Le avventure erotix di Cappuccetto Rosso

Without much credit from fans or historians, Luca Damiano cranked out superior XXX porn in the oddball sub-genre of "Adult Fairy Tales" with this movie, plus ALICE IN PORNLAND, THREE LITTLE PIGS and later his hit SNOW WHITE & SEVEN DWARFS.

What RED RIDING HOOD has is exaggeration and enough kinkiness to please the most jaded fan. Clocking in at a whopping 2-1/2 hours, it also presages the current "more is more" trend of over-produced videos.

Barbarella/Virna Anderson is miscast as the title character, but the film survives. She simply is way, way too fake looking in a role where ideally the "underage" teasing was the way to go. Her rock-hard breasts (makes Sybil Danning's look natural), too puffy fake lips and Barbie Doll figure are strictly for fetishists.

Fortunately, she is not the primary sexual performer, more of a Little Annie Fanny (another role she could have played on screen) observing rather than doing. Instead her mother is played by U.S. import Chessie Moore, in probably her finest screen assignment. Very alluringly clothed in a low décolletage black negligee, she masturbates with a huge dildo and then has a sex scene with two workmen that Damiano wisely spreads (via inter-cutting) over many, many reels into the film as its centerpiece. Chessie does her famed legs-behind-her-head contortionist position and delivers two varieties of double-penetration.

Not to be outdone, Karin Schubert as Red's nanny has sex with a young guy in a hot scene, later hiding locked in the closet as he has his way (finally) with Red.

Contrasting with the huge breasts of the stars, petite Carole Nash is refreshing in a tavern gang-bang where she's working as a waitress.

Red on her travels encounters a Mad Hatter figure (he looks left over from Damiano's ALICE movie), and the picture veers into nonsense filler when she follows a Black dwarf into a hidden cottage for another orgy. Ron Jeremy is guest star alongside the dwarf (take your pick, fans) as the unappetizing duo take on two beauties in mix or match XXX fashion, including the lovely Black actress Persia/Venus, yet another American import. Red just watches, masturbating, during this lengthy diversion.

Punctuating the action is a considerable amount of crude animation & drawings, which fit well with the cast's pulling faces and overacting. Luca's trademark first-person shots of a penis entering a cavity are overdone. 35mm photography is a big plus, and the hokey/catchy theme music kinda grows on you.

Luca Damiano's erotic twist on the classic fairy tale, Le avventure erotix di Cappuccetto Rosso, is a kinky, captivating ride. Clocking in at 2.5 hours, it's an indulgent feast for fans of adult fairy tales, delivering a generous serving of explicit content and creative storytelling.

The film sees the familiar tale of Red Riding Hood reimagined with a deliciously naughty edge. While the casting of Barbarella/Virna Anderson in the titular role is a miss, with her appearance being too artificial for the part, the movie still succeeds in delivering erotic thrills. Anderson's performance is more about teasing and observing, which will surely please those into fetishism.

The real star of the show is Chessie Moore, who plays Anderson's mother. Moore's performance is nothing short of alluring and captivating. The scene where she masturbates with a huge dildo, followed by a steamy encounter with two workmen, is a standout moment. Moore showcases her flexibility, contorting her body into a legs-behind-her-head position, surrendering herself to the pleasures of double penetration in a scene that is as acrobatic as it is erotic.

Moore's performance, along with the creative twist on a classic tale, ensures this film is more than just your average porn flick. It's a testament to Damiano's skill that he can take a well-known story and inject it with such a generous dose of eroticism.

While the film may not be a critical darling, it certainly delivers on its promise of explicit content and leaves viewers with a memorable, unique adult film experience.
