Pièges et séduction

I've seen lots of these low budget made for cable TV movies. This one stands out as better than most. First of all the plot twist (which of course I won't reveal) came as a real surprise. Secondly, the acting is better than most films of this type. Not Academy Award material, but better than usual.

Overall, it is tightly directed and you feel like every scene as a purpose, a reason for being there -- a sign of good writing and directing and also not typical of this genre. Sure, this one has the erotic content you expect but it's integral to the plot.

For this genre -- way above average.

It's been a few years since I saw this one,but reading the comments of the featured imdb reviewer made me want to send a comment: I found ALL THREE women in this movie very attractive,and the sex scenes were actually very arousing,but this plot seemed made-up as it went along. Add in that none of the people in this flick(even the lovely Miss Smith herself)can barely act when they're not gettin' it on,and you have a film with only one true purpose,and that is to end up on Cinemax late at night.

"Web of Seduction" holds a special place in my heart, it's a nostalgia trip if you will. In the US, productions like these are usually kept on Cinemax, far away from impressionable children. In Belgium, nobody gave a damn and we just showed this on regular television. Oh boy, did we show it. I've seen this movie so many times I thought it was a test pattern. After careful revision, I feel like it holds up to this day.

The main attraction of this movie is obvious: the intricate plot, which is about two dissatisfied wives who form a pact to kill each other's husband. The plot somewhat resembles "Strangers On A Train", but it makes less sense because the women involved are not actual strangers but rather neighbors and friends. Like, I reckon the police could still figure all this out quite easily. Not everything goes according to plan, giving us the best twist I've ever seen outside of "Days Of Our Lives".

While the film moves at a brisk pace, it is slowed down somewhat by the characters' constant appetite for sexual intercourse. This movie has six characters and though I should have made a chart, I'm pretty sure everyone has sex with everyone. This makes no sense, because some of them are married and still bone somebody besides their spouses. As a devote Christian, I don't condone any of that. To add insult to injury, we also get a threesome, some girl on girl action and (albeit very tame) masturbation. For shame "Web Of Seduction", you don't need smut like that.

The stand-out performer of the movie is without a doubt Lauren Hays, who is actually very believable as the sultry femme fatale and clearly enjoys playing this role. Unfortunately she hasn't done much in the field of erotic thrillers, though curiously she has done half a dozen of movies that appear to be foot porn. As good as she is here, I don't think "Fondle My Feet!" and "Bare Feet A Trois" (both real titles) will show much of her acting chops. Traci Ryan is very cute as the naive wive who turns to murder surprisingly quickly, but Nancy O'Brien appears to think she's acting in a "Scooby Doo" climax. And if it wasn't for you meddling kids!

Probably one of the best soft core sex movies from the 90's. Lauren Hays, Tracy Ryan, and Nancy O'Brien shine through the movie.

Lauren Hays delivers a sexy performance and she demonstrates that she is one of the best soft core actresses. Her body is amazing and her sex scenes are very hot. Those breasts, those legs... Lauren is extremely hot.

My favorite scene involving Lauren is when she is taken from behind in front of a mirror. Then she gets it really hard over the bed. Nice!

Nancy O'Brien has a memorable sex scene in a swimming pool. Her other sex scenes are very hot.

Tracy Ryan also has good sex material.

For those interested in this movie, buy it. It's totally recommended it.

SEX- extremely good , steamy hot scenes. WOMEN- for all tastes. Busty hot women, beautiful, skinny, etc.

This is the kind of movie to watch alone...

The acting was quite good for a movie of this sort, you actually get the feeling you are watching some decent actors and actresses and not some porn stars. Writing also was not that bad. While a plot evolving around 'killing a man by giving him some good sex' may seem thin, it is well worked out and there is even some room for character development. The end was a bit rough, like all the sudden the money had run out. But apart from the anti-climax I really can't say the film is bad in any way.

There are however censored versions out, that cut all the naked and sex scenes and make it a very 'housewomen' like TV-thriller. while this proves much of the women friendliness of the film, it's a bit overambitious for this one however. Plot and acting is indeed decent for what it was made for, but it is not that I would pay 5 bucks while there are many other direct to TV thrillers that are just better out there in the budget boxes. So make sure you get the unrated version.

On fun note: the idea of women in the hot California keeping black stockings in their drawer, just to wear whenever they want kinky sex.
