Stormswept

This movie falls into the dubious Genre of, What the hell did I just watch? I use the term movie generously as a movie is equal parts cinematography and story. Stormswept is seriously lacking in the latter. It builds itself up as low budget horror/soft-core porn. Unfortunately, it only get's the low budget right. The story is laughably absent and plays like the filler between porno scenes. Only those are written better. And just when the movie finally looks like it's getting it's act together and get's moving on a story, It not only fails to deliver but gives us an ending that makes so sense whatsoever. I seriously couldn't spoil this movie even if I wanted to. Because the ending makes no sense at all.

In the end, there is no reason to watch this. One could argue Boobies, But with the internet today, one can NOT be that hard up for what brief bits of nudity that exist in this horrid purgatory of a movie. If you want decent soft-core with a spoonful of plot and a dash of Satanism, Watch Damien's Seed.

This movie doesn't know if it wants to be a psycho slasher thing, or a ghost story, or a soft core party, and ends up being none of them.

The only reason to see this picture is if you must see every frame of Lorissa McComas ever released. (Which would be understandable...) But if you were just looking for Lorissa, see _Lapdancing_, where she has a character you can care about, and more and better screen time.

This could have been a good erotic thriller. What sexual goings-on that are present at least exude a degree of passion. And the women are all yummy. The idea of a mansion haunted by a spirit that unleashes sexual and then homicidal tendencies is a good premise, it just didn't make it to the end. The only thing I can figure is that about 3/4 thru the shoot, somebody made a deal with Kinmont to grace the video cover, get top billing, and spend about 10 minutes of screentime doing and saying nothing. Trying to fit her character into the script resulted in the scrambled mess Stormswept became. The 'flashback' sequence is so hacked up it is practically non-existent. Which is all too bad, considering it was pretty well shot, and the actors are fairly convincing, especially in light of what they're asked to do. Worth at least one watch for voyuers.

I watched all of three minutes of this movie before turning it off. That was two minutes too long.

This movie would have to get better to be bad. Do not be fooled by the plot summary on back of the box. It is a poorly shot badly acted story about people you do not care about. It is not so bad as to be campy fun. Just say no.
