Perhaps the most telling thing about Vivid's ambitions for this release is the fact that not only did they make an edited version -- theoretically acceptable for late-night cable programming -- but it's that version that has been released on DVD, which is where I watched it. While I found the omission of hardcore footage annoying, that's not the most unpleasant aspect of the film.
The real problem with the film is that it's an "idiot plot" -- one that requires that people who are involved in it are idiots. In the ante-climax of the film, a character falls to her death. It's obvious to the viewer that's what's happened, yet the plot demands that observers inside the video somehow not realize that she's dead -- they even ask, in a later scene, whether she's all right, and are fed lies. Wouldn't someone have checked her pulse?
Nor is it ever made clear why, exactly, Lauren Walters (played by the incredibly beautiful Chasey Lane) is so disturbed by the sight of people having sex. Admittedly, the fact that no one else seems to notice them doing it, and all the other disturbing things that she sees and hears, certainly contribute to her poor mental state, but it's not really clear why sex, in particular, was chosen as a method of aggravating her condition. (Of course, if there wasn't as much sex as there was, it wouldn't be much of an adult film. But since this particular adult film is trying for more, it should be criticized for failing.)
I do like the film's ultimate plot twist, even though it does come out of nowhere and moves the plot from a Hitchcokian scheme to a full-on supernatural one. So I give it a mediocre rating, but note that Chasey Lain (the usual spelling) is luminous in this as she always was at the start of her career.
