Lesbian Ghost Stories 7

I like this Girlfriends series, but director B. Skow loused up this edition. Whatever effort was put into developing supernatural stories ends up a total shuck: once the XXX begins (for its mandatory uninterrupted 40 minutes or so) the story is dropped and never resolved. For example, has a curse been lifted?

What's obvious is that Skow & company have to include stories to prevent the show from just being all-sex gonzo. (In its history, Girlfriends Films has relied on Tammy Sands to provide dozens of all-sex lesbain releases apart from its own schedule). But no one cares about the stories' resolution.

First half of the show is a two-parter about a podcast titled "Queer Spirits", with two female hosts vaguely in the SNL spoof mode of National Public Radio. Played by Selena Hill and Nicole Aria, they visit an old haunted house and interview Sonny McKinley and Em Indica, who report on hearing ghostly whispers they heard there, hence the segment is titled "Whispers". In flashback, McKinley and Indica make love there.

Then the hosts elect to sleep in the same room the ghosts supposedly came from and a ghost named Julia possesses one, and they make love. No point to the podcast story is made.

Third vignette is set at a Halloween Party where Angel Windell loses her phone. She borrows friend Sonny Daze's phone and a male voice talks to her, and then to Sonny -spooky! Back home after the party, they find the missing phone under the couch and are afraid whoever had it might be threatening them. Another call does threaten, as the guy gives them that horror line: "I know what you did...last Halloween". The girls recall meeting one year ago at a Halloween party and making love there, interrupted by some guy who they chased away and was killed afterward in some accident. So he must be cursing them. Disappointingly, the girls make love -the end, with the story pointless.

Final vignette has a more elaborate story, poorly directed by Skow. Fiona Frost is Raven Lane's new roommate -she kicked the last one out for bad behavior. She lives in an old house inherited from her stepmother. Fiona has an erotic dream of joining Raven in the shower, followed by choking Raven to death in bed.

Later, Raven tells Fiona about her history- she had an incestuous affair with her stepmom, and they were caught by her daddy, who choked stepmom to death, and went to prison on a life sentence. That's how she inherited the place from stepmom.

It appears that stepmom's spirit has possessed Fiona and that's why she had that nightmare, playing the part of stepmom in the dream. Soon Fiona and Raven have sex, and all that claptrap about incest and nightmares is forgotten. I'd hate to see Skow direct an actual horror movie without sex -he simply doesn't care about storytelling, figuring condescendingly that his viewers only care about the sex footage.
