Lustful Addiction

Lustful Addiction (2003)

** (out of 4)

Remake of Nick Phillips' 1969 film, although you wouldn't know it as his name is not mentioned anywhere in the credits as Mundae gets credit for writing and coming up with the idea. This remake is the same as the original as a drugged up hooker (Ruby LaRocca) will do anything to get her fix and that includes screwing her dealer. She eventually meets up with a free spirited young lady (Misty Mundae) and the two hit it off but the drugs might come back to hurt them. Whereas the original film tried to be both erotic and tell a serious story, this one here pretty much goes for the erotic nature and that includes the meeting between LaRocca and Mundae, which lasts over thirty-minutes of the seventy-three-minute running time. This entire sequence shows the two women taking drugs and having sex and I must admit that Mundae handles the sequence very well. The erotic scenes are highly erotic and the drug natured fit the two are on comes off quite well. The film really doesn't try to tell any story and instead just wants to be sexy and as an erotic film it works. The performances are range from decent to poor and as in the original film this one here doesn't have any spoken dialogue but instead just narration. LaRocca doesn't look at good as the woman in the original but that somewhat helps the film as her physical look matches what you'd expect someone like this would look like. This film certainly isn't going to appeal to everyone and I'm certainly not an expert on these recent softcore films but I felt this one did the job it set out to do.
