The Beautiful Evil

Stephanie Swift is "The Beautiful Evil", a mysterious stranger who turns out to be a spirit out for revenge. I enjoy Adult Cinema with a story, and Shawn Ricks, a filmmaker who previously eluded my radar, delivers a good one here.

Opening is pretty cornball, as Swift arrives at Mickey G.'s home looking for help -her car's broken down. He lets her stay over as a tow can't get there for days, and what unfolds is in the wonderful genre of favorite mainstream movies of mine, notably Pasolini's "Teorema" and Hal Prince's "Something for Everyone".

Yes, Swift has no trouble seducing members of the household of either sex, but she's after something else. The interesting back story dates back 15 years to Chicago where the young SS was mistreated, and eventually Mickey G., his wife played by Toni James and his real-life wife Missy are assembled to get their Swift comeuppance.

Sex scenes are well-performed, particularly by SS and visual are up to snuff thanks to an early assignment for camera ace Jake Jacobs. Even an extraneous sex scene of Swift giving delivery boy Billy Glide's big cock a blow job is handled with great fun.
