Michael Ninn has put together a very surreal and compelling film with Catherine. Starring Audrey Hollander as a present day woman haunted by a Victorian era woman with unquenchable carnal lusts, Catherine takes its audience on a spell binding tour of gothic settings and amazing cinematography. Catherine features lots of cutting between present day and the Victorian era with tasteful camera tricks that elevate this film far beyond gonzo flicks or other story based porn.
The film is set in winter in what appears to be an old stone manor with plenty of stone steps, columns, arched windows, and statues. The first scene starts with Catherine’s lord in a long coat with gold patterned embroidery circling her on stone steps Catherine is wearing a black mesh hair piece, black heels, and white make-up. Catherine starts the scene with some masturbation and soon receives some oral stimulation by her lord. Soon the lord has his hand up Catherine’s ass and then feeds her a little ass to mouth. Catherine returns the favor with a blow job and then hops on for some anal reverse cowboy action. This is followed up by some anal doggie style near a pillar featuring some ATM. The scene ends with a tame facial (which is recurrent throughout the film).
The action moves inside into a large dark gothic room with arched windows with grates, stone floors, stone walls, and a fire place. An audience is gathered, that includes Catherine. Catherine watches as a minion plays with a dark haired lady. The bald headed minion is wearing a long coat (something out of Hellraiser) with metal clasps in front while the lady is wearing a black short dress. He starts with some rough oral that includes some slapping, spitting, and quick entry with fingers. The lady then gives the minion a blow job as Catherine encourages them. Penetration starts with some doggie style followed by anal reverse cowboy. The scene ends with a blow job and another tame facial.
Flashes of three women with one in bondage with a mouth-piece halter are the precursor to scene three. A blond on stone steps with Catherine looking on from a balcony kicks off the action as she starts to masturbate. There are some beautiful stone statues in the corner of what appears to be a courtyard to add ambience to the action. The blond is wearing a burgundy embroidered coat with a burgundy mini skirt and is soon accompanied by another blond wearing a black silk top and silver mini skirt. They are both wearing long thigh high vinyl boots that I would love to add to my collection and any Dom would be proud to wear. Catherine wearing a lavender corset and long skirt soon comes down from her balcony to join the action. One of the blonds puts on a large black strap on that Catherine immediately blows while the other blond plunges her head up and down. Catherine takes it doggie style anally while she gives the other blond oral. Catherine goes cowboy style on the strap-on with the addition of Phallix glass butt plug and head halter. The blonds urge Catherine on with a riding crop and a strap.
A beautiful blond in a long white embroidered dress is sitting on an antique chair in gothic hallway complete with gargoyles. She is soon joined by a stud who gives her oral. She follows up with a blow job and then onto reverse cowboy and cowboy chair play. This scene wraps up fairly quickly with a tame facial.
The final sex act of this film takes place on stone steps at night and features Catherine with a white night gown with embroidered sleeves and collar. There is an antique red chase with black silk sheets at the bottom of the steps. Two men with long dark coats and the lord enter the scene. After the lord berates her and told her she should have left, Catherine is cast into two blow jobs with the minions. Soon the oral action ends and the play moves to double penetration in reverse cowboy. Catherine tries to run away but is returned by the lord. The lord joins the action with some double anal penetration. Like the other scenes, it ends with Catherine receiving a tame facial.
Catherine can take the taunting of the lord no more and ends the film with a dramatic knifing of her master. Catherine employs a very ornate dagger that is present in both the Victorian era and her contemporary apartment. Not only does the lord get the shaft, but so does her boyfriend. Hopefully the haunting is over as it looks like some jail time is in Catherine’s future.
I liked this adult film in that it wasn’t just a mind numbing porno flick but was very much a classy piece of production with some BDSM thrown in. The settings were incredible as were the wardrobes. Michael Ninn certainly knows how to work his camera and had a clear vision of what he wanted to convey. I found that unlike most adult content, I didn’t fast forward from scene to scene but watched this from beginning to end. There was definitely variety in play and cast. If you are looking for a gonzo flick with extreme facials, this film is not for you. If you are looking for something that you can watch with your lover and explore a more dark erotic side then break out your charge card.
