Animal Instincts III (1996)

*Get the film on Amazon here*

Joanna (Alexander Keith as Wendy Schumacher) is a world renowned best selling author/sex expert. She is very famous, but still finds time to entertain the little people by having sex in public places with total strangers thanks to her chronic exhibitionism. She meets Alex (James Matthew), the world renowned blind record producer/knife thrower. Do you see the irony? An exhibitionist is dating a blind man! Don't the possibilities stun you? I am not giving anything away here, but Alex's blindness is fake, he is playing mind games with Joanna because...well, I don't know why and you won't care. Making Alex's character a record producer means Joanna gets to bed a bunch of musician stereotypes right in front of Alex, never questioning his poorly played infirmity.

Gregory Dark, renowned porn creator and Britney Spears' former music video director, brings little visual flair to the stupid script. The screenwriter tries to say something about the state of relationships, but his thought-provoking lines are delivered by actors who wouldn't get a callback for a kindergarten pageant about the importance of brushing your teeth. Also known as "Animal Instincts- The Seductress," this also lacks Shannon Whirry of the first two "Animal Instincts" films, replacing her with pouty Schumacher. Slight film, slight review.

I suspect this surface documentary was an excuse to tell the world how Stephen King felt about Donald Trump, and serves as King's coming...
