sex and the Hollyridge Strings

[frpeters01 · 4/10 · 29 August 2006]

Well, this film isn't for everyone. It is in my possession because it stars one of my favorite sexploitation actors, Malta. It also stars Uschi Digart as her partner in crime. The two are hookers and as the film begins they are entertaining two "monks" in hooded robes. One of them provides some sort of chalice which contains a liquid. He dunks a dildo in it and proceeds to massage our girls upper bodies with it. These guys are twisted and the one with the massager definitely needs some dental work. All of the sex is this film is of the soft core variety, seeing as it was produced around 1970. After their monks are satisfied it's home for the girls, where they discuss their exploits and await the arrival of a new trainee. They have to break this girl in and prepare her for a life of prostitution. That new girl is played by Terry Johnson, another sexploitation starlet from that era. Before her arrival however Uschi and Malta, aka Neola Graf, get down to some girl/girl action on the living room floor. The picture quality on my print, which I have in VHS and DVD is between poor and fair. An interesting side here is the soundtrack, which laughably switches like clockwork between some hard driving organ/guitar rock and, of all things selections from the Hollyridge Strings. For those unbeknownst, the Hollyridge Strings produced musak sounding versions of Beatle tunes and, I suppose other rock standards amongst other things. I couldn't believe hearing them as background to some of the perverse things I was seeing on the screen. Terry arrives and the two decide to introduce her to their crazy monk friends. What follows is more of the same. To be into this film, you would have to be into the leading ladies,Uschi Digart and Malta, who have appeared together in other features. Either that or you would have to be an awfully big fan of the Hollyridge Strings. some definitely unintentional laughs here.

hail satan...not

This is a rather lame production involving two hookers who also indulge in strange sex with 2 guys in monks robes. Strange because the ritual begins with the women being rubbed with a dildo. Strange because the two women, who are hookers, seem to be indulging in this for kicks, not money. The fact that large breasted Uschi & Malta are the two hookers helps slightly. Malta is quite erotic; even if she is 5 lbs overweight the weight is mainly in her breasts so it's okay. Barren plot, low production values and bizarre photography make for a unpleasant movie experience unless you are the sort who likes anything that stars Uschi & Malta.

Satantric Rites...

[DBlackthorne · 9/10 · 16 February 2008]

The remarkably Satantric opening scene displays robed figures filing in to a church containing an ankh-like insignia on the wall, where the Phallus is risen forth to the congregants as if a "monstrance", dipping it into a chalice, and anointing its contents upon two female initiates, who writhe in carnal ecstasy, are brought to orgasm, whom are thoroughly and passionately enjoyed After seducing a nubile acolyte, these Satantric "Nuns" bring her forth into the Chambers of Lust where during this veritable Satantric Mass, is initiated into the pleasures of the flesh, collectively enjoyed by the congregants upon The Altar, until all find release.

During a discussion between the girls, they affirm the benefits of these healthy and naturally indulgent psychodramatic practices, with the neophyte stating that she had no idea that there were so many positions... Herein there are no sacrifices, no gore, no death or misery, just the life-affirming delights of the earth, promoting overall success, strength of character and ego. A great viewing pleasure.
