Betsy Rue (My Bloody Valentine) plays Ashley Saint, a top tier porn star who has done every series under the website banner except for the Lucky Bastard portion. Her jackass boss Mike (played by movie everyman Don McManus) finally talks her into it and they end up selecting Dave G. After meeting Dave, its heavily hinted at that hes not playing with a full deck of cards and has some strange sensitivity issues. When he cant perform under pressure, they fire him and he snaps, exacting revenge on the crew.
That plot synopsis is actually a lot more exciting than the actual movie is. It starts with a poorly acted highly uncomfortable staged rape scene that really just gives you an idea of the pace this movie is setting. Its easy to call the bluff on the fake rape and for one moment, you think that the movie is going to poke fun at porn by highlighting the awful acting and terrible writing but the film kicks in and it quickly reveals that the entire film is awfully acted and terribly written.
This is truly a highlight of bad found footage. Actually, the worst found footage. It does manage to have a higher quality than most films of its genre but it unfortunately doesnt do anything to lessen the pain of viewing it. Its forty minutes before anything remotely thrilling happens, and I use that term very lightly. The most action that occurs is the plethora of softcore porn that peppers itself throughout and thats not even very fun or entertaining to watch. Chris Wylde (The Revenant) has a few one liners that bring out a chuckle or two but other than that the writing falls completely flat. Robert Nathan co-wrote and directed the movie and it literally seems impossible considering he is Emmy nominated and Peabody winning for his work in television. Despite his impressive small screen record, he brings nothing over with him to this project that resembles the talent he boasts otherwise.
Im an optimistic person. I generally look for the silver lining. This movie has none. I take that back. This is a great movie to watch at your house and use to have your own MST3K night with. Its full of bad and over acting, cardboard characters, pacing problems, editing issues and the most boring sex and murder scenes in the last decade. Somehow, Nathan and crew have created the most boring horror and porno ever made.
