Steven Sayadian Rules!
6 December 2009 | by (United States) – See all my reviews

Steven Sayadian co-wrote this film and two others with Jerry Stahl, who was the subject of a Ben Stiller film called Permanent Midnight. The other two films are the X-rated gems entitled "Cafe Flesh" and "Night Dreams." The latter is considered one of the great adult films ever made and for good reason...it's truly amazing! If you liked Caligari you should really check out Night Dreams: yes it is XXX but the style is all surreal and dark with a fair dose of bizarre comedy. Also part of the soundtrack is from Wall of Voodoo! (Their version of Ring of Fire is in one very sexy sequence). Cafe Flesh is less surreal but I highly recommend it for the science fictional-porn plot alone. www.SexyHorrors.com
