EDWARD D. WOOD Jr. is back in WORST OF THE WORST!!!
And this time, in his own special way, he shows us exactly just how close people can come to having sex, without having it!!!
It's been said that in ED's final days he was nothing but a pornographer. But this film proves that wrong. If this is pornography, then pornography is not about sex, cause they just don't have it...
This time our flick is:
NECROMANIA
Apparently Ed made this ditty for his usual exorborant budget of $7000 back in 1971.
Billed as "a weird tale of love", basically it's about a couple who are having maritial difficulties, although they say they are not really married, who go to the house of a Necromancer to have some sort of cure affected on them.
After being informed they cannot see the Necromancer until midnight, they are shown to a room where they have, for lack of a better word, sex. Of course the guy has his problems and she is not satisfied so goes for a wander.
In basic porn style, although at no time does anyone REALLY engage in any form of intercourse (oral, anal or even straight forward coitus), the plot goes on with the various principals having, again for lack of a better word, sex with each other and at one point a skull. At midnight the couple are brought before the Necromancer and the girl graduates with flying colours and is told to live her life 'only for sex'. The limp wimp is thrown in a coffin with the hot necromancer...
The cast includes Paul Marco from many of Wood's previous flicks and porno princess Rene Bond. But if you ask me, the real star of the show is Criswell's coffin...
I am given to understand that there is a HARDCORE version of this flick, with additional hardcore footage shot by a guy named Ted Gorley, but the version I saw was the one from SOMETHING WEIRD VIDEO(which also had a cut down version of Ed Wood's Love Feast on it). And although I'd love to get my hands on the Hardcore version (hint hint), I'm not sure longer sex scenes would be an improvment on this flick. They are kinda long and drawn out as it is, but it is fun to see just how close to giving felletio a girl can get without doing it. And the only scary thing about this flick is how the guy stays so soft with someone licking that close....
