Fine performances by Aja and Jerry Butler highlight this well-made suspense feature from Stuart Canterbury, one of his better movies in the VHS era.

Under the opening credits is a very expert extended shot of the camera slowly panning around a room in closeup, ending up to show nude Aja waking up on a bed, with the shock of finding a nude blonde corpse lying beside her!

Story unfolds in a series of flashbacks, as Aja flees the scene and finds help from a talented psychic played by Jerry Butler. None of the silliness he usually brings to his roles is evident -instead Butler is quite convincing as a real psychic, not a phony trying to take advantage of Aja instead but instead hypnotizing her to get her to remember what happened that led to that opening murder scene.

It's about a love triangle involving Aja's employers, played by Cameo and Steve Drake, with Taylor Wayne cast as a heavy for a change as The Other Woman. Filling out the cast are a bevy of sexy women, but the main focus is on the principal players, and Canterbury maintains solid suspense right through to an exciting climax.

It's a pleasure to watch an early '90s porn feature that doesn't jerk the audience around but delivers a solid story to support the XXX content.
