The Devil in Miss Jones 5: The Inferno

This is by far one of the best adult movies ever made. Nicole Lace has the hottest scene in her career. Rebecca Lord's cage scene was also fantastic. If you are reading this you're already a fan - so do yourself a favor and buy this movie!

I remember liking this one, but watching it so close to 3&4, it's a huge step down. Great cast, but there's no real story here. It's basically a series of set-ups introduced by Rip Hyman as the Devil. So there's no journey like the previous films, and sadly Hyman is no Jack Baker. Dark made a few films like this in the 90's, and they typically work, just not in this case. As a stand alone film from 95, it's pretty good, as a film in the series, not great.

Gregory Dark does a terrible job -rounding up a cast of 36, count 'em, 36 players including many beautiful atresses and comes up with nothing to show for it.

Flashy editing, montages of gonzo sex and fake subliminal messaging do not a movie make. Poor VCA superstar Juli Ashton takes a career backtracking move going gonzo for an hour and a half - I guess she changed agents after this debacle.

Making it unwatchable is "Rip Hymen" playing the Devil, lecturing the viewer with condescending remarks throughout. Script is by a porn industry hack (his bio proudly proclaims working for Screw and Hustler -gee whiz!). His stage name is "Selwyn Harris", a not very clever steal of the names of two extinct 42nd Street theaters (yes, I went to many movies at both back in the '80s).

A large number of the actresses here are fan favorites, hopefully they were well paid for the endless anal sex and double penetrations.

I once did a phone interview with Dark when he was shooting softcore as A. Hippolyte - he had some talent but clearly was full of himself (and "it") when he shot this wasteful project.

This movie still has a bit more class and effort put into it than the average typical genre example. Yet it really is not half as creative or original than any of the four previous movies.

It's a real late sequel again, in the well known 'Devil in Miss Jones' franchise. It's definitely interesting to see, while watching this movie, what changes the porn industry went through over the years. Not only the technical aspects and approaches of the movies have all changed over the years but also the perspective of what is hot and beauty. In the '70's Miss Jones still looked like an housewife, in the '80's she was a rock-chick and in the '90's, so in this movie, she is a Barbie, so to speak.

I can't really say that I was too crazy about the sex sequences in this movie. Problem really was its editing and camera-handling. It's all being edited real fast and there are literally moments that the one cut they are in one position while in the next positions have suddenly changed radically. It's not really consistent and I just didn't liked the flow of it. I have never too fond about '90's style of film-making, seems that this goes for the porn industry as well.

One other thing that really started to annoy was keep seeing the same persons appear over and over again, in different settings and costumes. Some more variety in this wouldn't had harmed the movie. Most of the girls are all pretty good looking though, luckily.

It's still better than the usual genre attempt, if that is saying anything to you.
