Bud Lee and his crew bounce back for a decent third volume of this Jill Kelly series saluting Haven, one of her label's contract stars.
Saga continues with on-campus antics, interrupted occasionally by screenwriter George Kaplan doing his Borscht Belt impression as Haven's grandpa who is a magical wizard of sort. No, not Harry Potter time, but merely cheap-jack fantasy elements injected into a standard porn framework.
It's a bit difficult to know who to root for, as lovely actresses including Devon and Keri Windsor are battling in this supernatural story, none of which rises to the level of other Lee epics in terms of creating rich, viable characters. A central Halloween party sequence injects several NonSex extras, including the underutilized Black actress Nikki Fairchild, and attempts to introduce a mistaken identity subplot that is poorly handled. Similarly a non-Cinderella theme involving saving the world before midnight is pure nonsense, and not as suspenseful as Messrs. Lee & Kaplan might have hoped. I suspect this material would have been more effective had it been assigned to Clive Barker to direct -that is, after he decided to trade his horror career for XXX fame.
When the dust settles, one has to admire Kelly's team for undertaking such a plot-driven exercise, when they knew full well their target audience was only interested in observing a series of lovelies humping away. Kimi Lixx as Aunt Belinda has her moments as the feature's deus ex machina.
