Mediocre James Avalon effort
Not known for his Sin City releases, ace filmmaker James Avalon has a real off-day with "Harlot", a silly occult porn feature that does not display its maker's usual craftsmanship.
He reveals in the BTS short subject that the project's working title was "Tight Squeeze", equally pointless as the "Harlot" moniker. It's a non- story of hero Chris Cannon hiring a beautiful psychic (Brittney Skye, who gets unearned top billing) to find out if his "not tonight, darling" wife Aurora Snow is cheating on him.
The silly treatment of paranormal phenomena is so poor that at one point Cannon balks at Brittney's dumb explanation, and I didn't buy any of the mumbo-jumbo either. Even at that specious level, the uncredited script contradicts itself frequently in the final reels, causing the video to devolve into sex scenes barely connected by jabber in between.
Also in the BTS Avalon comments on the low-energy, somnambulist performance by newcomer Kim Kane, and the future star indeed gives a very boring walk-through, even seeming stoned in her interview material. Both Snow and Brittney contribute mechanical sex scenes, and Avalon's attempt to liven things up with kinky content when we see flashbacks of Snow at a fetish club falls flat. Having Billy Glide in drag (wearing fishnet stockings and lipstick) is a non-starter. Best sexual performance is by Dillan Lauren giving a deep-throat demonstration at the kink club.
