Inept mixture of pathos and kink
lor_21 March 2024
Paul Norman, a pornographer whose dad was a very fine mainstream film screenwriter, specializes in outre themes, and manages to turn the Victor Hugo classic novel into an amateurish porn fetish movie. Unless one gets off on watching Buck Adams and Ron Jeremy demonstrate their overacting tendencies, it's a must-skip

The Ariel Hart screenplay is loose with character names: busty star Aja is called alternately Esmerelda or Zelda, while Buck as the Hunchback is either Quasimodo or Victor (latter of course a dumb reference to Victor Hugo, whose brass bust is shown in the final scene. The terrible dialogue, at times attempting to be serious, is mainly drowned out by music.

Jeremy is a hissable meanie who owns a strip bar, where Aja works. She pities his janitor, Buck Adams, and after some ridiculous melodrama and plenty of sex filler, the climax gets kinky. Buck has quality makeup effects (by Funhouse) with an off center eye and many ridges as his hump. When Aja humps him, she fetishistically likcs and kisses his hump.

Norman achieved what I would call his masterwork in this vein with the FX of "Edward Penishands" starring Sikki Nixx, but this stinker lacks Edward's nuttiness.
