Evil Eyes Review Directed by Nic Cramer. Released by Pleasure Productions in 1999. Gina Ryder plays a photographer who has visions of her models having sexual experiences. She seeks help from a<b> therapist </font></b>(played by Eric Price); however, her visions begin to include him and she ends up having sex with him, too. Apparently, her condition is without a cure, to which her doctor suggests, "I think maybe your evil eyes are a blessing." Story Grade: D. This movie was shot on film. Medium Grade: A. A mix of actual locations and constructed sets were used in this production. The photo shoot set with Evan Stone, Pat Myne, and Alexandra nice was rather sparse, but was stylish. The dungeon-esque scene with gargoyles and whatnot was unconvincing. Set Design Grade: C. The sexual performances were energetic and the performers seemed enthusiastic. Condoms were used in most scenes, although it appeared that Evan Stone and Pat Myne did not use them for vaginal intercourse with Alexandra Nice. A condom was worn by Pat Myne for the anal segment of the scene. (Condom use has no bearing on the grade.) Cheyenne Silver looked at and addressed the camera during her scene with Chris Cannon, which could have been played off as her addressing Gina Ryder during one of her fantasies; however, it seemed that she was addressing a male viewer rather than a female one. Gina Ryder also looked at the camera during her sex scenes which didn't make sense. Sexual Performances Grade: B. Given the lack of plot, there wasn't much acting to be done. Gina Ryder's line deliveries seemed genuine. Eric Price didn't seem like a<b> therapist. </font></b>Acting Grade: B-. The scene with the hooded men was rather bizarre. T.J. Hart's wardrobe was also strange. The see-through jacket that Gina Ryder wore during T.J. Hart's scene with Eric Price looked great, but may not have been appropriate for the character if the scene took place in reality. Wardrobe/Make-up Grade: B-. Lighting was noticeably adjusted in scenes three and four which was distracting. Otherwise, scenes were well lit. Lighting Grade: B. The score was very faint in a number of scenes but dialogue was clear. Sound quality was good and consistent throughout. Sound Grade: A-. There were a few continuity errors. During the T.J. Hart/Eric Price scene, her breasts were out, then were covered a bit later. Also Gina Ryder's wardrobe changed from sex scene with Eric Price to her brief scene with him immediately preceding it. Shadows of crew members were distinguishable in scenes two and three. Off-screen direction was heard briefly during scene six. Directing Grade: C+. The look of this film is visually appealing. Given that it was shot on film shows that effort was made to make an artistic production. Another stylish element was the fact that it began in black and white with the Inari Vachs/Eric Price scene in which Inari appeared to be Marilyn Monroe while Eric Price was billed as "Bogart." It should also be noted that "In fond memory of Gene Siskel" is listed in the end credits. Artistic Merit Grade: A-. OVERALL GRADE: B-. |
