DUNGEON OF DESIRE

This 1999 film from Twilight Entertainment and Surrender Cinema was written by C. Courtney Joyner and directed by Rachel Gordon. Susan Featherly stars as Carrie, a photographer for “Playpen,” a men’s magazine. Amber Newman and Regina Russell Banali co-star as Vickie and Jill, a couple of nude models. The three of them have been sent to a castle in some unnamed foreign country, so Jill can take pictures of the ladies there for the magazine.

When they get there, they explore the castle, and in the dungeon they find an old chastity belt with a key. When Carrie tries to use the key to open the belt, the ladies are all somehow magically transport back in to the past. No exact year is mentioned, but it’s during a time when the castle was inhabited by actual royals.

The ladies are at first suspected to be witches, which would lead to them being imprisoned and executed, but with the quick thinking of the royal magician, Marcus (Burke Morgan), Carrie and Vickie are assigned to be Ladies In Waiting to the princess, while Jill is assigned to be a serving girl.

Mia Zottoli is Princess Gwendolyn, Eddie Jay plays Prince Eric, and Venessa Blair is Queen Aurora. But it’s a little confusing because Aurora is Eric’s aunt, so it’s unclear why she’s the queen, instead of Eric being the king. Eric says that Aurora sits on the throne due to a “fluke,” but the nature of it is not explain. Even more confusing is Gwendolyn is a princess, as she’s not related to either of them. In fact, Eric and Gwendolyn are in love with each other, but Aurora forbids them from seeing each other, because that would make Gwendolyn the eventual queen when Eric takes the throne, and Aurora is adamantly opposed to that ever happening. Later in the film Aurora makes Eric an offer to marry her, so he can finally be king (he refuses), so hopefully this means they’re only aunt and nephew be marriage, not biological.

Well, as they become close to the princess, Carrie and Vickie sympathize with her plight and scheme to help her and Eric be together, while also hoping to find a way back to their own time. But the queen is ready to kill anyone who doesn’t do her bidden.

So on the face of it, it’s decent plot. And along the way we get seven sex scenes.

First we get Princess Gwendolyn naked in a bath with an unnamed Lady In Waiting, played by Stella Porter. I guess it’s not really a sex scene, as it’s just the Lady washing the princess’ back.

But then Carrie and Vickie are introduced, and invited to join them, and this scene is more sexual, with kissing and rubbing.

Later we see Vickie and the other Lady In Waiting having sex in a bed.

Jason Schnuit plays the unnamed Captain of the royal guard. We see him and the queen having sex.

Thanks to the ladies, the prince and princess managed to secretly meet in a garden and have sex. While this is going on, Carrie and Vickie have sex in a room in the castle, to distract the Captain, who was supposed to be keeping the prince away from the princess.

There’s also a scene where many of the main cast have sex in a big room. The prince and princess have sex, while Carrie and Vickie have sex, and Jill has sex with Adam, a servant played by Steve Curtis.

There are several other scenes where various women get naked, such as an early shot of Vickie and Jill stripping and posing together as Carrie takes pictures, which takes place before they travel back in time.

I won’t spoil all the details (as if anyone cares about that) about how it happens, but in the end, the queen is defeated, Eric and Gwendolyn are free to be together, and Marcus figures out how to send Carrie, Vicki, and Jill are sent back to their own time, along with Adam, whom Jill has fallen in love with. So the film ends on a happy note, and even hints at a sequel, which, to my knowledge, never came to pass.

It’s silly, but fun. You know not to take a film like this too seriously. It’s got decent costumes, and all of the ladies are gorgeous. I’d give it a Chacebook rating of FOUR STARS, but only if you can see the unrated version. But that’s very rare. I can’t find it online, and even my usual contact, Jason Majercik only has the R-rated version available on DVD-R (for $19.99). But without the unrated sex scenes, I wouldn’t bother watching this film.
