This empty erotic thriller wastes its gorgeous cast with a skimpy and unbelievable screenplay by director Ellyn Michaels. The paltry plot concerns Rebecca Hensley (Amy Rochelle), heiress to a prosperous lingerie catalog, and her philandering husband Jonathan (Michael Baci), who sleeps with all of the models. Fashion editor Gwen (Lauren Hays), who is also sleeping with Jonathan, convinces Rebecca to help her poison him and dump his body in a ravine. The usual double-crosses and plot twists ensue, while Rebecca has strange nightmares (most involving sex) and locks a would-be hitman (Christopher Bennett) in her basement as a personal stud. By the end of the film, Michaels abandons credibility altogether, throwing in sex scenes willy-nilly, staging catfights in a swimming pool, and asking the audience to believe that mannish police detective Elaine (Brenda Stone) began her career as a lingerie model. Other than the copious attractive skin on display, including Rochelle and pretty Avalon Anders as a prospective cover model, the film is eminently forgettable, even in the steamy unrated version. ~ Robert Firsching, All Movie Guide

Exploitation king Fred Olen Ray was well entrenched in his "Erotic Thriller" phase (typified by films like Inner Sanctum) when he turned out this oddball mix of salacious schemes and demonic possession. When creatively blocked horror writer Howard (Ted Prior) buys an oversized jar containing a silly-looking pickled monster from a tiny shop in Chinatown, he quickly falls under the thing's supernatural influence. Not only can he churn out reams of manuscript pages like never before, he also becomes more sexually aggressive -- a change which troubles his reserved wife Peggy (statuesque Sandahl Bergman), particularly after the arrival of sexy blonde live-in secretary Carol (Shannon Tweed, whose presence had become ubiquitous in films of this kind). The plot thickens when we learn that Carol is also conspiring with her partner Murray (Frank Sivero), Howard's greedy agent, to steal his manuscript. Carol soon becomes the puppet of the thing in the jar as well, playing violent sexual games with the couple, terrorizing Peggy at every turn, and ultimately turning on Murray -- leading to a hyper-violent climax which has nearly every character blasting away at his/her co-conspirator with automatic weaponry. Despite the heftier financial backing of Columbia Home Video, this is still exploitation in the classic Ray tradition, filled with the usual bucketloads of nudity and kinky sex, and featuring cameos from such familiar B-movie faces as Ray Silva and Turhan Bey, as well as Kato Kaelin as a busboy in the restaurant scene with Bey. ~ Cavett Binion, All Movie Guide

The man with the granite mug (Ray Sharkey) appears as Stoneface, a crook who has stashed his ill-gotten loot in the trunk of a Rolls-Royce which two unsuspecting guys have "borrowed" from one of their uncles. The fellows, of course, are unaware that there is loot in their car trunk; they're on their way to a modeling contest where one guy's girlfriend is a hot model. The two bozos soon get involved in an all-out chase when Stoneface wants his dough back. ~ All Movie Guide
