Taboo 4 (Vinegar Syndrome Blu-Ray) review summaries:
Rick L. Blalock's
The fourth entry into the popular TABOO series, TABOO IV: THE YOUNGER GENERATION is a 1985 film, centering around Dr. Jeremy Lodge(Jamie Gillis), a Psychologist specializing in incest. The Author of a book, titled, Incest: The Family Taboo , Lodge makes the rounds educating those about incest, and what could be the cause of it. He believing that adultery to be one of the main culprits. Besides making promotional tours, and doing things such as radio shows, the topic of incestuous relations is also the subject of weekly meetings between he and his patients(Among them, Barbra Scott and Joyce McBride from the saga's previous entries). But, no matter how morally correct Jeremy's life appears, it is just a thin veil for the inner turmoil within his own family. [read the full review]

Animal In Me, The (Standard Digital) review summaries:
fu_q's
When a hot-to-trot, divorced romance writer (Colleen Brennan) goes on a sexual tear sating one carnal desire after another, she ends up bedding not only her rough-around-the-edges boyfriend (constantly) but also both her secretary (Heather Wayne) and, ultimately, her daughter's (Karen Summer's) long-sought love interest. Of course, this all doesn't play well for her daughter, and just how things will work out for the lot of them remains the burning question of the day. Such is the case in "The Animal in Me", a very good, 1985 release from Standard Digital and director Kirdy Stevens. [read the full review]

Playing With Fire (Standard Digital) review summaries:
fu_q's
All holy, sexual hell breaks loose when a standoffish, single, working mother and secretary (Candy Cummings) marries the big-pimpin' ladies' man of the office (Randy West) who has been pursuing her, only to have it ultimately come to light that he previously fucked one of her daughters (Brooke West). Of course, awkward doesn't nearly describe the familial interactions that ensue as Brooke's and Randy's attempts at keeping their prior encounter a secret unravel...nor does it adequately describe the chicanery, deception, infidelity, and quasi-incest that follow. Such is the case in "Playing with Fire", an exceptional, 1983 release from Standard Video and famed director Kirdy Stevens. [read the full review]

Playing With Fire has never been as well known as some of Kirdy Stevens' other adult films, however, it deserves to be. Playing With Fire, like many of Stevens' film, plays with the taboo theme of family relationships and sexual attraction. The story in Playing With Fire is excellent and the cast does a great job with their roles. Playing With Fire is well worth watching. Standard Digital has done a decent job with their DVD release with decent video quality and a good audio presentation. [read the full review]

Taboo 5 (Metro) review summaries:
Diville's
Starring: Amber Lynn, Colleen Brennan, Porsche Lynn, Karen Summer, Lorrie Lovett, Shone Taylor, Jamie Gillis, Joey Silvera, Kevin James Johnathan Younger, Billy Dee. Directed By: Kirdy Stevens There are only a handful of adult films which can easily be called classics. Among them is Kirdy Stevens' Taboo. Despite the modern day Max Hardcores, Rob Blacks, and the other multitudes of directors who dispatch "extreme hardcore" to your local smut shop, Stevens' tales of consentual incest are as controversial now as the day he shot them. In fact, the Taboo series continues on, though it has left its incestuous subject matter far behind. Once though, incest porn was a strange little niche market and it wasn't uncommon to find stories of fathers getting it on with their teenage daughters, teenage sons seducing their mothers, or siblings exploring sexuality together. Does this make you uneasy? Queasy even? Well, I think it's supposed to...a little. Sometime after Taboo 5 this series eliminated the incest angle. [read the full review]
