Damien's Seed

Damien's Seed can be considered one of the very small number of mid Nineties B Movie 'erotic thrillers' that has a functioning plotline - albeit, a fairly cheesy one filled with pseudo 'religious' nonsense.

There are one or two superficial similarities to The Wicker Man (1974) which may have been at the back of someone's mind, but the most outstanding feature is the appearance of three of soft core's better actresses - namely Kira Reed, Shauna O'Brien and Jacqueline Lovell; of this trio Reed does well given how little she has to work with (a recurrent theme), O'Brien shows improvement from her earlier outings (as well as a great figure), while the charming Lovell steals the show with her relaxed and naturalist turn as a kindhearted drifter.

It's concluded in a fairly rushed manner, and the motivations, and objective of this odd sect led by O'Brien remain obscure, there's nice photography and location work in some Californian spa town which goes in the film's favour. And it's still miles ahead of the Wicker Man remake!

Damien's Seed. I saw this movie before I knew what the title was. This is Soft-core at it's finest. The plot is a basic woman disappears in a sleepy town and a Private Eye is hired by another woman to find her.

Thankfully the movie doesn't pretend to be anything more than soft-core porn. So the plot is light and fluffy and the sex scenes and nudity are diverse and plentiful. Yet at the same time, the sex scenes all feel like they fit.

There's a hint of pseudo-occult but I won't ruin it for you. If you are looking for a little more story with your porn then I would recommend you look no further than this one. As Shauna O'Brian and Jaqueline Lovell have plenty of steamy scenes to keep most thrill seekers happy

This is one of those ridiculous softcore sex movies they always show late at night on Cinemax (aka Skinemax), but it's one you can actually watch with the sound up. It seems to have an actual plot, albeit one that develops at the speed of molasses since they have to throw in a ten minute, slow-mo, softcore sex scene every five minutes or so. A detective is looking for a runaway girl, only to discover she is going to be the virgin sacrifice of a coven of witches. (Kind of reminds you of a REAL horror movie, huh?) The cast includes Jacqueline Lovell, who is unique among softcore sex performers in that she can actually act a little, and Kira Reed who is also unique in that she seems to relatively silicone free (there's still PLENTY of bad acting and silicone here though). The male lead is OK too, unconvincing as a detective perhaps, but at least he's not one of the grimacing idiots who are usually in these kind of things.

This movie was made at an interesting time. Softcore filmmakers seemed to realize that the dateless wonders that were, uh, entertaining themselves with this garbage didn't need a 90-minute movie for that purpose. They seemed to briefly toy with the old-fashioned idea of having a movie that actually had some appeal beyond the sex before going the other way and creating the 30-minute segment "erotic" series that they're probably still churning out for Cinemax today. That doesn't mean I would recommend this to anyone who is not primarily interested in seeing Lovell, Reed, et. al. naked and pretending to have incredibly wild sex, but this one of the less painful ways to do it.

Believe it or not, "Damien's Seed" has a decent plot and very good production values. The cinematography and art direction surely has it's B-movie feeling but looks somehow better than most of soft core sex flicks.

Seriously, the plot is somehow dark and sexy. The ritual scenes are very well done and could be major turn ons. The sex scenes are excellent and feature mostly lesbian sex.

You can't go wrong when you have in a sex movie the amazing, beautiful, sexy Jacqueline Lovell, the GREAT, queen Shauna O'Brien, and the always ho Kira Reed.

I highly recommend this movie for those who are looking for sexy entertainment and a dark plot. This is the perfect mix of sex with erotic horror story.

A soft core epic is not and, in fact, is not too bad. It does have a silly plot involving the Daughters of Darkness which does gives us a chance to see semi nude girls dancing around a fire. Jacqueline Lovell is always a delight and I'm sorry she has retired.

However, Shauna O'Brien's malformed breasts are a turn off for me
