BEAT THE DEVIL
Region 0 DVD. Digital Playground

Digital Playground's Beat the Devil is a nice try to make an upmarket slice of supernatural porn, but is hardly in the same league as the work of Michael Ninn, Antonio Passolini or James Avalon.

Director Robby D. tries hard and his ideas are interesting, but the film looks cheap and the subliminal flashes are less impressive than the director obviously feels them to be.

If you want to see porn starlet Jesse Jane in her first boy-girl scenes then this is for you - and to be fair, she's impressively rampant - albeit in a plastic, Barbie Doll way.

But this is generally not as good as I'd hoped.

At least the DVD comes with copious extras including a behind-the-scenes documentary and audio commentary from director and star, which is something.
