Jenna always dreamed of settling down with a husband and a family, but it seems like every boy she has ever loved has suffered a decidedly grim fate.

In this follow-up to the erotic thriller I Like to Play Games, Suzanne (Maria Ford) is now the head of an advertising agency, and in her spare time, she enjoys making the men who work for her jump through hoops (and then some). However, when she's approached by Dominick D'Aura (Bobby Johnston), the owner of a chain of upscale strip clubs who wants Suzanne to design a new campaign for him, she has finally met her match in the arena of sexual gamesmanship. However, Suzanne and Dominick's erotic play soon turns dangerous when extortion, blackmail, and violence creep into the mix. While I Like to Play Games Too features a different director and cast than the first film (in which Suzanne was played by Lisa Boyle), they were written by the same man, David Keith Miller. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

In the year 2018 A.D., Dr. John Denniel (Jeff Wincott) is a geneticist who is persuaded by Lt. Anna Pontaine (Maria Ford) to help with a government study of extraterrestrial viruses to be brought back to Earth on an upcoming space probe. John and Anna find their feelings are moving beyond professional courtesy, and they marry and are soon expecting a child. Their happiness is cut short when they receive word that the space probe has fallen out of orbit, crash landing in Africa while carrying a virus that could possibly kill billions of people. After Anna suffers a miscarriage, she becomes obsessively protective of a set of human embryos John has created, which have been engineered to be resistant to the virus; she wants to see them brought to term, while John wants to use them to create a vaccine that could save lives as the virus spreads. Meanwhile, John discovers the crash of the space probe was rigged by General Wallace (Stacy Keach), a psychotic racist who wants to wipe out humanity so he and his associates can repopulate the earth as a purely Aryan planet; John also finds Wallace has plans of his own for the embryos. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

Murder, lurid sex, and clowns drive this exploitation flick in which a psychotic loner terrorizes a strip club, "Zipper's Clown Palace," and takes everyone hostage at gun point. He then proceeds to force a weedy nerd to have sex with a stripper, while quizzing his frightened prisoners on trivia about the 1960s musical Gyspy. Duane Whitaker, who played Maynard in Pulp Fiction, wrote the script. ~ Jonathan Crow, All Movie Guide

Veteran "B"-movie producer Roger Corman ground out this entry in the Alien rip-off genre with this story of a six-person crew about to end a two-year research project in a complex that is buried five miles below the New Mexico desert. Unbeknownst to the other members of the team, one of them isn't quite what he appears to be... ~ Brian Gusse, All Movie Guide

Set in the roaring '20s amidst the chaotic jazz clubs of Chicago, gangster Johnny Varona embarks upon a forbidden love affair with Georgia, a beautiful black chanteuse. While racism plays a part in dooming the relationship, the most damning factor is Constanza, Johnny's bloodthirsty boss and future father-in-law, as Johnny is betrothed to his daughter. ~ Sandra Brennan, All Movie Guide

Angel of Destruction stars female martial-arts expert Maria Ford in the title role. In the tradition of the "B" westerns of Yore, Ford sets out to avenge her sister's murderer. She's essentially a woman of peace, though she leaves a lot of her opponents in pieces. There's gore galore before she corners the killers, and it is for this reason, rather than the frequent glimpses of the leading lady's bare torso, that the film is rated R. The saving grace of Angel of Destruction, for non-chopsocky fans, is the fact that Maria Ford actually has a soupcon of acting ability. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Based on horror author H.P. Lovecraft's writings, Necronomicon: Book of the Dead includes three short stories devoted to the deadly and mysterious "Necronomicon." When Lovecraft (played by Jeffrey Combs) manages to smuggle the legendary book out of a heavily guarded library, he quickly finds himself immersed in its passages, and three short stories take form as he sets off to record the information. In the first, Bruce Payne plays a disgruntled man whose inheritance of an old motel turns out to be more than he bargained for, as there are a nasty group of demons populating its basement. The second story follows a young reporter in search of a doctor who allegedly found the path to immortality, though, like the unwitting motel owner, he wouldn't realize how far in over his head he was until it became too late. The last story features Signy Coleman as a tough-as-nails police officer who descends into a strange set of catacombs in order to find her missing partner -- little does she know that an infamous serial killer is already living inside its subterranean depths. ~ Tracie Cooper, All Movie Guide

She lives. Deep in the bowels of the underworld Alyda the half-human demon waits to return to the earthy plane. This horror sequel chronicles her blood-soaked ascent. It all begins at Miskatonic University where several gruesome murders have occurred. Two college students, Randolph Carter and Eliot Damon Howard witnessed some of Alyda's handiwork in nearby Winthrop mansion where their friends, who went up there for a little illicit fun, were mysteriously slaughtered. The fleeing duo encounter the cops and paramedics. Though they claim some otherworldly monster is responsible, Sheriff Hatch pooh-poohs them, claiming an animal did the damage. Howard goes to the hospital and while there has a vision. He sees the original owner of the mansion who lived in the 1600s. The owner had been a warlock and it was he who awakened Alyda. As Winthrop fades, he warns Howard that he must stop her. Unfortunately, after his release, Howard has trouble finding people to believe him until he and Carter hook up with professor Harley Warren who uses a combination of ancient rituals and modern technology to take care of Alyda once and for all, but not before more blood is spilled and much horror ensues. Both this and its prequel were based on tales byH.P. Lovecraft. ~ Sandra Brennan, All Movie Guide
