Sex Files: Alien Erotica

If your really not into outer space movies, you'll love this one. Myself, I don't even care for the X-files. But given this is an outer space movie that has sex from start to finish, (not hard core sex) it's very well put together. It gets to the point that it is really funny. And if you like to see lots of good looking ladies you'll love this movie.

This film earns five stars out of five for being a great all-around postmodern sci-fi retro parody. Overall, Alien Erotica is really campy and corny--the dialogues, costumes, and set seem like colorized versions of their 50 year-old counterparts. The postmod quality of this film results from its being a spoof on the current X-files program coupled with and reinscribed by extremely cheesy acting, periodic shabby footage (that resembles vignettes from 1950's space and monster movies), and extremely hot actresses that look like they're from the pages of Penthouse. The level of the erotic is very high in this film, featuring simulated sexual encounters and full body shots of B-movie hotties Kira Reed, Delphine Pacific, and Gabriella Hall. The most erotic scene sequence begins when Delphine Pacific (a scorching Asian who plays Dr. Claire Danning) is infected by the spores of the alien plant. She proceeds to whip off her horn-rimmed glasses, disrobe and spread the slimy alien spores all over her naked and beautifully shaven hardbody, roll around in ecstasy, and seduce several crew members to boot. What makes this scene so erotic/comedic is the radical switch that Delphine Pacific's character undergoes: the character of Dr. Claire Danning is really square and nerdy--in manner, appearance, and speech, who yet goes through a whole sexual turnaround after being infected by the spores. I would recommend this film to those who like science fiction, those who like comedies, and those who like to see young hot women getting naked.

Also billed as "The Sex Files" - "Alien invasion"...A plant found in space has strange sexual effects. Plenty of wit, with visual and verbal jokes. Someone took enough care to get the look and timing of things right. The women are beautiful, and the plot is pretty decent for this genre. Much better than I hoped for.

This movie is actually a better version of Lifeforce (1985)! They actually seem to have spent somewhat of a budget on this one, so there's some interesting F/X shots (like the opening space craft). A couple of steps above your average X-rated "rip off a popular title" movie, there's actually signs of a sense of humor, some decent directorial touches, and decent writing. Much better than you'd expect.

Okay, it's not something that will win an Academy Award. But if you take it for what it is, you'll enjoy it. It's one of those B movies that you have to like because it doesn't take itself seriously, and it's enjoyable. Sure, it's a guilty pleasure, but if you take it for what it's all about, then you'll like it.
