Let’s face it, most adult movies these days don’t really take on greater human issues than the biological aspects of sex. Most industry filmmakers would stutter and fall were they to attempt to delve into the emotional or psychological components of the human condition. Michael Ninn, however, has never been most industry filmmakers.
So we should tell you up front that Sacred Sin rests far from typical adult fare. The story follows a woman (whom we presume to be real) that has been banished to an earthly estate after cursing God for allowing the death of her young child. Exclusive Ninn newcomer Heather Vuur plays this young bereaved woman, and when her husband (Jean Val Jean) finally decides to seek his physical affection in the form of fair Jassie, Heather decides to send them both to the non-mortal plane of her dead son. Jassie however doesn’t seem to make the trip and some time later we find her filling an erotic maidservant role as she “snatches” various individuals from rather more traditional roles in life, presumably to entertain Heather as she continues to lament her eternal fate.
Enter Nick Manning, playing Detective Welch, a police officer charged with attempting to solve the bizarre kidnappings, all the while dealing with the murder of his own wife and child. In typical Ninn fashion, demons emerge and special effects abound, but in essence Sacred Sin remains the story of how we handle the pain of loss, the story of how our innermost sexual mechanisms help us cope, or give up faith completely. Add to this the musical genius of Eddie Van Halen and you have set the stage for some powerful storytelling in a most unusual manner for the adult genre.
Now the cast and productions remain quintessentially Ninn; the locales are stunning, as are the people playing the various roles here. But the physical “heat” very honestly present in Sacred Sin comes from a much deeper emotional area than we’re used to in XXX. Clearly we don’t always watch adult movies because we want to think a lot, but if exercising your brain holds an interest for you too, this might be worth a look.
[It probably goes without saying, but you may feel free to exercise other parts of your body while enjoying Sacred Sin too. In fact, include a partner or two if the mood strikes you.]
