbianism and bisexuality in a respectable way and overall as a story/plot piece and erotic softcore content, it's quite meaningful and surprisingly wholesome.
