Following the Pure Taboo porn series format of "mistreating young women", "Anne" lifts its story from the Little Orphan Annie comic strip, purporting to parody the hit Broadway musical, but without music. The sadistic approach of pornographers Bree Mills and Craven Moorehead robs it of eroticism, except for the winning title performance by Eliza Jane.
She plays the redhead icon as an 18-year-old, as all the orphans here are cast as very young looking but stipulated to be of age so as to avoid accusations of kiddie porn. What impresses is that Eliza stays in character, while all around her are wildly overacting in the Bree/Craven-induced manner that supposedly creates black humor.
With hambone Tommy Pistol as the both creepy and sleazy (seen both urinating and slobbering on screen) villain running Hands Transition Home for Young Girls, where he sexually abuses all the teens living there, the 4-1/2 hour movie is hard to watch, saved only by Jane's enthusiastic acting and sexual performance. Bree & co. might have learned from competitor Girlfriends Films' biggest hit "Poor Little Shyla" (memorably starring Shyla Jennings as a crippled girl abused by various superstar lesbians) in their casting of Kristen Scott as a crippled orphan, sexually abused here in strictly mean-spirited fashion.
Overlong sex scenes also feature Pistol in a gonzo three-way with mean girls Ashey Adams and Whitney Wright; the Daddy Warbucks-styled figure Derrick Pierce having sex with Eliza, and a couple of orgy scenes involving his staff including Casey Calvert, Elena Koshka, Mick Blue and Seth Gamble.
Added to the mix are a truly yucky Steve Holmes (Bree's go-to actor when an older fellow with a really big dick is required) and ebulliently nasty Sarah Vandella, latter playing Pistol's sister, who figure in a dumb con scheme posing as Anne's parents.
On the basis of this performance, Eliza Jane would make a perfect De Sade heroine (as Juliette or Justine) if Bree were to ambitiously adapt any of the Marquis's novels, perhaps following in the footsteps of Spanish cult porn director Jesus Franco.
