Wildflower

At first, I thought this was going to be another cheesy erotic thriller. Then the strangest thing happened. I found myself getting caught up in all the crosses and double crosses taking place before me.

There's enough a whodunit (not to mention whose-doing-it-with-who) in the midst of all this that will keep you guessing until the very end. If that wasn't enough, there's a really hot lesbian scene about halfway through the movie. The only drawback the film has a ridiculous and confusing final few minutes. It taints everything that came before it and is confusing. It also fails to do just to the one person who truly deserves it. However, in the end, this movie is exactly what it set itself out to be. . . a solid erotic thriller with plenty of both.

As a teen I was raised on these Skinemax kind of movies, so I have a soft spot for them...This was one I'd never heard of and it turns out to be a pleasant surprise. It does feature the usual beautiful women (I think I remember the blond girl winning FEAR FACTOR once) getting naked but there was actually a pretty good story in there too with alot of back-stabbing among the family to keep things interesting.

The movie is also well shot for a low budget with a certain slickness and style that are usually overlooked in these kinds of movies. They even make good use of the main location -- A cabin in the middle of the woods.

Too bad we never got a sequel since it seems set up perfectly for one.

No, i didnt not enjoy this movie because of the sex, i enjoyed this movie because of the good solid plot and the above average acting. Most erotic movies suck because of the amount of sex but this one was fine.

The thing that is most sad is that they use big breasted tramps as the leading lady and typically buff guys for the leading man.

This certainly is one of the best i've seen in a long time. 8/10

Wildflower (aka Blood Related) is a low budget thriller with a fairly serviceable plot - made in the days before a hostile takeover by hydra headed sharks, giant octopi and aging Playmates.

After a wealthy patriarch (and corporate oligarch - although we never learn what this mighty organisation actually does) dies during a sex induced heart attack with a sadistic hooker, his dysfunctional family rendezvous at a chalet/cottage deep in the beautiful California countryside (easily the outstanding feature) to claim his/their fortune. Of course, there's endless backstabbing, scheming and even murder; the loose cannon amidst the intrigue is a mysterious hitchhiker with her own agenda.

Silly and cheesy as it is, Wildflower is still a cut above the average erotic thriller nonsense. Although overacting abounds throughout, there's a decent opening theme and it is generally well edited and photographed. The lifting and loading Is amply provided for by the stunning duo of Tamie Sheffield and C.C Costigan - the former became a poster girl for the rest of the decade; the latter made a few more films, dabbled in reality TV, and then disappeared thereafter.

This movie is without a doubt one of the best erotic movies. I have ever seen, not because of the sex well that played a part, but because of the brilliant acting from these unknown stars, who aren't really credited enough. The only bad thing about this movie was some of the actors weren't given a full introduction and not much was known about a few sub-main characters.
