So, a stripper meets a guy at her job after following the advice from another stripper about picking out men to fleece. The things is, she is a novice and she falls for the guy instead of following her fellow stripper's advice. And we travel into the descent of madness for some strange reason because it doesn't make any logical sense to do so because films seems to speed up a relationship when all logic fails. Why do they do this all the time, a guy meets a girl a girl meets a guy and 3 minutes later they fall in love. Not real and this isn't real. I read another reviewers comments and it seems as if that person may have had a connection with the film because what they wrote had nothing to do with the film and what I experienced. In fact, based on those comments, I watched the film and as I watched it, I was very close to abandoning it because it was treading down well worn paths. I was hoping for better but in the end, it was no surprise with the ending as the attempt to misdirect throughout the film was an absolute failure as was the premise.

I didn't really know much about "Goddess of Love" prior to sitting down to watch it, after I had happened to come across it by sheer blind luck. I read the synopsis, and thought it sounded like it had potential to be a great movie, perhaps sort of a mixture of a revenge movie and thrown in with some of the psychotic madness as seen in movies such as "May".

After having seen "Goddess of Love", I will say that writers Alexis Kendra and Jon Knautz certainly had some interesting ideas and Jon Knautz also managed to bring many of these elegantly to life on the screen. However, the movie just lacked a more intense pace. The storyline was good, but it just suffered under a very slow paced progress.

And speaking of the storyline, then there were some really interesting aspects to the storyline in terms of Venus's slow decent as her mind and psyche slowly starts to crumble and come apart. But there is more, there were also some really nice twists to the storyline along the way; twists that you don't really see coming. And on that account, the writers really did a phenomenal job.

"Goddess of Love" has some very good acting performances, and the movie is really carried a great long way by the talented cast they had hired for the various roles in this movie. Most impressive was Alexis Kendra in the lead role as Venus. She really carried the movie well, and she put on a very memorable performance.

This movie really had potential to be a very unique and outstanding movie, but it was just brutally butchered by a way too slow paced storytelling. It was a shame, truly, because I did enjoy the storyline and the acting, but it was the lack of proper pace to the storyline that just killed it off for me. As such, the movie settles on a mediocre 5 out of 10 stars rating from me.

In GODDESS OF LOVE, exotic dancer, Venus (Alexis Kendra) falls for a man (Woody Naismith) in the club where she performs, leading to a whirlwind romance. Unfortunately for Venus, the relationship doesn't quite go as she had hoped, causing her to become increasingly jealous, desperate, and suspicious.

Director Jon Knautz does a great job of slowly building the mania, and dialing up the psychotic tension. Ms. Kendra plays her unbalanced role as a somewhat sympathetic character, that is, until it all hits the fan. Venus is a driven force of nature who simply cannot handle disappointment.

The result is a superior horror-thriller fueled by vengeance. It also has a wonderful twist at the end...

You kind of know where that woman is going when she is called Venus, don't you? But there is more to this than just her (sex) drive. As another reviewer stated, hell hath no fury - like Venus scorned I'd write. Having said all that, there is obviously nudity and sex in this movie, but also a lot of violence.

If you can handle that, there is something there to enjoy. Well if you can say that about madness and craziness of course. The story sort of makes sense, although there is a lot of things that go south and may be totally ruining the movie for some. Characters behaving irrationally is a given of course ...

Please don't waste your time watching this garbage. If the nokia 3310 came with a camera and you made an ad-hoc recording of people walking on the street with that camera, it would look and have a better story than this piece of trash.

These writers need to be fired, and keel hauled for putting out this hot mess. Every movie has the same weak minded air headed caricature of a woman too stupid to see through the BS put forth by the sleaze bag men that inhabit these over-rated films.

It is always the same unrealistic rushed falling in love BS, when to tell the truth. It is more lust than anything else, but as usual we're stuck with weak writing, cheesy plots and men who only need to look at a woman and these women will drop their panties in a second. Even strippers have values and don't sleep with every moron with a penis.

So throw common sense, believability and realism out the window, and you might find some enjoyment with this garbage.

"Goddess of Love" was far better than I was expecting, especially since it was on ScreamBox. And I wish I could rate it higher, but there is slow burn...and way too slow burn. This is the latter.

Alexis Kendra plays stripper Venus, who quickly falls for a recently widowed Australian she meets at the club. It doesn't take long before he's ready to move on and start seeing someone else and she spirals into a manic state. When the new girlfriend brings her stuff that she left at the ex's place, they get into a confrontation. It gets worse when Venus looks through her stuff and finds a busted statue of Venus with a card saying "love" attached. Now she REALLY goes over the bend and after finding the new girlfriend's house, leaves a gift of her own which is really disturbing if you're an animal lover. From that point on it's pretty violent, and the ending is somewhat, "huh?"

Overall, the acting is pretty good, and Kendra is particularly fascinating to watch. Her eyes are beautiful and I could see how she could seduce men easily. She handled the dramatic scenes well and real cried instead of fake cried, so extra points there. The cinematography was quite good, sometimes so stunning it overwhelmed the scenes. The pacing, however, was problematic, and the first two acts are kind of boring while you're waiting for something to happen other than Venus pining over a man who isn't serious about her. You just want to have a heart to heart and say, "Kiddo, you're a stripper. You are never going to be marriage material to him." Of course, she might stab you to death for saying that, as she IS crazy. But was she crazy before Mr. Australia rocked her world? And I'll be honest, I don't recall hearing a soundtrack. If there was one it was apparently incredibly unobtrusive.

Truly, for a relatively low budget film, it doesn't really look that way. And if it wasn't for the dullness of the first part, I think this would have been a far superior film. I think there's a lot of talent here, and I'm hopeful that Kendra has more opportunities.

Surprisingly entertaining given the announced topic. It could have fell all over with boring notes and moody development (trying not to give up anything, here - no spoilers). But no: we delve into this woman's psyche and it's fun, it's a wild trip.

The ending is a bit easy and therefore, disappointing. But only the very end.

In terms of cinematography, it's pretty well made. Photography is good, so is the editing. But it falls a bit short. It's a tiny bit... raw, a little thin. It shows its small budget through the manner it's done, imo.

Actors are good. It's a sexy flick you tend to follow with interest all the way through the end. Personally, I liked it. It was a good 90-something minutes. Really enjoyable. I rate it 5 a bit unfairly. I think it's probably worth something closer to a 6, but it does fall short of it. (6: entertaining; 5: entertaining with reservations).

Holy crap, what an awesomely entertaining film. I purposely knew nothing about it, other than the written synopsis, and the film ended up being of the most well-made American films I have seen in a long time. The premise starts off simple enough; a very pretty girl meets a man at a strip club and a relationship blooms. Unfortunately, things start to go south very quickly. The level of crazy in this is commendable, and I found myself chuckling at how disturbingly psychotic the female lead became, and by the time the credits start to roll, you are left with a sense of satisfaction that no loose ends were left, which in itself is a success. Coupled with a talented cast, great use of practical special effects, and some amazingly beautiful cinematography (seriously, there were times when I paused the film and thought to myself, "That would make a beautiful painting"), this film is an achievement in cinematic excellence, as far as I am concerned. The people responsible for this should be commended for not only showing the world what films can become at the hands of competent people, but also what a love for the craft embeds into the final product. A treat from start to finish, the writer/director has a new fan and I look forward to what this creative team does next.

Since the essential plot elements are mentioned by the other reviewers, all I want to point out is that Goddess of Love is a good-looking little film, with an aura of authenticity. The plot seems to be secondary, making the film an acting showcase for its star, Alexis Kendra, playing the role of a young and mentally unstable stripper named Venus. And what a showcase it is! Helping along is Woody Naismith, in the role of Brian, a photographer and a love interest, playing the character with wonderfully nuanced performance. Once in a while, a film like this one pops out, head and shoulders above films with similar budgets. Beautifully shot and directed by Jon Knautz. Pleasure to watch!

Once in awhile, something really surprises you. I wasn't expecting this to be as entertaining as it turned out.

As another reviewer mentioned, the photography was gorgeous. The choices of camera angles and shots were superb, and it was beautifully lit.

The story was engrossing and the script was well written.

Ms. Kendra. Rarely is a woman this drop-dead beautiful also this skilled and talented. She carried the movie well and was really believable. This girl has game.

Great job by all involved. I will watch again.

A disturbing movie with an absolutely kickass and brave central performance, this should be much more widely known than it is. You won't be able to look away. Makes Fatal Attraction seem like Bambi. Very, very nicely done.

I loved this movie. It is easily one of my favourites movies. 5.3 is a joke but the people who didn't like this film didn't understand it in my opinion. Or they just don't like this genre. I feel the whole delusions/hallucinations thing hasn't been done to great effect with a lot of movies, but it was superbly done here. They even threw in a twist at the end which was good. It was also an interesting commentary on mental illness and how when someone tries to self medicate rather than go to a doctor etc, the results are normally bad.

I did notice this film rated a little better with an older audience. I'm not surprised as I don't see people with very little life experience understanding that people like this character do exist in the world, and this is likely how they would act.

Last but not least, the acting in this movie was terrific. Alexis Kendra is a very talented actress, and considering she also co wrote this movie, you could tell she put her heart and soul into the character, which paid big dividends in my eyes. Everyone else in the movie acted well too I thought.

Was confused on what was happening at first then finally figured it out at the end had me shocked. Monday Scott did a great supportive role aswell going out of the way to help someone else in her struggling time.
