Storyline

Terence Stamp hosts a half-hour show, introducing the evening's story, with a passing nod to the eponymous cult film. The stories are steamy, erotic versions of Tales From The Dark Side and the like, with a touch of class, dealing as they do with power, sex, lust and driving urges. The opening tale is of a mysterious nightclub performer who can pass swords clean through her body. Loaned out by her agent to a likely punter, she becomes passionately involved with him, falls in love, and loses her ability - with dire consequences the next night...

Horrible, often truly discusting, a true masterpiece!
2 May 2001 | by (Stockholm, Sweden) – See all my reviews

With a chocking story and a tastefull combination of erotism and horror they've created something never seen before.

The story might not be the best, the actors might be poor, the the idéa is truly good, and the show is always enjoyable! What they show is not only fantasy, but sometimes an image of our darkest parts, which makes us tremble with excitement as we watch.

Watching this is like looking deep into the eyes of a coldblooded murderer, the reflections of our world is not as they should be, it's charming but far out of our control.

I'll not say this is the best thing I've ever seen, but it's certainly one of the things which has made me think the most.
