Working in a Sex Monastery: "The Taunting"

Gram Ponante — Tue, 28 Oct 2008 16:00:00 EDT

It's unclear why Lystra, an underfed little naked ghost, is pursuing a couple through a monastery, all the while showing them images of bondage coitus. If it's a flashback, we don't see what the problem was. Did she die of exposure? Regardless, "The Taunting" is a very tasty - and often genuinely creepy - porn movie, that doesn't so much taunt as deliver.

The Taunting

Slutty goth and/or emo college students with no respect for the dead break into a monastery and its adjacent cemetery, stirring up a creepy naked ghost. But is it a good creepy naked ghost or a bad creepy naked ghost?

Director/co-writer Zenova Braeden and producer/co-writer Bob Johnson put together an atmospheric and at times genuinely spooky movie that has no lack of fleshy, fetishy sex throughout. One of the best things that can be said about a movie is, "Well I suppose it's plausible..." And this one is!

As the interlopers make their way through the building, they are tailed by Lystra, channeling every recent Japanese horror spirit in her erratic movements, uncombed hair, and her tendency to pop up in unexpected places.

Lystra as "The Ghost" seems to infect her prey with visions of all manner of BDSM sex until the couple, too, fall prey to it. It isn't made entirely clear why the ghost has this mission, but ours is not to question a good thing. So Yes, Gilligan, she is a good, good ghost.

Porn Of The (Posthumous) Moment: Wicked's "Supernatural"

Gram Ponante — Wed, 21 Mar 2007 22:02:23 EDT

Wicked director Michael Raven last year explored the many logical crossovers between porn and extraterrestrials in "The Visitors", and with "Supernatural" brings the erotica a little closer to home: the spirit world. Rule One of Pornography is Fuck What You Know.

After the death of her husband, Kirsten Price is beset upon by paranormal weirdness. But "when apparitions begin to appear in her bedroom, she decides she's had enough." (We don't know why, because appear is what apparitions do.) We don't know what Price does to battle the ghosts, but we have a feeling she sexes her way out. - GP
