Sorceress
(1995/Synapse Films Blu-ray)
Picture:
B+ Sound: B+ Extras: C Film: C-
Released
direct-to-video in 1995 and now considered a cult classic, Director
Jim Wynoski's Sorceress
(also known as Temptress
2) is
an erotic supernatural thriller that stars Linda Blair (The
Exorcist),
Michael Parks (Kill
Bill),
and Julie Strain (Queen of B Movies and 1991 Penthouse Pet of the
Month). This version of the film is far more 'adult' than previous
releases with more sex and violence than you can shake a stick at.
This, however, doesn't help make the predictable plot points and
so-so performances from being any better but will sure to please fans
of the film.
An
attorney (Larry Poindexter) is rising through the ranks at a
prominent law firm due to his wife's black magic (Julie Strain), but
once she tries to kill (and cripples) Larry's co-worker Howard
(Edward Albert), his angry sorceress wife (Linda Blair) will stop at
nothing until she destroys everything in Larry's life!
Presented
in glorious 1080p high definition (with a widescreen aspect ratio of
1.78:1) and boasting an all new 2K Transfer in this new un-censored
and uncut Director's Approved edition of the film, which looks and
sounds fantastic on Blu-ray disc - certainly better than it ever has
in previous releases. The audio is up to standards as well with a
lossless, English DTS-HD MA English 2.0 Stereo track that is up to
par.
Extras
include...
Commentary
by Director Jim Wynorski
Additional
Commentary Track with Wynorski and Tom Savini
Collectible
black Blu-ray disc case
Aimed
more at frisky couples who are looking for something slightly above a
softcore adult film, Sorceress
is cheesy '90s direct to video faire that hasn't necessarily gotten
much better with age.
