Sacrilege (1971)
* 1/2 (out of 4)
Ray Dennis Steckler produced, wrote and directed this film yet years later he'd pretend that he had absolutely nothing to do with it. If you thought a Steckler movie had no plot then wait until he see his pornos! In the film, Jay (Gerald Broulard) is sitting in the middle of nowhere when a beautiful schoolteacher approaches him. He follows her back to her house but it turns out that she's actually the witch Cassandra (Jane Tsentas). SACRILEGE is a pretty bad movie all around but I'm going to guess that someone really tampered with it after the filming was complete. I say this because it really does seem as if this was shot as a softcore picture and then someone went back and turned it into a hardcore picture. It's rather obvious because there are always cutaways to the hardcore scenes and it's clear from tan lines and other things that the main actors aren't always in the action. What can you really say about this film? There's certainly nothing erotic about any of the softcore things and I really doubt that porn fans are going to enjoy the inserts here. None of them are shot all that well even by 70's porn standards. Doris Wishman vet C. Davis Smith appears here as a Devil-type of character. SACRILEGE really doesn't have much going for it, although at the same time it's certainly Steckler's vision on screen.
