Introduction, Story Synopsis :

A relatively new feature from Wicked, 'The Exhibitionist' is split in 2 parts, from which I've seen only Part 1 (and I'm honestly not waiting for the second one)..

While Michael Zen may have had his high point with the award-winning 'Blue Movie' and 'Satyr' both starring Jenna Jameson, this rather cheap shot-on-video production is not going to win him any new fans. People who start drooling at the very thought of Steph Swift (which I'm not part of) might be interested by this movie though.

Steph plays a girl named Daisy, who does nothing all day but stay inside and surf on the internet, until she gets in contact with a spellbinding man named Marcus (Herschel Savage) in cyberspace and soon enough he calls her on the phone and they start a master-servant relationship where she exhibits herself in public places, or needs to spy on other people having sex on his command. At the end, she is part of Marcus' porn website, where people can watch her masturbate and have sex all day, having become the ultimate exhibitionist.. The 'social issues' component of the screenplay (by award-winning screenwriter Raven Touchstone who wrote 'Bad Wives') touched upon by Zen in the making-of docu is never developed, indeed most of the 86 minute-running time is filled by various sex scenes. The acting is relatively solid here, though Swift is not strong enough for a leading role, in my opinion.

Sex Scenes :

1)We start off almost immediately with goth lesbians Rayne and Nakita Ka$h who lead into a boring scene where pussy eating and some toy/strap-on fucking are all part of the game. This scene has nothing to do with the plot and, without any motivation for the subsequent sex, I wasn't interested, moreso since both women are not exactly lookers.

We get a few moments of Steph alone with her papier-maché mannequin 'Sebastian' (somewhat spooky, that one) where she almost begins to masturbate. There are several such scenes in the movie, probably to enforce the idea of her social isolation.

2)As Steph watches (and fingers herself) outside, Chris Cannon and Anastasia Blue share some quality time inside a deserted shack. Now this woman is DIRTY! I have never seen such a disturbing blowjob as this one before. She uses so much drool that she has to suck it in again every few seconds. Watch the making of video for some seriously twisted moments! She almost gags on Cannon's cock several times.. not really couple's material (unless you're Pam Anderson and Tommy Lee, maybe?). We then get a lot of frenzied humping, interrupted by some cunnilingus until the inevitable cumshot which surprisingly enough is no facial. We cut back to see some bubbles on Blue's face though, though I don't know if this is drool or cum.

3)Having been told to sleep on a chair in an empty motel room, Steph wakes up to see Evan Stone have sex with Jessica Drake on the bed nearby, with the latter being decorated with red roses. Looks pretty.. She joins in for an okay threesome, with a DP (dildo in her puss and Evan's dick in her butt) and a cumshot to both ladies' breasts (with a nice kiss) included. This scene is okay, but I liked it better before Steph joined in the fun.

4)In a bathtub, Eric Everhard (I think) eats out Steph, who reciprocates with a BJ, and we get a standard scene that is filmed in a standard porn sort of style. Nothing special, really.

5)Having gained entrance to Herschel's villa, Steph (again..) is bathed by maid Sydnee Steele, and both go at it immediately, with some nice clit-licking and finger-fucking. Though this is another scene that doesn't stand out, it's not terrible either.

6) After a brief BJ given to Herschel by Sydnee (who wears a nice leather corset), some dialogue follows and we get to the final sex scene, which is a threesome between Steph, Sydnee and Herschel. I must admit that I fast-forwarded (as with almost every sex scene here), since I'm tired of seeing both Herschel and Steph Swift at this time.

All in all, not a very eventful spectrum of sex scenes here.

The DVD :

Video and audio are not very good : though the transfer may be correct, the dialogues were sometimes recorded too low, and the cheap video quality of the camera work lies with the original equipment. Music is mostly terrible, and the editing is pretty basic stuff. Though Wicked do everything they can to push Zen's talents in his bio (included on the DVD), they are not in evidence here.

For fans of behind-the-scenes videos, you get a 28-minute segment that is halfway interesting but nothing compared to the 'Conquest' or 'Flashpoint' style docus.. it is too jumbly assembled without any real coherent structure.

Apart from trailers, the biography section (read by a female voice, I think it's Serenity) is interesting enough, though there may be a bit too much praise heaped upon the starlets and the director.

You also get a boring photo gallery, and the usual stuff (trailers etc.)

Conclusion :

I was profoundly bored by this video, not that I was expecting 'Gone With the Wind' but I think Wicked could have passed this one up for DVD release. There are enough good titles on the shelves, don't waste your time with this dud (even consummate Steph fans will find her in lots of other videos and DVDs).
