Porn filmmaker Harry Sparks apparently never got the memo concerning what current Adult Entertainment fans want to see. His sci-fi thriller "The Seventh Kind" features four boring XXX scenes that are poorly photographed -you can't even see what's going on in a couple of them, all playing second fiddle to a lousy, flashback-ridden screenplay about a government coverup of UFO abductions. Porn audiences will likely fast-forward through the dialog scenes and be mighty disappointed with the unappealing sex footage.
Title refers to UFO terminology: whereas Spielberg's hit film dealt with alien encounters of the Third Kind, this movie purports to cover encounters of the Seventh Kind, concerning alien abductions.
Weak opening of the film has Dante Colle watching a movie on tv, with a corny "Lovers Lane" style makeout session in a car having Lucky Fate and Madi Collins making love in their car -no drive-in movie theater shown but that would have helped the scene. It's poorly photographed, aloof (in a Brechtian distancing technique that Sparks uses in the subsequent sex scenes as well, ruining them for the horny viewer). Going to film school as many pornographers (i.e., failed "real" would-be filmmakers) have done is not necessarily a great idea. The film within a film has a bright light in the sky frightening Madi & Lucky after his cum shot, and similarly a bright light in the sky seemingly announces Colle getting abducted by aliens in real life.' His wife Ana Foxxx was blissfully unaware, in a bubble bath by candlelight when Colle disappeared, and the rest of the film is flashbacks and flashbacks within flashbacks as she researches UFOs and Alien Abductions while government agent Shawn Alff interrogates her as part of a seeming government coverup.
Liv Revamped is one of the abductees that Ana investigates; she's supposedly set free by the aliens, is pregnant and commits suicide, getting rid of the alien baby-to-be in the process. Another embedded flashback shows her having an interracial threesome with John Legendary and Athena Faris, or is it an interspecies threesome? Most interesting plot element (and timely one) is poorly handled: Liv was living in a state that had recently banned abortions, so she traveled out of the state to get one but changed her mind, later dying in a car crash, fetus also dead. Was this part of the government coverup, too?
Another sex scene, of the Lesbian Kind, is a close encounter of Foxxx and an old chum from college, beautiful Anna Claire Clouds, who helps her in her research by hacking government computers. Final sex scene has Foxxx reunited with Colle after he shows up many months later claiming he crashed a ship (a flying saucer, apparently). Their reunion sex scene is very poorly photographed, again on purpose by Mr. Sparks.
Resolution of the mysteries is corny and predictable, not the exciting thriller cliff-hanger the auteur intended.
Acting is flat, and the indigestible movie fails in both basic storytelling and basic delivery of porn.
