3/10
Straight to video for a reason
29 October 2016
THE TEMPTRESS is the second in the series of enduring WITCHCRAFT films which began in the late '80s and are still being made today. There are about fifteen so far, making this a more prolific series than the likes of Friday the 13th or Halloween. Sadly most of these are junk and straight-to-video for a reason; they're simple 'erotic' horrors emphasising sexuality and nudity and not much else.

A lot of them have the same boring guy in them, good warlock Charles Solomon Jr., and THE TEMPTRESS is no exception. He plays a guy trying to live an ordinary life with his girlfriend who gets into hot water when the titular character turns up on the scene. She's played by Danish model Delia Sheppard, a statuesque Brigitte Nielsen lookalike who is more than happy to flaunt her body when the situation arises.

Sadly the ensuing film is trashy and uninteresting. The horror aspects are so tame and cheesy as to barely register. As for the sexual content, it's not as memorable as in those Shannon Tweed-style erotic thrillers so popular during the 1990s. THE TEMPTRESS straddles a line between boring and ridiculous, and sadly neither is a recommendation.
