The Cursed XXX – Adam & Eve Pictures – Director – Will Ryder – Cast – Riley Reid, Kat Dior, Sarah Vandella, Misty Stone, Nia Nacci, Victoria June, Holly Hendrix, Mike Mancini, Seth Gamble, Brad Armstrong, Chad White, Connor Kennedy, James Bartholet, Frank Bukwydd and others.

In view of the fact that Will Ryder has another excursion into the paranormal for later this year, we dug up this gem for you to sink your teeth into. Enjoy!

When you mention the name Will Ryder you think right away TV and movie XXX parodies like the Brady Bunch, Bewitched, Rocky, Grease, etc. Then there is his mega hit and recent award winning comedy “Bad Babes Inc.” Now this brilliant director comes full circle in what can best be described as “Will Ryder meets Stephen King”! This is a truly edge of your seat, supernatural thriller that is incredibly performed and put together by an outstanding cast. It is unlike anything Ryder has ever done, but I can honestly say after seeing this production and how masterful it is all put together, what can he do for an encore?

In this horror and supernatural mix the setting is a Cam House that turns out to be haunted and a place for paranormal experiences that will scare the bejeezus out of the girls working and living there. It all becomes frightfully real when the dead body of one of the girls is found floating in the pool. What begins to happen throughout this house is the basis for the story and plot of the film. It also creates a tour de force performance by Riley Reid, who probably pulls off the best characterization of her career in this release. It is a Riley Reid you have never seen before. Fear not, there is plenty of steamy, sizzling sex in this filmi to keep you busy, but it is the story, the edge of your seat occurrences and the continued twists and turns that take center stage under Ryder’s creative and masterful direction.

Another major part of this movie that is accomplished is the stunt work. There are people flying through the air, being pulled  and tossed around by supernatural forces and the like. While some of the simpler moves are done by cast members, the truly dangerous stunts are done with perfection by 1am Doll USA. The doll, which bears a strong resemblance to Riley, doubles for the adult star in special scenes. According to Ryder, these lifelike dolls weigh eighty five pounds, so they are, in many ways, very real.

Right from the opening and the credits you know this is going to be a special movie. Riley, as Abigail, is in front of a raging fire, the cause of that fire is revealed later on. Then we see her dressed and in the bathroom about to take a handful of pills. The man who runs this cam house (Brad Armstrong) comes in to escort her and show her around as she is the new girl in the house. We get a glimpse of the different girls doing their cam thing and you immediately can sense that Riley is not just your normal cam girl. Her look is very freaky and devilish and her motions emphasize that. Then we have Misty Stone and some of the girls in the kitchen “practicing” oral with bananas and it is a fun scene except that every little noise tends to freak the girls out. There is also a scene outside by the pool that looks very normal, but is it? That will come into play soon.

It is quickly obvious the girls do not like Riley and vice versa. Once again her motions and looks are strange and weird, but Brad Armstrong, tells them not to worry and that everything is okay, but is it? Later that night Brad is in bed with his favorite girl Kat Dior and it seems as though he is keeping a big dark secret from everyone and Kat wants him to tell the girls but he won’t. They hear a noise out by the pool, but think it’s just the girls enjoying themselves. The next morning they discover a dead body in the pool of one of the girls and now the cops are involved. Seth Gamble and Sarah Vandella are the two detectives handling the case. They are the last people Brad wanted to see at his house for several reasons and the investigation begins. But it will turn up one dead end after another.

The detectives talk to the girls and it is then that the secret Brad is keeping is revealed and it freaks them out even more. What was it and what effect has it had on the cam house. Nope, not gonna tell you, you’ll have to get the DVD to find out. I will tell you it has a lot to do with everything that happens in the house and with the girls, who the dead girl could be and a lot more. There is a scene with Riley primping in front of a mirror when a monster clown figure comes into view and disappears freaking her out and now the supernatural and weird happenings will begin to reek havoc on everyone. She also plays up to Brad and leaves him with a vampirish kiss. There is an exorcism, the ridding on super natural entities and much more.

There is so much going on in this film that to give you everything would fill three pages. That being said, this is a superb production in every way. First the casting is impeccable and some of the acting is very mainstream like. Having a super star like Brad Armstrong is major plus, but Riley outdoes herself and the entire cast, big part or small part is exceptional. The cinematography, music, lighting and pacing are perfect and the special effects are fantastic. Ryder and Adam & Eve should be very proud of this effort and be prepared for a lot of award nominations in a variety of categories when awards buzz begins. This is a DVD you do not want to miss getting hold of. I very strongly recommend “The Curse XXX” for some exceptional adult entertainment and viewing.

One final note: In late summer 2022 you can look for another visit to the paranormal, sci fi world as Will Ryder brings you a brand new edge of your seat, sexy thriller.
