The Erotic Mirror

Summary: What were they thinking?
Review: The basic plot of this Seduction Cinema lesbian fest is this. Amy (Laurie Wallace) buys a mirror at an antique store. When she stands in front of the mirror she gets really horny. She shows the mirror to other women and they get horny too. It's sufficient to string together a bunch of softcore female masturbation and lesbian scenes.

There are five sex scenes in the movie: Laurie solo. Laurie with her doctor friend (A.J. Kahn). Laurie with her two former high school friends (Misty Mundea and Esmerelda DellaRocco). Laurie, the high school friends, and some other woman. And finally a six girl orgy. Oh, and in all of those scenes, the woman in the mirror (Darian Cane) makes some appearances. With one exception that I'll get to later, the women are all attractive to varying degrees. Laurie is a knockout. Esmerelda was decent and everyone else fell somewhere in between.

This could have been really good, but it doesn't get above okay for three reasons. First, it's slow. This thing runs for two hours, and you're twenty-five minutes in before you even get to see any female nudity. Second, the sex scenes weren't always filmed well. There's some good stuff, but a lot of the time, they drag. And third, there was Mistress Rhiannon. She is this super-deformed, huge breasted (I'm talking 60 or 70 inches here) freak with huge fish lips to boot. Let me make myself clear. She is gross!!! Fortunately she is only in one scene and doesn't have sex with anyone.

It's a shame. With the exception of mutant girl, this had a good looking cast. If the sex scenes had been filmed better, and about thirty minutes of the boring stuff was cut, this would have been a classic. As it is now, I'd only recommend this to diehard fans of Laurie Wallace.

Summary: Good Times!
Review: The Erotic Mirror is one of the best Seduction Cinema movies so far. It's got a big cast, a good, original plot, and it's well-fleshed out (it's like 2 hours long!!).

Laurie Wallace plays Amy, a young woman who takes a vacation with her boyfriend Bill (Major Dodge) to her hometown to get away from "the city" for a while. While visiting a quaint antique shop, she finds a strange mirror and goads her man into buying it for her. Once she gets it home she discovers Darian Caine is trapped inside it and makes whoever looks into the mirror do "naughty" things. Being the inquisitive gal that she is, she takes it to her old friend (A.J. Khan) who just happens to be a doctor (see, cuz she wants the mirror examined). After discovering what happens when looking into the mirror, the doctor lady decides that since she's a "professional" she should keep the mirror for further examination (frankly, I think she needs to examine her nurse, played by the odd Mistress Rhiannon, who looks like a melted piece of plastic with HUGE...uh..."dirty pillows"). Amy nixes the doctor's "mirror exam,", and hauls the mirror back out to her car. Lots of other mysterious things happen in the movie, but to reveal them would be to spoil the fun. Misty Mundae, Jade DuBoir, and Ruby LaRocca are all featured in the film, and Debbie Rochon even makes a cameo appearance.

This movie is directed by Pete Jacelone, who also directed the wild and crazy Psycho Sisters, a much different film. Interestingly, viewers of both films may notice the the building used as the Sperm Bank in Psycho Sisters is the same one used in the Erotic Mirror as A.J. Khan's Immediate Care Clinic. Both films also feature an impatient guy with both hands wrapped up being annoying in the waiting room. Just a useless tidbit of information.

The DVD of THE EROTIC MIRROR features THREE sets of behind-the-scenes hijinks, a "Talent Rehearsal Session" which basically is just Laurie Wallace and Major Dodge with the director, rehearsing the scene where the couple finds the mirror. Also included are trailers of other Seduction Cinema films available on DVD.

**HIGHLY RECOMMENDED**

Summary: from Fringe Video Fanzine Issue #005
Review: When the movie started with two young lovers (Amy & Bill) on a vacation groping each other in hopes of hurrying home for a session of love making, I was happy to see that Seduction Cinema has finally gotten away from the tame soft-core lesbian formula and has produced something couples can watch together. Not the case... Before heading home Amy buys a strange mirror from an antique dealer, only to "...immediately be overcome by a deep inner desire to caress and explore her luscious body in ways she never thought possible..." Upon reaching her climax, a strange woman appears in the mirror, who Amy later finds out is a former whorehouse madame [played by: Darian Caine / Mistress Frankenstein (2000); Gladiator Eroticvs (2001)] trapped in the old mirror. Amy later figures out that the more friends that gather for girl on girl adventures in front of the mirror the stronger the image of the madame appears. Meanwhile poor Bill gets in on none of this action, and gets very drunk. I don't blame him... Ending in a orgy of lesbian ecstasy, the love making urges help the madame escape only to trap others inside the mirror in a Twilight Zone ending. Besides the well lit sets and the horror ending the film is nothing different than the other Seduction Cinema product. Soft-core naked groppings, with lovely lesbians. They are a company that make their actress feel comfortable, however I think its time for some originality, and new directions in product. The highlight of the disc is the short appearance of Mistress Rhiannon. She is nothing short of a freakshow, with extra, extra, extra large breasts, and Mick Jager lips to match. Her videos consist of Karate, Pantyhose, Smoking, Bug Crushing, and foot fetish. She is very weird and out of place in a movie like this.
