Pornogothic

Pornogothic is a detective story with elements of horror and good costumes.

I have to agree with the previous reviewer that the actors just go through the motions. It's a good story, great production, interesting sets and nice costumes; there just isn't a lot of acting going on.

The version I saw featured several hardcore sex scenes as part of the plot. For it's genre, detective-horror-porn, it's pretty good and deserving of a higher score.

The Gothic in the title mostly comes from the costumes, hairstyles and makeup. They do a good job there, with clothes much better than the average porn movie, and more suitable than anything you would see in an amateur film.

Out of the sex scenes, at least one is memorable because the actor and actress were so different. All of those scenes were fairly well done, with decent camera-work, tastefully enough that it could almost be a decent couples movie.

This one almost lives up to it's promise, but not quite.

This movie had crisp visuals, good costumes and a plot you could follow - all of which are desirable in any movie. But the action left a lot to be desired. The characters said their lines and performed their acts but without any real conviction or meaning. To be enjoyable, what the actors do has to be believable - and this simply wasn't. This movie had good looks, but cold acting. Get this movie if that doesn't bother you.
