'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.

This film's script tells a tale of identical twin sisters, played by Delia Sheppard, who have little to link them other than appearance, and of how one must pay for attempting to usurp her sister's place when the latter disappears. Kaitlin, although unhappily married, has wed into wealth and resides in a mansion; meanwhile, her sister Shauna is a stripper in a sleazy bar who mysteriously tells Kaitlin she needs money with which to immediately leave town. Kaitlin impulsively takes Shauna's place during the dark hours and soon discovers that everything is not quite all right with her sister's life style, which includes sexual and drug excess. While she more or less frolics, complications abound, including murder, and Kaitlin becomes increasingly aware that her nocturnal impersonation does not provide compensation for the difficulties with which she must deal. This scenario wobbles about as it is merely an interstice for the doffing of garments by Sheppard and others preparatory to thrashing about in various sexual liaisons, one or two of which might possibly have something to do with the plot, such as it is. There is nothing fresh here as one illogical scene follows upon the other far too slowly, to the viewer's discomfort, with the abysmally poor dialogue and tiresome exposure of flesh merely resulting in an example of softcore pornography, and that devoid of any real eroticism or any other purpose.

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.

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

This is one of those thriller type films that I only wanted to see for the chance of some good nudity or sex scenes. I remember there are a couple of good moments, no lesbians or anything, but some very good nudity content. Obviously I pay no attention to the story that is meant to be going on in this film and I don't know any of the actors or actresses. But I still become attracted to the woman in this film with her gorgeous body, that I unfortunately can't remember. Maybe if I saw this again I would remember just how much I probably liked this film. But for now, I'll just say that it probably is a very good film filled with some good nude and sex sequences. Good!
