Erotic Zones: The Movie is a 1985 anthology of erotic tales with a supernatural twist, directed by the late Paul Vatelli, a master of the adult film during the Golden Age of Porn. The movie promises to take viewers on a journey to "another dimension" of "hot sex," and it certainly delivers on that promise!
The film is structured as a series of vignettes, each with its own unique story and characters. One of the standout segments features Gina Carrera as a bereaved granddaughter who encounters the ghost of her grandmother, a madam of a brothel. Carrera's scene is described as stunning, with great close-ups and an intriguing wardrobe. The sound issues, with sync problems in the first 17 minutes, are a minor distraction, but the scene itself is a sizzling way to kick off the movie.
Another segment follows Jamie Gillis, bored with his marriage, who finds himself transported back in time to a lover in the 1950s. Gillis's scene is a fun parody, with some hammy acting and fun composite effects.
But it's Taija Rae who steals the show. Her scenes are passionate, sexy display that leaves nothing to the imagination. With her stunning body and explicit enthusiasm, she embodies the erotic and spooky tone of the film. As she writhes with desire, her scene is a true showcase of the art of adult entertainment, a perfect blend of storytelling and raw, uninhibited sexuality.
The movie also features Herschel Savage, who plays a man pining for a lost love, finding comfort in the arms of two new partners. This segment adds a layer of emotional depth to the film, showcasing the potential for heart within the erotic genre.
Erotic Zones: The Movie is a fun, sexy ride that embraces its B-movie status. While the production values may vary, and the sound issues are notable, the film is well-paced, with a good balance of story and erotic content. It's a shame there aren't more reviews for this hidden gem of the adult film world.
