In the weeks after The Blair Witch Project transformed from cult independent horror movie legend to Cinderella-story blockbuster, it seemed that everyone and his brother had their own copycat in the works. The Erotic Witch Project wins the dubious honor as the first finished parody out of the woods and onto home video. This silly soft-core spoof follows the adventures of three college girls who take a couple of video cameras into the woods to find the legendary erotic witch. After finding sex toys and anatomically correct stick figures mysteriously left outside their tents, their clothes are stolen (along with the map) and they wander naked through the woods, haunted by spooky sounds but too busy making out to worry about it. "I'm so horny, and I'm so scared at the same time," confesses one girl in a parody of Heather's famous direct confession in the original. Just for fun there's also a completely unexplained guy in a bad gorilla suit running around with a blow-up doll who picks up the camera when the girls are too busy getting it on to tape themselves. More ludicrous than funny, it's less a movie than high-concept (though low-budget) video centerfold, but once in a while the gags hit and for a few brief moments the parody actually works. --Sean Axmaker ...

Gladiator Eroticvs (2001) d: Bacchus, John
Erotic spoof of the Ridley Scott blockbuster from EI / Seduction Cinema. Darian Caine stars as a lesbian warrior who is taken prisoner, enslaved and later becomes the most feared and least clothed female gladiator performing in the Roman games. The video contains slapstick comedy similar to Howard Ziehm's late night cult movie Flesh Gordon (1974), Bob Clark's Porky's (1982) or Fred Olen Ray's Bad Girls From Mars (1990). It looks like the crew had a lot of fun during filming, unfortunately the humor too often gets in the way of the erotic action. ... . The all girl action makes it impossible to watch with the wife, and the high-school locker room comedy scenes keep it far from being a ... film, but the hot, ... naked women complete the visit. A strange movie that mixes off beat comedy, and erotic lesbian desires.

Eroticus Hilarious
The most hilarious rendition of the instant classic. You will laugh from beginning to end, especially if you watched the original. The make-out scenes aren't bad either. Cleverly done. Highly recommended!

The only good thing about this movie is Misty Mundae
Maybe I've seen too many of these John Bacchus movies from Seduction Cinema. I know how exceedingly silly and juvenile these films can be, so the completely farcical nature of Gladiator Eroticus was certainly not a shock to my system. I also know what kind of activities go on in these movies, and I just didn't find this one very erotic at all. This is disappointing given the fact that my three favorite Seduction Cinema starlets, Misty Mundae, Darian Cane, and Katie Jordan, are all featured herein. The story is simple, ludicrous, and relatively unimportant. Darian Cane plays Eroticus, the leading general of Rome, one who achieves victory on the battlefield in her own special way, one that does not involve armor or weapons or even clothes. The emperor wants her to be the next leader of the Roman people, but the emperor's idiotic son assumes the throne after he sort of kills his father. He orders the death of Eroticus, but she defeats her would-be killers (who are, fortunately for her, female), and escapes only to be captured and taught the ways of lesbian gladiator fighting. In this way she works her way back toward Rome with the goal of exacting revenge on the emperor.

Misty Mundae saves this movie from complete failure. She plays the sister of the new emperor, and he keeps her close to his side for the first two-thirds of the film. Once she finally has a chance to engage in the gladiator-like activities taking Rome by storm, the movie becomes much better. This is actually a rather large-scale project for the Seduction Cinema folks; all this really means is that there are more actors than usual included in the cast and that the whole Roman army, instead of numbering a handful of soldiers, seems to consist of about twenty people. This is unquestionably a bare-bones sort of production. Almost all of the action takes place out in the open, and computer-generated Roman-looking buildings are supposed to make us envision Rome itself as the setting. The plot itself pretty much stinks, coming pretty close to giving Mistress Frankenstein a run for its money in terms of its rottenness. Bacchus got some of his jollies with the idea of a "vomitorium" this time around, and this does not help his cause. One thing about this film particularly galls me, though. The voices of Darian Caine and Jade DuBoir are dubbed over with some he-man-sounding female voices which sound utterly ridiculous. I really can't recommend this film to anyone besides Misty Mundae fans; she is much too good for a movie this ridiculous.

Fun Film
As other reviewers have pointed out, this movie is an erotic spoof of Gladiator.

This is a VERY low-budget movie. It's like a group of friends got together to have some fun acting the plot out. I wasn't expecting anything here. I was assuming it would be something mindless. It turned out not to be totally mindless.

The humor is extremely silly - beyond what you might in Airplane! or Naked Gun. There are a few good moments which I don't think I should state in a place which can be viewed by all ages. I'm tempted to make comparisons with the director Ed Wood, but that could be a little misleading since he never did porn. There is plenty of overacting and bad dialogue. ...but it's fun.

Even with the bad jokes, there is a plot here. The weapons are plastic toys. The main female gladiator fights don't really involve weapons. Two women approach each other and then they quickly touch each other in a sexual manner or move their tongues rapidly. Most of the fights are orgies - all girls. No men involved. There are a few traditional gladiator type fights, but they're just there to move the story along. I could have done without the vomit scene.

For me, the movie was enjoyable, but not a classic. I simply viewed it as a Gladiator spoof with some sex added in. I liked it because I studied Latin and Roman culture in college, and it was neat to see this type of a production on that subject. ...even if it may not be 100% (or even 40%) historically accurate.

There is a nice interview with Misty Mundae included. ...a normal interview. Just comments about her daily routine and a few things about the production.

Doesn't even deserve a rating!! These guys suck!!
I bought one of the other flicks they made at one time. It was so bad i took it back to the store. I said it was dammaged to get a store credit and got something else. The production , acting, script and look of that film was so bad it made Jess Franco's Ilsa The Wicked Warden look like The Titanic. What really made me angry was that the flicks these guy make only shows the women topless and thats it! No real sex or anything! STAY AWAY FROM THESE GUYS. Buy a vivid movie, at least they deliver the goods!!! ... Read more

Fire bad, and so is this movie
Mistress Frankenstein was a major disappointment. It's all well and good to intentionally make a spoof film as bad as possible, but this movie is just absurdly, ridiculously bad. Darian Caine plays Baroness Helena Frankenstein, a cold-hearted, cold-blooded, sexually repressed prude. Her husband Dr. Frankenstein still loves her despite her lack of warmth (and other things), and he naturally tries to bring her back to life when she is accidentally killed. Unfortunately, her brain was damaged in the accident. The doctor orders his servant Igor to fix it, but Igor ends up losing it and secretly replacing it with a brain he bought at the body parts store dirt cheap. When Mistress Frankenstein reawakens, she is a sex-crazed lesbian and starts seducing everyone woman she meets.

This movie is just really, really bad. The acting is over the top and back again, there's some kind of laugh track inserted for the servant Igor (seemingly a silly, twisted version of Paul Lynde), all of the incredibly annoying townspeople are named Karl, the horse in the movie is two guys in a costume, the wretched gorilla Kimbo puts in a cameo, Darian is forced to walk and talk like the original Frankenstein's monster, and-with the exception of Miss Caine and Heidi Christine-the featured actresses are hardly worth looking at. I actually considered fast forwarding through some of the scenes. Unfortunately, I could go on and on listing the dumb things that make this movie almost painful to suffer through. Unless you're a huge Darian Caine fan, there's really no reason in the world for you to watch this movie.

SENSELESS but the sex is great.
I'm not even goin' to lie to you. MISTRESS FRANKENSTEIN is the most senseless film I've have ever seen! ALthough, I would say, that it is far better than a MAX after dark special, the MAX after dark films at least have a storyline and a plot. The lesbianic scenes are fantastic. The first, second, and fourth are my favorites. But that's just me. If you decide to buy this film, buy it for the sex not for to sit through and watch because that would be torture!

Complete waste of money
The girls in this movie (with the possible exception of the star) are not attractive in the least, and that's putting it nicely. I couldn't even stomach the sex scenes. To think that for the price of this DVD I could have paid for a month of Cinemax, or ordered 3 or 4 pay-per-view movies. The average pay-per-view soft-core is far better quality. I thought about giving it two stars because some parts were funny, but they weren't that funny. Save your money and get one of the Eros series from Playboy, such as Web of Seduction.

MISTRESS FRANKENSTEIN
MISTRESS FRANKENSTEIN works as both an erotic adult film and as a parody of the classic horror movie "Frankenstein." The wife of Dr. Frankenstein is killed in a "horse riding accident," and so he decides to bring her back to life by using another woman's brain to replace that of his deceased wife's...but the new brain once belonged to a lesbain nymphomaniac and now it has transformed Dr. Frankenstein's wife into a lusty, woman loving sex machine. Darian Cane is as hot and sexy as ever in the role of Dr. Frankenstein's wife and the girl-on-girl scenes in this film are extremely steamy. This is a future low-budget adult film classic in the making.

It's "Frankenhooker" For The New Millennium!
I showed this movie at a party and everybody loved it! Thanks to the twisted sense of humor of John Bacchus and the incredible performace of actress Darian Caine, this film goes way beyond your average "T&A" fare. It's funny, sexy, and full of all the stuff you want to see. "Frankenhooker" is one of my all-time favorite films, and this really reminded me of it. Side 2 of the DVD contains a lot of outtakes and "making of" footage, making it well worth the low asking price. ... Read more
