Waste of time

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

Jay Richardson & Delia Sheppard play crooked sex doctors at a clinic where rape and murder happen regularly. Tanya Roberts plays the sister of a girl who went to the clinic and wound up committing suicide because of her flashbacks to the sex she had with the doctor. She was not aware what he was doing. Tanya decides to get a job at the clinic. She was friends with a nurse who was leaving, so she takes her place. Delia and Jay have a kinky sex scene before she meets Tanya. Nick Casavetes plats a detective and talks with Tanya and tells her about a partner who was killed by the same people. Jan Michael Vincent gets a small role as a guy who has done dirty work for Jay in the past. Tanya is shown what goes on at the clinic. She sees how a guy is seduced by two women why Delia watches. Jay and Delia find out Nick is on their trail. They send Jan to kill him, but he fails and Jay kills him. Jay and Delia have another scorching love scene in front of the fire. Tanya puts on a skin tight black burglar outfit and looks for clues on her sister's death. She returns to a wounded Nick in her house and he thinks she told them about him. She starts crying and he decided she was not in on it. She tells him to spend the night on the couch. Next we flash to Tanya in bed wearing a small pair of panties and a top just long enough to cover to breasts. She has nightmares about her sister and Nick comes to the room. They start kissing and Tanya takes off her top and then the next shot shows her completely naked on top of him. The camera pans up and down her nude body as she kisses him. We get to see her ride on him from the front and back. Really nicely filmed love scene with a nice song in the background. The next day Tanya takes Nick to the clinic before it opens to find evidence. Tanya is forced to make love to Delia so Nick can escape. Delia takes off Tanya's clothes to reveal a sexy black catsuit Tanya is wearing. Nice kissing and some really nice shots of Tanya's body in the catsuit. She walks out of the clinic and looks rattled because of what she just did. She takes a long shower. No we don't get to see her in the shower. Nick found a therapy tape that ties Jay and Delia to the murders. They meet them out by the place they killed her sister. They end up knocking out Nick and her cop friend. Tanya ends up shooting Delia dead and running over Jay with a car. Not sure if Nick or the cop made it because the movie ends with her walking away after she runs over Jay. Solid effort from all around. Tanya Roberts was 38 at the time and still looked great totally nude!

I gave this movie a 10 on sex scenes alone. The unrated version is full of steamy love scenes and nudity and there's nothing wrong with that. Tanya Roberts plays Kay, the sister of a patient at a sex clinic owned by a sleazy married couple named Jessica and Scott Callister (played perfectly by Delia Sheppard and Jay Richardson). It seems there's something weird going on at their sex clinic and it involves a powerful drug and some doctors doing bad things to their patients while they are under the influence of the drugs. After Kay's sister commits suicide she joins forces with a handsome insurance investigator and they go undercover (if you know what I mean and I think you do) to solve the sex murder. They manage to fall in love in the process and have wild sex during a thunderstorm.(note to anyone: if you invite a handsome insurance investigator to stay the night at your house then that it a recipe for erotic disaster) This movie is great! It has lesbian sex scenes galore, kinky rough sex, Tanya Roberts and Nick Cassavettes who is now a director. It's backed by a great soundtrack by the lovely Becky Lebeau and the usual kick-butt directing of Jim (I'm in it for the ladies) Wynorsky. Check it out but make sure you get the unrated version.

*SPOILER ALERT* *SPOILER ALERT*I bought this video. There were many signs that pointed "Sins of Desire" in the direction of a satisfying B-movie experience. I saw a big UNRATED on the back of the video box. I also saw that the director's name was Jim Wynorski. UNRATED and Wynorski go hand in hand. The man is notorious for packing his movies with topless women. This was a film I needed to see. It starred Tanya Roberts and Delia Sheppard. One of these women would surely be getting topless. Most women don't get out of a Wynorski movie with their top on.Well, the good news is that the Wynorski brand name of B-quality stands proud in this one. All of the women get topless! Tanya gets naked in a quick sex scene with her private detective buddy and Sheppard gets naked a bunch of times. Sheppard likes rough sex and I like rough Sheppard sex. We all win! Tanya gets a job at Sheppard's sex clinic. Instead of taking the time to learn from the master, she actually wants to shut Sheppard's place down. I couldn't believe it. Apparently Tanya was still sore that her sister killed herself after visiting the clinic. Other characters drift in and out of the story while Sheppard has some down and dirty loving with her husband."Sins of Desire" is a reasonable enough B-movie. It's nothing to write home about but you won't feel the need to kill yourself afterwards. The only thing that had me conflicted was the Sheppard/husband sex scenes. Her husband is played by the infamous Jay Richardson. Now Richardson is a pretty good actor and I've enjoyed seeing him in countless Wynorksi and Fred Olen Ray flicks but watching him have sex was kind of throwing me off my game. He's not what I would call a sex symbol. In fact, I feel pretty safe in saying that no one considers him a sex symbol. Fortunately Sheppard was into it. I guess that's all that really matters.

When it comes to erotic thrillers I stop caring so much about production quality (although I appreciate it if it is present). The highlights on this one are Tanya Roberts and Delia Sheppard ('cause I love them both), and watching them together (and pretty close) justifies this feature a lot. Of course, this is a personal opinion.
