Raquel Released Review

Reviewed by Comet Man  on  12/10/2001

I remembered why I hated Vivid videos. Here's their formula:
- make a nice looking sexy video cover w/ nice picture quality (which you'll never see on the DVD, even in the screenshots)
- throw in lots of old video clips as "bonus" material (the video quality sucks on the preview/bonus clips as well)
- recycle VHS tapes into DVDs (can't explain the video quality otherwise)

Anyways, I used to be a big Racquel Darrian fan. She has an amazing body (I think she still does through all the graininess of the video) and a nice face. Picked this up through a trade to see if Vivid was any better than it used to be.

Racquel walks into a club where another girl is flirting w/ the guys. She and this girl end up having sex in front of all the guys. The bar is dark and that screws up the video quality.

Guy at bar picks both girls up and brings them to his love shack (actually, decked out basement with really dark lighting) where his friends are all having sex. Girls get turned on and have sex w/ the guys there. It's always multiple girls per guy or girl-girl or guy-girl.

Another guy (Racquel's real-life husband) who was fantasizing about Racquel picks her up and takes her home to have sex...mostly in the dark (you can imagine how grainy the video is).

The movie itself is only about an hour.

Did I mention the video quality sucks? Even when Private has bad video quality, it comes out to be this level of Vivid video quality. I know they have to try to be artistic w/ nice sets, but that should never be at the expense of video quality. The audio is also dubbed with crappy music.

Overall rating: 3 thumbs down (I cut a thumb from a piece of paper to add to my thumbs).
