Electronic Lover

Poor Master (yes...that's really what the main character is called). What's a guy to do when he's horny as hell and the Internet is a long way away? He takes matters into his own hands, that's what! Master much be one rich fella cuz he has his own computer that takes up an entire wall of a room.

What is the purpose of this computer? Well...Master sends his slave, named Brother, out around the town with a remote camera. Brother sticks the camera into the windows of women so Master can spy on them on his computer's monitor.

If Master sounds a bit perverted that's because...he is!! When he's not spying on naked women, he's fondling and kissing himself in his full-length mirror. Not surprisingly, Master also has a lot of trouble distinguishing between reality and fantasy. He often hallucinates that there are women making love to him.

"Electronic Lover" also features an interracial dance routine with a couple of naked chicks and four stripped down hippies running around a forest. All in all, this is a film whose focus is on nudity and not on any substantial plot. 2/10

Mike Atkinson plays the Master in this surreal little soft-core film of the late 60's. The Master is a peeping tom who sends his minion to fellow various women around with a video camera, the images being sent back to the Masters lair where he can enjoy it in solitary. Way too Avant garde for my tastes, I found the movie to be dumb, eceltic, silly, and more than just a touch pretentious. Not a good recipe for a compelling film in the least. The only reason I watched it was because it was on the same DVD as "The Spy who Came" a much MUCH better movie in every conceivable way. This is definitely one to skip.

My Grade: D-

Something Weird DVD Extras: 2 shorts: Girl of my dreams & the Philosophy of Computing, "Tel-Star Striptease" feature (in actuality an excerpt of "the Peep Snatchers"); 12 minute Gallery of Underground Sexploitation movie magazine covers with audio oddities; and Trailers for "the Curous Dr. Humpp", "Office Love-in", "the Singles" & "Some like it Violent" (the film is also bundled with the vastly superior "The Spy who Came" on this DVD)
