Sex with a Stranger (1986)

Directed by:
"Cris" (Chris) Monte

Here's the hardcore spoofof Agatha Christie's Ten Little Indians you've been waiting up nights for. After receiving a note and half of a thousand dollar bill in the mail, seven strangers are lured to a remote mansion. No host is there to greet them but whoever it is has left a note asking them to spend the night and promises that he or she will reveal their identity in the morning. Until then, what are seven adults in an adult movie supposed to do? If you guessed play charades or watch TV, you would be wrong. First, let's meet our roster of suspects. First up is famous model Priscilla Vogue (Nina Hartley), who has been promised the cover of Glamour magazine if she shows up. Failed actor Trevor Fairbanks (Greg Derek) received half a script with the promise of a film role attached upon arrival. Dr. Rivameter (Keisha) - phD in poetry - received an invitation to a golf tournament. Clothing inspector Inspector #6 (Scott Irish) is told he can become Inspector #1. Prostitute Sugar (Ebony Ayes) and obnoxious hustler / shyster Sylvester "Slick" Rhodes (Randy West) both came just for the money. Joy (Sheena Horne) doesn't seem to have an identity but already had a thirteen minute long pre-opening-credit solo scene - which will try to patience of even the most avid porn watcher - so I guess that's not really important.

In between all of the sex scenes people begin mysteriously turning up dead. Inspector #6 is pushed down the stairs and Priscilla's vibrator short circuits ("She must have got electrocuted with the, uh, vibrator stuck in her pussy!") After Trevor drinks some poison wine, Joy turns to the female doctor and says in a monotone "You know, it just occurred to me that I don't really know you. It's like... you're a stranger" before the obligatory lesbian scene... which takes place on the same bed where two corpses lie! There's also an off-screen drowning, a spike through the head and a knife stuck in a back. It all leads up to a surprise ending. It's cheap (and shot-on-video, naturally), silly, has a few dumb laughs and there's lots of sex, so mission accomplished, I guess.

The video was released by AVC (Adult Video Corporation) and it's also on DVD on most adult sites. I did find a VHS box scan but it's too graphic to post here on this blog.
