The film begins with a visually stunning title sequence that not only identifies the cast but also gives you a good idea of Blake's visual style. Following the titles, there's a 16-minute m

Review brief: House of Dreams (1990) Studio: DaViD Entertainment/Caballero Directed by: Andrew Blake Starring: Zara Whites, Danielle Rogers, Jeanna Fine, Saber, Nikki Wilde, Raven, Veronica Dol, Valerie Stone, Ashlyn Gere, Ashley Lauren, Rocco Siffredi, Randy West, Randy Spears, and Sebastian Running Time: 1:15 Format: Single Sided, Single Layer DVD Features: None The First Word: House of Dreams is one of my favorite Andrew Blake films, and one of the early films by that landmark adult director. Unfortunately, like most Blake and Cameron Grant films, the low quality transfer severely detracts from one of the best adult films of its era. Plot Synopsis: As is Andrew Blake's style, House of Dreams is a series of vignettes, or independent scenes, with very little plot and no dialogue. There's a very loose theme that ties all of the vignettes together, but otherwise, there's no plot. It's more like a hardcore photo fantasy, with beautiful women in beautiful surroundings.
