Péchés Capitaux

When it comes to erotic thrillers I stop caring so much about production quality (although I appreciate it if it is present). The highlights on this one are Tanya Roberts and Delia Sheppard ('cause I love them both), and watching them together (and pretty close) justifies this feature a lot. Of course, this is a personal opinion.

The fat guy in the bed being teased by the 2 strippers was one of the crew. He might have been the transpo captain or coordinator. I forget. This was a fun little late night film. Worth every penny! The house was on a cliff in Malibu and provided a wonderful Clinic for the film. Tanya Roberts and Dalhia Shepard have a very hot scene that is worth watching just for the breasts. Jan Michael Vincent is perfectly cast. The story is pretty hokey, but that is not why we watched this film. The exploration of the clinic sets the scene for wacky antics and a sleuth story that Sherlock Holmes should look into. Unfortunately this did not make it to the theaters, and went directly from cable to video.

Sins of Desire (1993) is a film I recently revisited on Tubi. The storyline follows a corrupt clinic that drugs its patients and exploits them as sex slaves. A detective teams up with the sister of a former victim to infiltrate the clinic and expose its dark secrets.

Directed by Jim Wynorski (Chopping Mall), the movie stars John Henry Richardson (Poison), Gail Thackray (Hard to Die), Tanya Roberts (Sheena), Delia Sheppard (Rocky V), and Jan-Michael Vincent (The Mechanic).

This is one of those films best approached as a softcore porn thriller. If you're expecting a substantive or well-executed movie, you'll likely be disappointed. The film leans heavily on its visuals, featuring stunning actresses, frequent nudity, and softcore-porn caliber sex scenes. The stripper sequences are well-done, and the soundtrack adds a fun, campy vibe. However, the poorly executed action sequences, especially during the climax, leave much to be desired.

In conclusion, Sins of Desire delivers exactly what its premise suggests: attractive leads and risqué content, but little else. I'd score it a 4/10 and only recommend it with appropriate expectations.

This movie may have been daring for the late 1980's, but is really dated. The movie I viewed was in narrow screen, and frankly was a bore. A practice running a sex therapy clinic has Kay's (Tanya Roberts) sister as a patient, and she winds up committing suicide. So it becomes a bring to justice movie. There is a funny scene of a young man who can't perform, so two women do a strip tease to arouse him. But it is rather formula driven, and predictable. There are holes in the plot galore. An abandoned movie set/lot that no one ever goes to anymore suddenly is functional with lights at the end. And if one wants to see a drag out fight that is perhaps the worst staged fight ever, this movie delivers. Even the skin cannot save this movie.

Why? I don't know. The debut of this movie. I seen it at least 3 times. There's little to say about this movie unless you are a fan of T/A. The women are gorgeous and a reminder of why the late 80's early 90's was a wonderful time for T/A movies. Gail Harris, Tanya Roberts, Becky LeBeau and Monique Parent are smoking. The plot don't think to hard. 😄😄 The finale for me is hilarious, it's unintentionally funny, better than expected. I would have loved if Gail and Tanya were given a long scene? If you are fan of T/A, movies you don't study the plot and you have time to kill in the late nights/early morning? This is the movie for you. I would be remiss if I didn't send a shout to Jay Richardson and Jan Michael Vincent. You can say what you want. When it comes to slimy perverts, few can play better. As for Jan? I see the Jan Michael Vincent of The Mechanic and wonder what happened?
