Midnight Confessions

"Voices of Seduction"/"Midnight Confessions" does have some beautiful women in it - the lead, Carol Hoyt, is an elegant redhead - and the premise of a late-night radio show where the listeners call the host and reveal their secret erotic fantasies and desires could make for an effective erotic film with a different approach, but someone thought it was a good idea to "enhance" the film with a dismal and distasteful, not to mention stupid (for example, are prisoners usually allowed to make obscene phone calls to the outside at night?) exploitation plot about a nutcase knocking off prostitutes. Note to the filmmakers: when we are watching an "erotic" film, we want to be turned on, not off. Oh yes, Julie Strain's picture is on the DVD cover, but her part is nothing more than a 3-minute cameo. (*1/2)
