Mais Forte que o Desejo

Erotic thriller starring Joan Severance anyone? What would you imagine the film would be like? Cheesy? Jazz music with smooth sax playing over the numerous pointless sex scenes? Well that's what I assumed but that is by no means what means what the film is like. It has a strange atmosphere to it and the build up to Severances infidelity is intriguing.

The film is well shot and there's a sense of actual artistry and this never resorts to the cheesy clichés we have come to know from Joan and her soft core peers Shannon Tweed and Shannon Whirry. What I also really liked was the score from George Clinton. It helps that he has a bit of class unlike many musicians working in low budget movies. Clinton has done many scores for big screen movies and has a good pedigree for a movie this size, and his score is interesting and atmospheric.

Overall this was surprisingly watchable. It has some intrigue without being overly entertaining. It is certainly the best thing I have seen from the gorgeous Severance. ***

.....Well i'm a fan of Zalman King and he didn't disappoint me with 'Lake Consequence', I loved it, the gorgeous brooding Billy Zane and the beautiful Joan Severence, great erotic scenes to brilliant music. I think Zalman King is a genius, he knows how to tune into peoples fantasies, men and women, he always casts beautiful people (Billy Wirth and Sherilyn Fenn to name but a few) and there's so much nervous tension throughout the film it's great! I have 2 soundtracks from his movies and they're fantastic too, I can't believe the rating for this is so low...if you like 'Red Shoe Diaries', 'Two Moon Junction' and of course '9 1/2weeks' then i'm sure you'll love this!

This movie has the most incredible sex scene I've ever seen. It takes place in a steamy hot tub with two girls and...ohmygosh...Billy Zane! The passion, the steam, and the look in his eyes makes this sex scene so immaculate, I wanted to rewind it a thousand times. Unfortunately, it was on TV. If you don't watch the movie for the screenplay (which is great also), watch it for this sex scene. I've never been so turned on by a movie before. I think I've found a new love for Billy Zane.

Lake Consequence is one of those movies that I'm embarrassed by myself for liking. The plot, (repressed, bored housewife has an affair with a sultry tree-trimming guy and some hot chick,) is contrived, but. . .well, there's no other way to put this. The sex scenes make this pic work. *Seriously* steamy. Billy Zane is intensely doable, if you know what I mean. For maximum viewing (and panting) pleasure, be sure to see the unrated version.

Lake Consequence is very typical of Zalman King. It's sexy and erotic with fantastic shoots and a soft, sexy, romantic soft-sex scenes that lead your imagination exactly where it's supposed to be. Billy Zane, while not David Duchovny, is beautiful. Joan Severence is beautiful...what more could you need. It's got a decent story-line and it's well acted, not stiff and choppy, not 'acted'. If you've seen Wild Orchid, or 9 1/2 Weeks, you have to see this. The cinematography is wonderful, the scenery perfect for the story and the music blends in as if it were meant to be there. Nothing canned, nothing corny, just steamy and wonderful.
