The plot coagulates
lor_27 December 2016
In these four episodes (#4-7) of John Stagliano's vampire porn saga, things get a bit more interesting with the introduction of a key horny- nuns subplot. Depending upon one's taste for black humor or just good, old-fashioned nunsploitation content, the new characters garbed in white & black add zest to the overlong opus.

But before they show up we're mired in the outskirts of Budapest where with little care for continuity or credibility Buttman stages some sexy material based on his fine casting. Sandra Romain had given her all in Episode 3, but for Episodes 5 & 6 included here we have Euro blonde beauties Cayenne Klein and Mira Sunset stepping to the plate and impressing with uninhibited sexual flair. The task is to reanimate Rocco Siffredi as Vlad, leader of the Budapest-based vampire clan, before know-it-all journalist Samantha Bentley can get the recalcitrant local police to burn his staked-corpse and be done with the big-dicked fellow once and for all.

To keep the pot boiling, Rocco is saved, and a secret solution of cum is what cures him of being undead. Auteur Stagliano's knowledge of vampire lore is minimal, and his interest strictly prurient, so issues of dead, undead, alive, immortal, mortal and even vampire's reflections all get lost in the jumble that is "Voracious".

The five nuns, one Mother Superior (Rain DeGrey in a terrific and dominating acting performance) and four nymphos turned nuns in MS's halfway house (Chastity Lynn, Ashley Fires, Euro import Jessie Volt and Roxy Rae) are poorly integrated into the story, blame heaped on no-show character Brooklyn Lee who was supposed to be one of the nuns and supply crucial back-story to them.

Plunging forward without rhyme or reason, director Stagliano has Chastity escape from the jail-like (though interior and altar are just a lavatory set, plus dormitory for sex-at-night action) halfway house and get picked up on the street by vampire sex-slave Wolf Hudson, from Volume 1. Her comings and goings and even Wolf's make no sense, but they hook up with he being the porno live web-caster and Chastity volunteering duty as webcam girl.

Because of Lee's absence and a generally nonsensical approach to story and narrative, nun/nympho Chastity is interested in vampires for no good reason, and uses her webcam gig to issue a "calling all vampires" alert when Wolf only wants her to be selling masturbation sex. Sure enough, through the magic of the internet (and Stagliano's in-joke of a search engine stealing Google's old typeface logo and named "GooGoo" falling flat) Rocco as Vlad the Impaler logs in to watch Chastity masturbate and interact with her via texting. He mysteriously travels from Budapest to Frisco (somewhat magically, with continuity between scenes utterly garbled in Buttman's editing) setting up some violent action to come in Volumes 3 and 4.

Apart from talented sex performers doing their thing according to the high-energy dictates of the gonzo director, this is storytelling at its worst.
