An erotic thriller where vice is not a sin.
-
The film continues the genre’s downward spiral into vanilla softcore porno. There is plenty of sex on display, but little of it is genuinely sexy. … None of the attempts at generating suspense prove to be successful really, and the film seems more concerned with luridly detailing “shocking” sexual acts than focusing on the mystery elements.
