Off Limits (1998)
* (out of 4)
Director Joe D'Amato will always be remembered for his horror films like BEYOND THE DARKNESS and ANTROPOPHAGUS as well as his long running Emanuelle series with Laura Gamser. After the Italian horror market dried up, D'Amato had a comeback with the softcore ELEVEN DAYS ELEVEN NIGHTS, which eventually led to the director doing porn titles. The director had previously mixed sex and horror in such titles as PORNO HOLOCAUST and EROTIC NIGHS OF THE LIVING DEAD but those films were a long way off from his later day porn.
NOTHING OFF LIMITS would have been a better title for this hardcore flick from Joe D'Amato. This time out we're set inside a prison of some sort where the men and woman are asked to have sex to bring down their stress. I plan on going through all of D'Amato's work and that includes this hardcore movies. Every once in a while I come across one where it seems the director is interested but this isn't one of them. The story is bland, the sex boring and everything else is just by the numbers.
