PRIVATE FILM.

"I have seen the future of porn... and it's name is PRIVATE." to mutate Stephen King's famous quote about Clive Barker...

This film kicks supreme ass. I cannot say enough good things about it. Firstly, to avoid repeating myself over & over again, the technical level here is very high indeed in all the scenes. The lighting is always fantastic, the video quality is the most crisp I've seen since "New Wave Hookers 4", the make-up is great, the camera-work also was impressive and even the special FX (of which there are several) worked well. So, now I've got all that out the way, what actually happens that makes this so good??? Well, it's like this...

We begin with a scenic shot of a (very) green forest and a wild flowing river. The camera slowly pans round to reveal a boat hire store on the bank of the river and three very lovely young ladies (Melissa Hill, Anita Kelli and Tammi Ann (YUM!)) standing outside, waiting for their equally lovely companion, Laura Palmer, to finish paying for their boat. Cut to inside the shack where Laura is in the process of a tough negociation (sp) for the cost of the boat (READ : She's screwing the boat guy, Kyle Stone). I have to say that the only other time I've seen Ms Palmer was in Patrick Collins' "Bottom Dweller 33 1/3" where she was credited as "Petra" and was somewhat unimpressive to say the least. As it happens, it seems that it was just in that movie where she looked gross, plastic, sweaty and uninterested, as here she is FANTASTIQUE! She looks great and begins the scene with a passionate, wet BJ on Kyle, before breaking into some very well-lit missionary sex on the table. The best part of this is the sunlight coming through the windows of the shack which makes for a very artistic effect. We soon swap round to some doggie, during which we get lots of very nice full body shots and the impression that both partners are having fun (they smile a lot). The camera man is obviously European as we never once get a shot from a 90 degree angle, the camera is always tilted in an arty kind of way. But anyway, the best is still to come (we think). Laura gets up, Kyle lies down and they begin a Reverse-Cowgirl (YAY!). Unfortunately, he can't hold it in any longer and after about a minute he cums on her crotch, cutting that part of the scene a little too short. There's a lot of erotic post-blast playing with the fluids from Laura before we finally fade out.

And now the opening credits roll! No joke, that whole thing was just a pre-credits sequence! Not bad, 'ay? Anyhow, during the credits we get lots of shots of the girls paddling down the river in their boat while talking to each other about how good their holiday is going to be. It must be said here that ALL the ladies present look absolutely stunning in some fabulous make-up, and they all seem to have nice personalities too, especially Tammi Ann who can't stop smiling and laughing. Lovely girl... So, eventually they come on-shore (if that's the right phrase) and decide to do a little exploring around the rocks and forests that lie around the river. Tammi decides not to go and stays behind to have a bit of sun-bathing...

Cut now to four ugly guys, lead by Jon Dough, who have come out into the forests to do some hunting. One guy looks like Eddie Munster (I think this is Damian Michaels) and the other two are pretty nondescript except for the fact that one is blond and the other is dark. Anyhow, they haven't had much luck with their hunting in the last few days and are looking to head off home, soon. Then they hear a noise from the woods and Eddie Munster goes to investigate while Jon has a 'Nam flashback of some sort, obviously to signify that he's a veteran and he's been through a traumatic experience. It also signifies that the film has a budget, as there's lots of machine gun fire and cool stuff like that...

So, back to Tammi Ann . She's now lying in the blazing sun, atop a rock, completely naked and idly playing with herself. She does this for a short while in a brief but EXXXTREMLY erotic sequence. I can't get enough of this lady. It has to be said. She is absolutely amazing. She looks stunningly beautiful and even when only masturbating, she just seems to radiate great enthusiasm. Sadly, the mood is broken when Damian pops up, crossbow in hand, wanting to fuck her. She tells him to get lost, but he threatens her with the 'bow and forcing her into doing it with him, in a rather violent NC sequence. She still looks stunning and it's a VERY hot scene, my only objection being that he's FAR too rough with her. She does do a great job of looking hurt and unhappy tho', except at one point where she has to put her hands over her face to hide her smile. In the scene there's some oral, mish, doggie and eventually some extremly vicious anal pounding before he eventually cums (weakly) into her mouth. A good scene, sexually speaking, but not so good from a moral point-of-view. Luckily, when the scene finishes, Melissa Hill pops up in the background, grabs his crossbow and shoots him in the back, after which he bleeds and dies. (Obviously they don't care for the non-violent subject matter labelling at PRIVATE.) The girls run off.

Cut now to Jon and his two pals wondering where Damian (who turns out to be Jon's brother) has gone. Obviously they set out looking for him and Jon does a spot of chronic over-acting upon discovering the dead body. They find some ladies underwear on the ground and establish that it "must have been a bitch that killed him"! It seems that Jon's character has a sociopathic loathing of women because the one woman he loved got gunned down in 'Nam. So Jon sets the plan down that they hunt the girls, scare the girls, fuck the girls then kill the girls. The dark-haired bad guy seems all for this in a big way, but the other guy doesn't seem to like the idea.

Day turns into night and we get lots of shots of Jon and pals stalking the girls along the river-bank and lots of lovely views of the girls swimming naked in the river (Verrry nice). After a while, the girls wander off somewhere and the guys break into their camp, stealing their clothes and supplies. The girls return and are scared to death, knowing that someone has been here and someone is stalking them. Not to worry though... They make their way to an army outpost of some kind where the jolly French guard Yves Balliat is standing around with a gun in his hand. So, naturally you would think that having found civilisation the girls would alert the authorities or call for help in one way or another. Logical, no? But porn films aren't reknown for their logic so the plan is that Anita and Melissa "distract" the guard, while Tammi and Laura steal a bag of clothing (no weapons or anything).

Thus we are treated to Scene number 3. Yves is casually minding his own business when he is approached by two very attractive naked women. Obviously, they break into a three way screw. We begin with some fellatio from both women, then he does a standing-screw with Melissa for awhile as Anita just stands around looking pretty in the background. After a bit of this, we get the real good stuff with a GREAT reverse cowgirl on Anita, before returning to Melissa for some spooning and some doggie. Another hot scene, with both girls looking great, my only objection being that Anita seems wasted here. She does RC for a few minutes, but the rest of the time just stands around doing nothing. But anyway, the scene ends with an okay oral cumshot, with a bit going into both girls' mouths.

The girls, now dressed to the nines in tres cool army gear (very sexy), continue paddling upstream, trying to get away from the bad guys. Jon shoots a crossbow arrow into their boat and they get scared and speed off. The blond guy who's with Jon now makes it clear that he wants no part of this, thus he walks off. Now it's night again and the blond chap appears in the girls' camp. At first they are wary of him, but soon he makes it clear that he means them no harm and wants to help them, because he feels it would be sad to see such beautiful women get killed. So, in return for him finding out what Dough's next moves are, they all decide to screw him in a magnificent 5-way scene. I have to say that I admire the Hell outta this guy for managing this. I doubt I could have lasted more than a minute in his situation. We begin with all four ladies crawling all over him, sucking and licking whatever they can get their hands on, before the scene becomes a little more controlled. Anita and Laura do a GREAT double BJ on him, while Melissa and Tammi pair off for a SUPERB g/g scene in the background. Tammi seems to be having a lot of fun and that's a good thing, as she makes lots of noise and does much squirming. After a satisfactory amount of this, the girls all swap places, leaving Tammi to get doggied by the Guy, Melissa and Laura doing a hot 69 screw and Anita... well, she just... erm, well she just kinda stands around for awhile not really doing much, as she did in the last scene. Tammi's part is probably the best bit as she is VERY enthusiastic and seems almost uncontrollably into it. (She's also absolutely mind-numbingly beautiful, but I've said that enough times already.) I forget if there's anymore position changes (I got sick of taking notes) but it ends with an interesting four-way facial. The girls all kneel down in a semi-circle in front of his cock and he dribbles a bit into Melissa and Anita's mouths, before the camera pans away into the distance...

Now, returning (from the bathroom) to the plot, Jon now decides that today will be the day when he kills all the girls. Thus, the blond guy rushes off to the camp to warn them of it. They hatch a cunning plan.... Blondie (or whatever his name is) drags Laura and Anita into Jon's camp, claiming that he regained his senses and realized that raping and killing the girls was the best thing to do. Jon dances around like a lunatic for awhile, rejoycing in the fact that he's captured his prey, then it's dicks out all round for some serious screwing. Also, technically speaking, this is NC sex it's not nearly as violent or hard-to-endorse as the Tammi Ann rape scene earlier on. It is, however, blisteringly hot. We start with Anita giving the two anons a BJ, while Jon screws Laura doggie-style against a tree. Laura and Jon don't change position for awhile, but after a bit, Anita gets doggied by the blond guy while sucking the other guy's dick. All of a sudden, everyone swaps round and now Laura's with the two anons and Jon's pounding into Anita. The Laura part of this scene is amazing as she does a BRILLLLIANT reverse-cowgirl on the ground with one guy, while sucking the other guy off. Very hot indeed. She is rather enthusiastic and looks so good it's hard to believe that she's the same girl as in "Bottom Dweller 3". Jon squirts his (fairly voluminous) load into Anita's fashion-model face and the other two shoot off all over Laura's face and breasts. A fine scene to be sure...

As soon as everyone's cum, Tammi and Melissa pop up from the bushes toting the guy's crossbows and start shouting and screaming at them. Eventually, the guys run off, scared to death, as the girls explain that the hunted have now become the hunters.... Now we get some more 'Nam flashbacks from Jon, in which his oriental girlfriend is shot dead, just in case you haven't already got the idea that he's crazy as fuck. Further evidence of this is in order when he slits his own hand with a knife, for no reason at all except to show off some flashy special FX.

Dawn breaks. Jon and his boys are running across a wooden bridge that leads to the other side of the river, where there lies a village. They almost make it across but then Jon has a mental fit and starts shouting, allowing the girls to catch up with them. Tammi looks great with a crossbow and I found myself cheering out loud as she shot down Jon and his pal. However, Jon's not quite dead... He jumps up, pulls a pistol from his pocket and aims it at Melissa! OH NO! Luckily, the other three girls all open fire on him at once and shoot God only knows how many arrows into him. Talk about bloody! I'm amazed that this one got into the US uncut... Phewweee. Anyway, it's all over now and the girls wander off into the village, looking worn out from their adventure.

Cut to Melissa and the Blond Guy relaxing in the sauna. They mumble something about it taking a long time to get over this ordeal. Now would have been a perfect time to end the movie. However, Private obviously don't agree, as the two of them leave the sauna, enter the garden of some house and join in a HUGE orgy. Waste of tape... Reasons : 1) It's got nothing to do with the plot and doesn't fit in with the style of the rest of the film, 2) it's badly shot (aren't they all?) and 3) they even went as far as to put Kyle Stone AND Yves Balliat, two guys who had already played characters in the movie, into the action! Crazy. But to be fair, there are some very hot moments in there, but they all roll by very quickly and it's hard to tell who's who in the vast writhing of flesh. The highlights include a great piledriver screw on Laura P, a nice anal of Tammi Ann (aren't they all nice when she's involved?) and I think that Melissa may get analled here too, by Yves, but it's hard to tell. There's a few butt cum shots, an oral shot on some unknown and unattractive Euro-girl and a nice facial on Tammi Ann. The whole thing ends with a nice shot of Tammi showing her lovely eyes to the camera, before we cut away from the orgy into a forest again, where two new girls come along and ask if they can hire a boat.....

Overall, this movie is amazing. It's the first (and AFAIK only) porn interpretation of "The Most Dangerous Game", which is always a good story to base a movie on, it has a strong plot, some cracking action sequences, VCR-melting sex, beautiful women, some good acting (even by Dough) and, of course, Tammi Ann, who adds a certain something to ANY movie. I also got a kick of that Yves Balliat guy. He seems like quite a funny guy. He grins a lot and makes some silly noises during sex. Not to mention his yelling of "CUM! CUM! CUM!" in a French accent just before he shoots his load. Why can't the Americans have more male stars like him?

Anyhow, a must-see, must-rent, must-buy "A" class movie, recommended to anyone (except couples, it's a bit too violent and misogynistic) for a bit of fine filth. As it's the best film I've seen yet in 1996, I'll give it a very strong 3.85 on the Imperial Scale and stamp it with my whole-hearted recommendation. If you've not seen it, you should go out today and buy a copy.

Happy viewing!
