HOW SEDUCTION CINEMA TOOK OVER MY LIFE!!!

HOW SEDUCTION CINEMA TOOK OVER MY LIFE
by Douglas Waltz
 
Forever ago, and by forever ago I mean a time period where I did not own a DVD player, I started writing reviews for a site called Cult Cuts. My editor knew that I had the uncanny ability to not only watch anything in the world, but to see the good in almost any type of cinema. Rather a unique ability...

Anyway, I was sent a copy of a flick called EROTIC SURVIVOR 2. And that was the beginning of the end for me. I don't watch reality television, but even I knew that this was a pretty fun skewering of the popular CBS program. Of course this was infinitely better because it had lots of nubile young, naked ladies having simulated lesbian sex. Hell, if the real show had had this I would have watched from the start. From there I was subjected to clever titles like LORD OF THE G-STRINGS, GLADIATOR EROTICUS and LUST IN SPACE.

But this wasn't my first encounter with Seduction Cinema's flagship female, Misty Mundae. No, that came by way of an ad for Retro Seduction Cinema's release of the Joe Sarno film INGA. The ad they used did not have star Marie Liljedahl. Instead it was this supple, young brunette that went by the name Misty Mundae.

I was hooked.

If she was in it I had to watch it. Flicks like MISTY MUNDAE: MUMMY RAIDER, AN EROTIC VAMPIRE IN PARIS (also starring the breathtaking Tina Krause) and numerous other films. Luckily, I had editors willing to feed my addiction and I saw everything that the studio that would eventually be covered under the umbrella title of Alternative Cinema had to offer. Because of Michael Raso, I was subjected to films by the likes of Nick Phillips, Joe Sarno and Tony Marsiglia. Directors that could meld the macabre with the erotic flawlessly and kept me coming back for more.

Now, time has passed and Alternative Cinema continues to release films that no one else would touch. Work by the incredible Rene Bond. The sequel to DEEP THROAT. And many, many more. It amazes me that no one has given critical consideration to this catalog of film releases. Sure, you could try to pass them off as soft-core porn and thus, worthless. But they aren't.

The opening sequence of Marsiglia's LUST FOR DRACULA where a pair of naked vampires are in a clutch in a bathroom and there is this bloody...thing crawling towards them in its death throes. That one scene in DOCTOR JEKYLL AND MISTRESS HYDE where you discover that Misty Mundae has become a full fledged actress. The numerous, lengthy behind the scenes footage that shows you the amount of work that goes into each of these films. The list goes on and on and here at Breastford City Limits will be chronicling one of the most independent film companies existing in America today.
