Peekarama: Afternoon Delights / Slave of Pleasure review summaries:
Flash's
Vinegar Syndrome has, yet again, put out a beautiful release of classic adult films with this entry in their long-running Peekarama series. This entry features two very different films from prolific adult film director Shaun Costello. Afternoon Delights is one of the best of the vignette films that was ever made by the adult film industry and Slave of Pleasure, the third and final entry in the Dan McCord series, is a hokey detective tale. This release is worth picking up for Afternoon Delights alone. Vinegar Syndrome has done a beautiful job with the audio and video quality on this release. [read the full review]

Dracula Exotica (TVX) review summaries:
Flash's
Dracula Exotica is a fun film from the beginning of the eighties. It combines a fun original story, with nicely done sex scenes, great locations, and some light comedy to create a film that is definitely worth checking out. The release from TVX Home Video is sadly very poor and is not worth picking up. [read the full review]

A simple yet sumptuous Shaun Costello film that sadly feel through the cracks gets a typically sub-par DVD issuance. At least it's uncut. [read the full review]

Dominatrix Without Mercy (Alpha Blue Archives) review summaries:
Flash's
Dominatrix Without Mercy is a roughie that was made by Shaun Costello for the Avon cinema chain. This isn't one of the better roughies to have been made during the 70s, with no real plot just the gritty sex. Alpha Blue Archives has done a decent job with the release with the transfer coming from an actual film print. [read the full review]

110 Volts Of Torture review summaries:
Flash's
110 Volts of Torture is a relatively poor compilation from Alpha Blue Archives. There are two movies included on the disc, Shaun Costello's Daughters of Discipline, which is missing at least 20 minutes of footage and isn't in great shape and Terry Sullivan's Young Girls in Bondage, which is such a bad film I am not sure how any masters managed to survive. The disc is poorly authored as well. There are three loops included on the disc, all in poor shape and all nasty and vile and hard to watch. I can't recommend this release for anyone.

Afternoon Delights (Caballero) review summaries:
Flash's
Afternoon Delights is an excellent vignette feature film from prolific golden age director Shaun Costello. Costello put as much work into the non-sexual portions of the film as the sexual portions of the filmmaking Afternoon Delights feel, even though the sex scenes really aren't connected, like they all are connected and that the film is one continuous story. Afternoon Delights is well-worth watching. Caballero has done a less than stellar job with their DVD release of Afternoon Delights with an underwhelming video sourced transfer. [read the full review]
