Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This DVD was the toughest I have ever reviewed. What has made this difficult is as is common Something Weird throw in so much stuff you almost have to grade them higher for providing so much extra content. There are 3 movies contained, the first "one Shocking Moment" gets a 10 out of 10 for reasons discussed later. Both The Abnormal Female & Maidens of Fetish Street both score a 0 out of 10, they are unwatchable ( in my opinion). Contained on the DVD as well are sexy Trailers for other Exploitation type fare & almost a lobby card format ( minus the pictures)with titles & content for other Shocktaculars from the early 60's. The 2 movies above that didn't make the cut were lacking any kind of direction, cohesive story, you name it. When these two hit the wall nothing stuck, that's it. "one shocking Moment " on the other hand is excellent. It rings very true, the story is well told the cast is solid & it is very kinky & yet there is a seemingly real perception as you watch this that this could happen & has happened. Briefly, a young woman & her husband move to the big city where opporitunity knocks. Yet this move brings out the worst in both of them. He is a womanizer & she is naive & unaware of how events are unfolding. Now enter Tanya ( played by Verne Martine)a nightclub owner who is very comfortable in a Dom/Lesbian persona & who provides the kinky fireworks that elevates this feature. As well though tough as nails she proves to be the only magnet that might draw this couple back together. Hero or villain her performance & believability is off the chart. So in summary I can recommend only one of three features but it is that good, the additional content for me makes it worth 4 stars.
I will throw in this disclaimer, the content of this DVD is an aquired taste, it is often amateurish & lightyears away from mainstream fare, just so you know.
