Hot Rats

Nearly all adult films are utterly predictable and they sink into oblivion almost as soon as they are made. If fans of adult films remember them at all, it is usually for a single scene that featured a fan's favorite performer.

This film is refreshingly different from that model. Almost uniquely among adult films, it is visually interesting to watch for the sets. There is more to it than the sex scenes (which are numerous and well done). Because this extra dimension is not what most fans look for or expect, this movie often causes bafflement among such fans, who are 100% fixated on the "action." The story has many elements of fantasy, or a dream. The main character is a young woman whose costume suggests Red Riding Hood. She leaves home and goes on a journey in which she witness and/or takes part in several erotic encounters.

The erotic encounters are energetic and varied. This 2003 film has one of the last performances of Lea de Mae, who died tragically young a year later from brain cancer. It also features Michelle Wild, unquestionably one of the most beautiful actresses in the entire history of adult films, at the age of 23, shortly before she left the industry. Michelle has never looked better, or more erotic, than she does in her two scenes in this film. Lea is also a standout in this film. Even though so many adult film fans do not "get" this movie, it is very worthwhile for anyone who enjoys some real creativity in adult films: it is so rare! Recommended.
