Guilty Pleasures

Yes ... the occasional T&A flick. Because sometimes nothing hits the spot more than a smooth body and a nice pair of breasts. So here we are with Death & Desire or as you probably know it Illicit Dreams 2. As a low-budget take on Fatal Attraction, the plot is pretty simple and needless to say not very original. In this variation, we have a lonely photographer (Tim Abel) who is recovering from the loss of his beloved wife. So it's only appropriate when not more than fifteen minutes into the flick he has an erotic fantasy (and not with his deceased wife either).

In short-style he meets up with Lynn (Tane McClure) the new executive at a firm he does work for. He's lonely, she's available and she's fully aware of his deep loneliness. Predictable but titillating, they decide it best to have sexual relations. Which is fine and all, I'm not complaining. This is why I gave this movie a go in the first place. So she gets naked a couple of times and of course we find out she's a complete psycho.

Tane McClure - a veteran to movies of the low budget take-off-your-clothes variety - is delicious here and ultimately why we tune in to these flicks. The story is brain dead, but the 'key' scenes deliver. I do admire an attempt at a story, but time and time again it's been proven plot and boobies just don't mix.
