Sensual Fire (1979)

** (out of 4)

Roy (Jamie Gillis) marries the beautiful Laura (Jesie St. James) but soon starts to fantasies about her teenage daughter (Dorothy LeMay). Soon these fantasies just aren't enough and he wants the real thing.

Carlos Tobalina's SENSUAL FIRE is the director's attempt at trying to tackle a taboo subject but it certainly falls well short of other films that deal with the subject. The most popular film in this "genre" was TABOO, which followed a year after this one and there's no question that the two would make a perfect double feature because it would show you the dos and don'ts of how to make them.

SENSUAL FIRE is pretty much a misfire from the word go as the film doesn't really have anything to say on the subject and instead it just plays out with a bunch of sexual vignettes that add up to very little. I would argue that Gillis, St. James and LeMay were all good in their roles but there's very little actual fire.

The majority of the sex scenes are rather boring and in fact none of them have much fire or erotic nature. Each one of the sex scenes are just building up to the finale where Gillis gets with LeMay for real but how it is presented was just rather silly to say the least.
