Auditions from Beyond

Captain's Log: These are the voyages of the Surrender Cinema female nude auditions. And the size of the hooters, out of this galaxy! Really an extended promotional for Surrender Cinema's first films: Femalien, Virtual Encounters, and the sequels. In "Voyeur Vision" footage is even included of the girls undressing behind a partition screen. I certainly hope those who weren't given a part were paid for a film appearance with more than a "thank you for coming" and a T-shirt or at least gave permission to be included. On the minus side is that every nude performance is given cover music and no sound in the room like all the scenes in a finished film. More new girl/girl stuff would have been an improvement over just one from Sandy Wasko. I admit I skipped the interview portions. After seeing a preview ad, it did surprise me that this film did indeed exist and was not just a joke or an invitation for future auditions.

Surrender Cinema has been known for their extremely erotic, almost explicit sci-fi films. While they generally do very well at these (Femalien 1 & 2, Virtual Encounters), this particular entry seems to be just a rehash of old tape. Any number of girls -- some recognizable and others not -- are in this film in all stages of nudity. There are also several clips from other films which are outstanding, unless you've seen those other films. There are a number of solo nude scenes doing a number of things -- some playing basketball, others talking, still others playing with themselves. The only thing of value in this tape is the very last scene -- a short but erotic girl-girl scene with a very enthusiastic and enjoyable Sandy Wasko and a more subdued Tammie Hainum. Not highly recommended.

There is a much better unrated version available from the amazon.com auction shops. Unfortunately, Mia's appearance is very brief, over in the blink of an eye.

Almost certainly staged montage of women reading lines (very briefly) and getting naked (not very briefly) in front of a anonymous (and uncredited) panel - almost certainly including producer Charles Band. Thrown in are random scenes of Surrender Cinema's many movies (primarily lesbian scenes). Most of the women like "riding horses" (Hmmm); there is a Polish woman who seems to have no interest in acting despite going to an audition; a 'secret; camera that films actresses getting naked behind the screen...

Jacqueline Lovell (too made up but still beautiful) introduces a couple of her own movie scenes and talks in a 'sexy' Way to the camera (if you enjoy lesbian scenes the one with Lovell and Vanesa Taylor from Femalian is included and they are probably the best looking lesbian 'couple' ever). Weird excuse for a movie and aside from the obvious draw of naked women, a frankly dull and uninspiring experience.

The "film" consists of the audition tapes of the "Surrender girls" and some footage from previous films. It's not hot or even suitable for late night viewing on Cinemax. Only an adolescent boy could be interested in Auditions from Beyond. I recommend avoiding this one.
