Snooze of a Double Feature
"Silk Satin & Sex is almost saved by its cast of female stars, Turn On can't even be saved by Kelly Nichols and Taija Rae. It's a crushing bore."

Turn On with Silk Satin & Sex
"Two very different features here, from a director I'm not at all familiar with. First up is Silk Satin and Sex, which starts off with an amazing sex scene. From there on it goes downhill, actually the next 30 minutes really wasn't all that interesting to me personally. One of the scenes is an outdoor one and I can't stand those, although in this one thankfully you can't see flies all over their lower regions etc. as you can in some outdoor porn! It really gets going when Mai Lin shows up and if there's one person you know will give it 100%, it's her. She's loving every second of it, which makes all the difference to the viewer. Then to finish it all off there's a foursome where Vanessa Del Rio is giving it absolutely everything (for that matter, so are all participants). You can tell when people are just licking in the general area because they're being directed to, but don't really have much interest, but there's none of that here. It's steamy, sweaty and full of passion. The second feature is nothing like this. It's essentially an educational movie and although it's watchable, I can't say it was particularly memorable. So it's recommended purely for the first feature, but as a bonus (or boner-s) the second feature does have some nice Vangelis style synth music."
Dual releases by director Lawrence Talbot
"A couple of older films by relatively unknown director Lawrence Talbot featuring talent like Vanessa Del Rio and Kelly Nichols. Pretty average release, but worth picking up if you are fans of the two stars."
Lawrence Talbot Turns On The Fantasy
"Silk Satin: wonky dubbing aside this is a decent adult title with a great beach fantasy setpiece. Kelly Nichols: another of the "turn on" features that is a great showcase for its titular star. Both features have decent transfer that look about as good as they could."
Great release
"Great double feature of classic adult films from the golden era. Fantastic looking transfers!"
Great
"Excellent transfer and free features"
Vanessa Del Rio and Veronica Hart
"A double feature with two rare Lawrence Talbot efforts, including names that became big stars in the 80´s. Great restoration job. Silk Satin & Sex get´s the upper hand as it has some kind of real plot. Great fun, all in all."
Catalogue No. VS-145
"A very decent Peekarama DVD with two early/mid 80s adult classics. Silk Satin & Sex is the better movie as it's got an actual plot and stars Vanessa Del Rio. The 2nd feature is not as entertaining and feels more like a white coater with the beatiful Kelly Nichols (those eyes!) teaching us about the art of love making. The director for both features is credited as "Lawrence Talbot", but I assume it's a pseudonym, as that's the name of Lon Chaney Jr.'s character in The Wolfman. Plus he only directed these two films according to imdb. Picture quality is very good for a DVD."
