» » ESP: Extra Sexual Perception (1998)

Short summary

Damon is a down-on-his-luck commercial photographer scratching for every mundane, boring job he can get just to survive. To underscore his plight we see him shooting publicity photos of a business woman with dental braces as we are introduced to him at the story's beginning. To make matters worse his live-in girlfriend announces that she is moving back in with her parents. He hooks up with an art gallery owner who fulfills both his sexual and professional needs, at least temporarily. Then comes his epiphany: he realizes that when he looks through the lens of his camera, he sees not only the sexy model who is there, but also her ultimate goals and aspirations that she doesn't know, herself. Will his newfound "extra sexual perception" play into a plan to get his old live-in lover back, or will he be happy in the gallery owner's bed?

    In the opening scene one gets the unmistakable feel of a home movie. Does anybody here remember "Super 8mm film?" So much for the cinematography. Most of the characters are overdone stereotypes, beginning with Damon Bradshaw (Steven Curtis Boe who is portrayed in the sleaziest possible manner as the out-of-luck artist. The gangster characters, as portrayed, would bring a grin to the face to any real self-respecting crook. The dialog used to portray the street characters makes the grunts of the WWF sound Shakespearean. How many ways can we say "overdone?"

    If you can buy into the "ESP" gimmick (see the plot summary), the plot has possibilities. Requirements of a plot in this genre are, of course, minimal. It just has to create some semi-plausible occasions for a beautiful woman to take off her clothes and perhaps simulate copulation with some other scantily-clothed person of either gender. ESP makes good on this expectation. Lorissa McComas (as Monica) and Sage Kirkpatrick (as the unnamed exotic dancer) are the more experienced providers of the nude scenes, although their roles are small. With half a dozen other actresses, whose names you probably do not know nor will long remember, chipping in to do their parts, there is no shortage of exposed female skin.

    Farrah Fawcett's very attractive cousin, Jan, is the key performer of interest in this show. She has Farrah's curly hair and voice plus a good set of knockers to show off, but her acting talents aren't so great. The film seems very rushed because Jan tends to smile a bit crooked without some retakes to fix it. The premise would make excellent comedy material for late night cable, but instead we have a depressing erotic crime thriller about a photographer who meets art gallery owner Jan and discovers her magic stone that can see the erotic sex lives of anyone he touches or an object they touched. Unfortunately, her greed in exploiting his new powers gets him in trouble with gangsters for making photos of their secret crime plans. An improvement might be a sequel beyond softcore called X Rated Sexual Perception!
