Review

Stormswept (1995) doesn't know if it wants to be a nudie flick, a soft-core or a horror slasher, but it definitely tries to be really bad filmmaking, and almost succeeds at that. Unfortunately, it is not bad enough to ever become a cult classic.

Despite lots of visible boom mikes, continuity errors and really bad acting, it doesn't ever reach the lofty heights of an Ed Wood film. The plot, if you can call it that, involves three actresses, a director, a random male crew member, a female real estate agent, and an unexplained couple all trapped inside an antibellum mansion by a heavy rain.

The unexplained couple have been living there in the basement, the real estate agent attended a party at the place in her youth and witnessed a murder, two of the actresses have rented the place for a vacation, and everyone else kind of hung around hoping to get laid and got caught by the storm.

We have lots of boobs, a few buns (male and female) hetero sex, lesbian sex, and a spontaneous female orgasm under hypnosis.

DVD Info: If I haven't scared you off yet, let me add that the transfer is dark, out of focus, and grainy (roughly VHS quality), and there are no extra features of note.

IMDB Summary: 20 IMDB readers have it at 5.2 out of 10. It looks like 6 of the cast and crew voted to get it that high. The three people who have commented say:

1) Unwatchable
2) This movie doesn't know if it wants to be a psycho slasher thing, or a ghost story, or a soft core party, and ends up being none of them.
3) A waste of space at the rental store. It would have to get better to be bad.

I give this a solid 0 stars.
