Hand of Pleasure
1971
Brainscan's
comments:
Grindhouse movies are like
crab cakes: the best ones
have only enough other
stuff to hold together the
main, tasty
ingredient. And for
grindhouse movies the main
ingredient is nekkid
babes. In that
context, The Hand of
Pleasure is a good movie
of its sort. The
plot, if we might call it
that, consists of very
little more than briefly
introducing a character or
a situation before someone
gal, somehow gets her
clothes off. In a
bit more than an hour's
running time, Hand gives
us a seven-minute-long
stripper performance (by
the bovine Roxanne Brewer)
and five lengthy
sport-humping scenes by
Maria Arnold, Wendy Winder
and Terri Johnson.
Maria and Wendy do guys -
they wind up killing two
out of three by sucking
the precious bodily fluids
right out of them - and
they do gals (they do
Terri). The guy they
fail to kill is Terri's
beau and, out of revenge
or sheer survival
instinct, he fucks them
into a coma, or to death -
the movie is not so clear
on this point.
Terri's character is sort
of, kind of odd, in that
she starts out a
professional sex worker
but winds up (very
quickly) romantically
attached to her fella,
which I suppose is as
likely as winning the
lottery or getting eaten
by a grizzly bear and a
regular bear on the same
day. No
matter. There is T
and there is A and there
is B and nothing else that
happens gets in the
way. I should add
that Terri and the guy
playing her boyfriend
clearly did the nasty for
realsies at least
once. She's on top,
grabs his johnson and
positions the little fella
so that in it goes.
No one bothered to edit it
or hide it so you got to
figure it was a calculated
maneuver. BTW, the
title is the name of a
character who wears a mask
and likes to listen in as
Maria and Wendy drain guys
of the will to live; he
does so by way of a
listening device the NSA
has probably tried out a
time or two.

The
Sacred
(2012)
The
Sacred is a horror
thriller about
Jessie (Heather
Roop), a horror
writer (is there
any other kind in
a horror movie)
who is struggling
to write her
second novel. When
her Aunt dies and
leaves her the
rural cabin she
lived in, Jessie
decides to use it
to get some alone
time and some
inspiration for
her novel. But
from the moment
she arrives in
town, once it is
recognised where
she is going, the
townsfolk avoid
her like she has
the plague, which
might be better
than what's about
to happen. After
cleaning up the
cabin, a young
girl named Leah
comes along and
befriends Jessie
and claims
ownership of a
creepy doll that
found in the
cabin. At the same
time, weird things
begins to happen
in the cabin,
including various
visions and it
soon becomes
apparent that the
cabin is haunted
and it could be
because of some
exorcism that
occurred in the
cabin years ago.
When her boyfriend
Brian (Jordan
Belfi) joins her
at the cabin along
with his brother
and girlfriend,
that when things
turn deadly.
Stock standard
cheap frightfest
that is mildly
sleazy with some
gratuitous nudity
and a welcome but
obviously tacked
on
girl-on-girl-on-girl
action, nothing to
write home about,
but the sleaze
helps get through
this pretty
forgettable movie.
