Great movie!
"Great actresses star in this off beat film. Lots of interesting characters and the scenes live up to the title. Worth adding to the collection."

Reviews
Very stylish, very entertaining -
"Very stylish, very entertaining - an extremely well made HC gem."
Enjoyable
"Amusing and saucy, a solid looking transfer"
Sensual Encounters of Every Kind
"Great transfer. The film is more of a series of vignettes but Leslie Bovee and Dorothy LeMay are good as usual. I'm glad I was able to pick this one up before it went out of print."
Dumb fun
"Out there supernatural/sci fi plot lends itself well to this one, and the cast is having fun with it"
Not As Expected
"Firstly about the title - this isn't about aliens or anything like that, so just bear that in mind!. The first scene is a woman essentially being raped, although of course she starts to enjoy it after a while (cue the romantic music). She wins the award of being one of the hairiest women I've seen in a Vinegar Syndrome film. There's a threesome, a bath scene and some toys getting used. . . all fairly standard. John Leslie then shows up and gets it on with two girls in a gym, followed by a peculiar scene with the women wearing swimming goggles and caps in a sauna (I think), which is probably a bit closer to the weirdness I've seen in other Harold Lime films. Finally, theres's a terrible scene in a car (these are always filmed horribly and this one is no exception). All in all, it's really not great, but perfectly watchable. Great transfer as always from Vinegar Syndrome."
Stellar
"Most definitely pleased with this purchase, it is a gem to have in the collection. The soundtrack and guitar solos were much appreciated. The actresses are all incredible beautiful and natural. Presented by VS in a 2k restoration, as best as anyone can do."

"Hilarious DVD release"
Great
"Loved it"
I like my porn with a plot
"And indeed, porn with a plot is what made the Golden Age of porn so amazing. Porn wasn't just sexy, it was also fun and engaging. This... doesn't have much of a plot. It seems like it will, but the plot elements are too shallow. I think they were going for a Sex World thing with all of the semi interconnected vignettes, but this didn't quite hit the mark. Still very enjoyable, however."
