By Selwyn HarrisThe DVD dispatches of June 2006 may well go down among the most nudity-packed to ever hit home video in a single month. In fact, these upcoming offerings are so overflowing with flesh that we had to double our coverage and devote two separate features to the very best in the very barest. Without further ado, let's get on with Part Two.
JUNE 20, 2006
Deviant Obsession (2001)
STUDIO: Platinum Disc
NUDES: Venus (Picture: 1), Lauren Montgomery (Picture: 1), Brick Randall (Picture: 1)
THE SKINNY: With a name like Deviant Obsession, it's got to be a late-night-cable-style erotic thriller. And it is. Fortunately Deviant Obsession is a fine example of the skin-heavy whodunit form, as the actresses who done show skin here include B-movie vets Brick Randall and Lauren Montgomery, along with single-monikered knockout Venus, who is, in fact, a heavenly body.
Don't Move (2004)
STUDIO: Genius Entertainment
NUDES: Pen?pe Cruz (Picture: 1), Claudia Gerini (Picture: 1), Elena Perino (Picture: 1)
THE SKINNY: Good luck getting your pants not to move as you watch the Italian-made thriller Don't Move. Spanish supernova Pen?pe Cruz plays a destitute slum dweller who captivates a wealthy doctor. After their affair, he is haunted by her image--as you will be, seeing how Pen?pe gets naked along with Euro babes Claudia Gerini and Elena Perino.
Frenzy (1972)
STUDIO: Universal
NUDES: Anna Massey, Barbara Leigh-Hunt
THE SKINNY: After too-few thrillers in the late 1960s and early '70s, Alfred Hitchcock reclaimed his crown as Master of Suspense with Frenzy, a dark, shockingly violent tale of a serial killer offing the ladies of London with his necktie. Aside from the graphic murder scenes, Frenzy is also notable for Hitchcock's unprecedented use of female nudity, courtesy of Anna Massey and Barbara Leigh-Hunt.
Holy Terror (2002)
STUDIO: Terror Vision
NUDES: Beverly Lynne (Picture: 1)
THE SKINNY: Dead nuns aren't the stuff of typical nightmares. But consider the deceased sister of Holy Terror who has pledged her soul to the devil and possesses an apartment rented by boobilicious B-movie bombshell Beverly Lynne. Before a skingoria-heavy comeuppance, Beverly does bare her bombers several times while being manipulated from beyond. That dead nun may be evil, but she's generous.
Malefic (2003)
STUDIO: Inspired Corporation
NUDES: Dawn DuVurger (Picture: 1), Sequoia Rose Fuller (Picture: 1), Cynder Moon (Picture: 1)
THE SKINNY: A quartet of kidnappers hides in a cabin and plots an unthinkably ugly crime. To pass time, they goof around with an occult object that unleashes a monster who's hungry for humans. And some of the ladies get naked. So, yeah, Malefic is pretty good.
Night Watch (2004)
STUDIO: 20th Century Fox
NUDES: Galina Tyunina
THE SKINNY: A blockbuster smash in its native Russia, Night Watch is an epic depiction of the struggle between the forces of good and evil, complete with Matrix-style special effects, a rock score, monstrous battle scenes, and Galina Tyunina naked. We are especially fond of that last element.
Private Obsession (1995)
STUDIO: Showcase Entertainment
NUDES: Shannon Whirry (Picture: 1)
THE SKINNY: Naturally stacked knockout Shannon Whirry stars in Private Obsession as an outspoken feminist who gets abducted by a male chauvinist psychopath. Ever-sharp Shannon realizes that the most direct route out of her predicament is to put her perfect body to its most powerfully erotic use, as she seduces her captor and eventually wins her freedom--one glorious nude scene at a time.
Under Lock and Key (1995)
STUDIO: Platinum Disc
NUDES: Trisha Berdot (Picture: 1), Stephanie Ann Smith (Picture: 1), Sai Tyler (Picture: 1), Wendi Westbrook
THE SKINNY: A throwback to the classic women-in-prison flicks of drive-in days gone by, Under Lock and Key follows a wonder-whoppered FBI agent (Wendi Westerbrook) as she goes undercover into a notorious all-female jail. Once inside, our heroine is confronted by thugs, druggies, lesbians, and lots of full-frontal-friendly showers. Her adventures lead, as they so often do, to a full-on bust-out, by which point Under Lock and Key will have long since liberated a key component of your anatomy from the prison contained behind the zipper of your pants.

JUNE 27, 2006
Assault of the Party Nerds (1989)
STUDIO: Vanguard Cinema
NUDES: Michelle Bauer (Picture: 1), Linnea Quigley (Picture: 1), Tantala Ray (Picture: 1)
THE SKINNY: Assault of the Party Nerds is a memorably monikered late-stage entry in the classic teen-sex-comedy cycle of the 1980s. It's a traditional potent combo of nerds-versus-jocks, yuks, and coed cuties, as a geek fraternity is ordered to increase its membership or perish. And how better to do that than with naked girls? There is no better way--especially when the nudies in question include '80s B-flick super-sirens Michelle Bauer and Linnea Quigley, along with tantalizing Tantala Ray.
The Flesh and Blood Show (1972)
STUDIO: Media Blasters
NUDES: Candace Glendenning, Judy Matheson, Penny Meredith, Luan Peters
THE SKINNY: When it comes to horror flicks, we here at MrSkin.com ask only two things: Give us flesh and give us blood. Gloriously living up to its title is the 1972 British fright-fest The Flesh and Blood Show, directed by acclaimed cult filmmaker Pete Walker. A theater troupe rehearses its newest production at a seaside playhouse. One by one, they are picked off by a killer. Two by two, the female cast members bare their breasts. Pretty bird Luan Peters goes the (s)extra distance and bares her bum too. All that flesh will get your own blood pumping to the right place.
Masters of Horror: Lucky McKee's Sick Girl (2005)
STUDIO: Showtime
NUDES: Erin Brown (Picture: 1)
THE SKINNY: Erin Brown portrays the titular trollop in Sick Girl, director Lucky McKee's installment of the Showtime series Masters of Horror. Miss Brown is a superhumanly beguiling blue-eyed, dark-maned sylph, with a waify figure as alluring as her screen presence is powerful. Her lesbian love scenes with (non-nude) co-star Angela Bettis are mesmerizing and wholly convincing. The plot hinges on ancient insects and modern madness. But no matter how buggy the proceedings get, you will not be able to pull your eyes away from Erin Brown. And maybe that's because, prior to Sick Girl, Erin Brown was known as Misty Mundae. But probably it's just because Erin Brown is Erin Brown.
Private Resort (1985)
STUDIO: Sony Pictures
NUDES: Vickie Benson, Leslie Easterbrook (Picture: 1), Hilary Shepard (Picture: 1)
THE SKINNY: Fun, sun, sand, skin, and Johnny Depp collide in Private Resort, a farcical favorite from the teen-sex-crazed '80s. Joining Johnny as a young mook hired to handle the tourists during the summer season is young Rob Morrow. Better still, TA comes courtesy of B-movie delights Vickie Benson, Leslie Easterbrook, and Hilary Shepard. Check your pubic parts into Private Resort.
The Perils of Gwendoline in the Land of the Yik Yak (1984)
STUDIO: Severin
NUDES: Tawny Kitaen (Picture: 1), Zabou (Picture: 1), unnanmed nudes
THE SKINNY: A kink classic based on an erotic French comic book, The Perils of Gwendoline in the Land of the Yik Yak casts young and tawdry Tawny Kitaen as the hyper-sexual heroine of the title who embarks on a journey into an anything-goes underworld of bondage, carnal excess, and swashbuckling fantasies made flesh. Perils is yet another arousing masterwork from Just Jaeckin, director of the skinematic milestones Emmanuelle (1974) and The Story of O (1975). Too long a cult item, Gwendoline's arrival on DVD is as welcome as Tawny Kitaen herself showing up at one's home in a leather thong.
Shadow: Dead Riot (2005)
STUDIO: Media-Blasters.com
NUDES: Misty Mundae (Picture: 1), Toy, Danielle Riley (Picture: 1), Aggie Valdez
THE SKINNY: You got your zombies in my women-in-prison flick! You got your women-in-prison in my zombie flick! Hey--zombies and women-in-prison are two great genres that go great together, as evidenced by Shadow: Dead Riot, where these staple forms of exploitation collide most impressively. Tony Todd, best known as Candyman, portrays an undead killer who rises from the grave to exact revenge on his locked-up former ladyfriend (Carla Greene). As is to be expected, we get steamy nude showers, dirty prison doctor exams, and girl-girl loveliness. Plus a zombie.
Spaced Out (1979)
STUDIO: Image Entertainment
NUDES: Glory Annen, Ava Cadell
THE SKINNY: Spaced Out is a typical British sex farce of the swingin' '70s, only it ends up in ... you know, space. Glory Annen, Ava Cadell, and Kate Ferguson portray a trio of alien eyefuls who abduct four local characters for studying on their starship. All of it involves nudity, so do beam yourself up a copy of this DVD.
Ultraviolet (2006)
STUDIO: Sony Pictures
NUDES: Milla Jovovich
THE SKINNY: Mouth-wateringly meaty-nippled supermodel Milla Jovovich continues to build on the ass-stomping sci-fi-heroine image she's cultivated in The Fifth Element (1997) and the Resident Evil movies with Ultraviolet. This time, Milla plays an acrobatic vampire who must protect a boy whose body may mean the end of her race. It's that important. Even more pressing is the moment thirteen minutes into Ultraviolet when Milla walks naked through a scanner. She shows off her flawless, rock-hard butt, and part of you is guaranteed to turn ultraviolet.
