Predator II: The Return

Elements of kink and violence prevail over Stormy Daniels' usually romantic nature in this series that evidently made a big splash a decade ago but is somewhat forgotten now.

With excellent design work and set decoration, Stormy inhabits demented fantasy world in which she collects beautiful women for sex and then stores them like life-size dolls. The concept works because she is so attractive and the inherent violence takes a back seat to Sapphic sex.

Hand-picked cast puts a great deal of energy into their performances, and I enjoyed the casting against type, for example, making Kelly Wells one of the heroines rather than a bad guy. It's a treat to see Nikita Denise in comeback mode as an uninhibited sub to Stormy, after taking a 3-year layoff from the porn wars.

Much like the first movie, this one claims to have a certain darkness to it. Predator 2 pulled it off better but still wasn't quite there. I have a real hard time taking Stormy Daniels seriously as a psychopath, she seems way to approachable. The movie didn't go out of it's way to make her seem as crazy as was implied on the DVD case. Outside of that, the movie is still worth watching and has many points that make up for the lack of being the erotic thriller it claims to be. The movie also goes through pains to leave things open for a sequel, which was just filmed (Sept 2008). Both written and directed by Stormy Daniels, Predator 2 is an all girl feature that will make fans of Stormy Daniels and those into girl on girl action very happy.
