Wicked Pictures are the vanguard for well-produced, good-looking pornography – and their latest release, Se7en Deadly Sins, lives up to that reputation from the get-go.

Se7en doesn’t explain the concept behind the film – if any of the seven scenes included on the DVD correlate to a specific ‘deadly sin,’ it’s not explained exactly how. But the scenes themselves are intended to feel deliciously sinful. They’re all filmed in a similar style, using industrial/gothic sets and sharing mild elements of domination and submission.

The DVD kicks off with a scene in a scary dentist’s office, with porn stalwart Randy Spears molesting an all-too-willing Kaylani Lei. Kaylani looks mouthwatering in a little ‘Catholic schoolgirl’ skirt – and whimpers and purrs seductively as Randy teases her with dental implements and then fingers and fucks her vigorously.

The next scene involves a beautiful Latin lady (Rebeca Linares) ordering a muscular ‘luchador’ wrestler around on a leash, before demanding he service her vaginally and anally. After that, the luscious Daisy Marie, dressed up like Little Red Riding Hood, encounters a sleek and muscular engineer in some dark and steamy factory setting - and gets all greasy with him while bent over a rusty generator.

‘Sin’ is definitely ‘In’ as far as director Jonathan Morgan is concerned – he touches on the sacrilegious with a wedding scene set in a gothic church. In another scene, a sexy stud hallucinates while having sex with a seductive Latin girl; he suddenly flashes into fantasy to find himself hammering a horn-headed devil woman.

Each of the seven scenes is beautifully filmed and the production values are very high. The girls are uniformly gorgeous and, Kaylani especially, get down to business with infectious enthusiasm. If I did have criticism, it would be that the scenes tend to follow too strictly to the standard porn formula: oral, followed by vaginal and then (in about half the scenes) anal sex – and always followed by a cumshot to the face.

What with porn perennial Randy Spears appearing in the opening scene, the standard boy/girl lineup in every scene and the use of bright pink condoms throughout, the film’s fantastical elements end up a little watered down. Anybody who knows porn could sit down and watch a scene at random and still be able to tell, instantly, that this was a Wicked Production.

At the end of the day, I guess that’s why people buy films from Wicked. You’re guaranteed a well-made production on a slick, professional DVD that delivers exactly what it promises – without too many surprises. Se7en Deadly Sins is no exception to that rule.

Don’t get me wrong; it’s all beautifully produced, sexy stuff – but you can’t help wondering what it would have been like if Wicked Pictures had pushed the envelope on Se7en Deadly Sins just a little more.

As it is, Se7en’s combination of high production values, attractive stars and not-too-shocking sex make it the perfect DVD for couples or the more conservative porn connoisseur, despite the DVD’s ‘sinful’ pretensions. If you’re after authentic kink, however, you might want to look elsewhere.
