Riley Reid Shines in Adam & Eve Movie Thriller
Wednesday, January 9th, 2019
(Hollywood, CA) Riley Reid has been named BEST ACTRESS by XCritic.com for her acting performance in The Cursed XXX. The mega-superstar played the twisted and creepy role of Abigail in the Will Ryder paranormal thriller from Adam & Eve Pictures and has wowed critics with a performance completely unique from anything she has ever attempted. Next up is the XBiz Awards and AVN Awards where the movie is up for a combined twenty one trophies including Feature Movie of the Year, Best Screenplay and Best Action Thriller.
Art Koch of NightMoves said, “It is a Riley Reid you have never seen before. She outdoes herself. A superb performance and production in every way.”
“An incredible acting job by Riley Reid and at times, I got scared watching this movie,” wrote Apache Warrior of XCritic.com in his review.
The movie’s director had keen insight into the preparation the actress went through in an effort to deliver her unique performance..
“I asked her to eat two raw eggs and six ounces of freshly killed deer venison each morning before sunrise in order to move out of her normal acting rhythm,” stated writer/director Will Ryder “She told me to “fuck off”, but sometimes just the mere suggestion is enough to get the best out of these performers.”
“Just hand her the Best Actress awards now, no need to wait around,” stated XCritic.com’s adult movie reviewer Cyber5.
“Sometimes it’s a good thing to step out of your zone and tackle a role that is nothing like what people think you’re all about or what they’re used to seeing and Riley absolutely nailed my demented vision for this disturbed character with a fantastic, chilling performance,” Ryder remarked.
After a fire destroys a women’s shelter killing all but one, the sexy dark truth about a cursed Hollywood cam-house is uncovered when a dead girl is found floating in the pool. Scared, beautiful cam girls become fearfully obsessed with new resident Abigail (Riley Reid) and when demonic spirits and paranormal activity invade the mansion, even the LAPD is baffled at finding the killer in a sexy who-dunnit mystery.
“I’m really honored to win the XCritic Best Actress award because this movie is really different from anything I’ve even done. Will Ryder is amazing but I think he might be losing his mind just a little bit because this movie is a long way from those cute, happy, funny movies he’s known for.” Reid said.
Riley Reid previously took home some trophies when The Cursed XXX was named First Choice Winner at the NightMoves Awards and also when she teamed up with Ryder and Adam & Eve in the light-hearted award-winning musical Grease XXX which also earned the 2014 XBiz, XRCO and AVN trophies for best parody.
The Cursed XXX is nothing like Grease and at times is downright terrifying and stars an all-star cast. Joining Riley Reid is Kat Dior, Sarah Vandella, Misty Stone, Holly Hendrix, Nia Nacci, Chloe Scott, Victoria June, Maya Bijou, Ziggy Star, Lucky Starr and Veronica Valentine. The men are Brad Armstrong, Seth Gamble, Chad White, Mike Mancini, Frank Bukkwyd, Connor Kennedy and James Bartholet.
“It is the best adult horror/suspense movie in years. Great job,” stated Roger Pipe on the Rogreviews website.
“I absolutely love Riley as she’s a complete professional, a director’s dream and she performs sex as though it were her final chance ever which sadly for some of us, is an all-too-real possibility but not for her. She’s just a talented actress”, Ryder concluded.
The Cursed XXX is among the most heavily nominated movies of the year and is available from Adam & Eve Pictures. A safe for work trailer for The Cursed XXX can be viewed here https://youtu.be/wsiCmaMKl9E
