"Great-looking release, good packaging with nice artwork and slipcover. Overall a strange and interesting movie. Christmas and porn are kind of a tough mix and so this movie may not be for everyone but it's never looked or sounded better."
"A Christmas adult movie. This one is actually pretty great. The actors are really trying to act and with great success while maintaining the eroticism. The transfer is amazing and the cover is excellent!"
"This was definitely a different kind of porno. Appreciated a story that was unexpected for a porno. Enjoyed the audio commentary and Jamie Gillis is great, as always"
"The Passions of Carol is more than an adult film. It was made at a time when the filmmakers tries to do more. They wanted to make actual movies with plots, effects, good acting etc. The Passions of Carol is an adult take on A Christmas Carol. The sets and costumes look incredible. They are hand painted and beautiful. The restoration looks great. Sadly, all that's included is a commentary, trailer and reversible artwork. This one is incredible. Check it out!"
"This has a really nice transfer. An adult version of A Christmas Carol is pretty wild. Quality release from Quality X."
"A Christmas classic for all the family, some quite hilarious characters and strong performances and a huge upgrade from the vhs. This one is essential and also includes a director commentary, great stuff."
"Nice release from Quality X. Good transfer but a bit grainy in times. Great cast with some fun scenes. Love the Christmas Carol references. Lacks a bit in the sex scenes, not a lot of variety. But a good release overall."
"Great cast. Good video and audio quality."
"I watched this over the festive period and thoroughly enjoyed it. Good hardcore take on the Scrooge character with a female in the main role. Very well made. Good to see Kim Pope, one of my favourites also appear also along with Jamie Gillis. Definitely worth adding to your collections."
"More focused on relationships and mood than spectacle, with a surprisingly thoughtful storyline and strong performances. Clean presentation that suits the film’s softer tone."
