Sensation/The seducers is the definition of exploitation,
hot females, murder, hot females, outrageous plots oh and some hot females. The
film centres around a group on a small cruise, sounds like a rather average set
up. Wrong. The cruise is centred around the plot of mother attempting to cure
her son’s (Tony) mental illness by surrounding him with prostitutes, as what
better solution to a mental illness than a good old cherry popping? Am I right?
Surprisingly he hates his mother… strange, because I think she is doing a swell
job. Now I can hear all you pre-pubescent boys praying for your mum to take a
leaf out of that character’s book.
Anyway I digress, so this voyage of taking advantage
of the handicapped, stumbles across a strange deserted island, except it’s not
actually deserted, it’s inhibited by a man and wife (Beba). A wife which is way
out of his league, but hey choices are limited when you’re the only two fucking
people. So Tony randomly escapes to the
island, and manages to bump into Beba, and well the two kind of hit it off. So
the crew of the ship see her as a way to cure Tony, because you know as I said
before what’s better medicine than sex. So the crew take Beba on board and
treat her like the guest of honour, and have an overall swell time. Oh, and a
casual lesbian threesome? Did I forget that minor detail? What unfolds after
this a situational plot device of them attempting to get Beba alone with Tony,
while distracting the now present husband. But while everyone is distracted
with this lumbering fool of a husband they forget to notice that Tony has
killed his new love interest. I hate when I by accidentally kill my crush. This
is the catalyst to spin the film into a dark spiral of murder.
Overall the film is average, its plot is ludacris at
the start and makes little sense. But the last act of the film (when the murder
kicks in) is actually rather dark and interesting, and the last shot is damn creepy.
This is the perfect film to watch with a friend and have a good laugh, but it
is not by any mean a masterpiece to sit and have an intellectual discussion on
the plausible use of sex as a mental illness cure. Overall I give this film a
score of 4/10. I do have to give props
to Shameless Cinema though, for releasing this film especially with the amount
of scenes they have restored, and recommend this edition over any other way of
watching it.
