Dark Garden DVD Movie Blog
Dark Garden DVD Description: "If you are still you can hear it, the heart of corruption. If you try hard you can smell it, the musk of seduction. For the right price your fantasies can become reality, when reality has become your worst nightmare. Then you're in. The police won't help you, they're part of it. Your friends can't help you, they're hooked on it. You're on your own. Just close your eyes, take a deep breath and relax, just a prick then it's all over. Trust me..."

Starring: Jily Ashton, Vicca, Lean Martini, Mia Smiles, Lisa Belle, Julian.
I'm only going to say good things about July Ashton's looks because in terms of performance there's not much you can say when Michael Ninn is the director. The guy doesn't let the performers perform! He just poses them for those boring, endless, slow-motion shots that really get on your nerves. The guy should be doing photography for penthouse rather than porno.
This is one of Ninn's mega-productions with, of course, a retro look. This time around the movie starts with a film-noir rippoff. Julian and Tyce Bune are investigating some guy's murder in what looks like one of those PI novels of the 30's.
Every scene, as a result, has a 30's look for which Ninn invested lots of time and effort, but which, I'm afraid, does nothingto enhance the sex.
Really. Ask the hardcore raincoat audience: what would yourather seee? Chicks fucking or chicks dressed like in the 30's. The latter is not usually picked up.
And of course, the video has the typical techno music Ninn is so fond of. Of course, it also has the artsy-fartsy look he's famous for.
The typical Ninn bullshit: slow motion scenes, costumesand poses being more important than the sex.
But, to my amazement, apparently even Michael Ninn is not focusing on facials either. I've said this in a few other recent reviews:I have seen over 7 recent videos by VCA where there isn't a single facial. I am to assume this is a new VCA policy because if even Michael Ninn is not doing it, then it means something is up.
Juli Ashton. Maybe because she's a seasoned pro now and it's great to see her in action.
It takes quite a bit of time for the sex to actually start. Typical from a Michael Ninn video, but really not that helpful for the raincoat audience who has to FF through all of the dialog.
Great looking girls, I'll grant you that. But the posed sex and the overkilled artsy fartsy look really drags down the video. Deserves a 7.

Starring: Nikita, Vicca, Juli Ashton, Lea Martini, Lisa Belle, Mia Smiles, Julian, Kyle Stone, Tyce Bune, Decker, Ramon, Michael J. Cox, Jack Garfield.
The performances of star Nikita, Vicca and Juli Ashton are just superb and outstanding, gorgeous women and they produce awesome scenes. Mia Smiles and Lea Martini perfomed good as well.
Production values is actually pretty good. The whole movie plot is actually worth watching and listening too, but the only thing I wonder about is that the music doesn't seems to go along with the whole setting.
Eroticism is there but, the girls did a good job on there part acting it out, but it makes it less erotic with all the slow-motion stuff
The women!!! They make the movie worth watching over and over again.
The music and the slow-motions.
8. 5 movie, a must see movie if you a fan of this Russian combo of Nikita and Vicca.

Personal Review
Michael Ninn again creates an artistically edited work with plenty of gorgeous ladies and enough story to carry the sex, most of which includes anal scenes. This won AVN’s Best Video of the Year. The dark, eerie, ambiguous story has lots of flash back imagery and Jamie Gillis plays two twin brothers who have invented a digital device which turns the users into addicts who drives them insane or die from an over-dose. I don’t believe it’s his best work because the complex story is simply a bit boring, but still, a work of fine art and a must for any collection. PR 4
Sex Scene Sequence
1. The mayor’s son (Garfield) is a user and a red head (Vicca) delivers the goods as he trips out and ODs on techno ecstasy.
2. Nikita is the ‘Devil’s Advocate’ and the twin brother’s (Gillis) watches their best girl get DPed by ‘The Cities Finest’ (Stone & Cox).
3. Detective John White (Julian) is a user and trips out fantasizing about making it with his partner Detective Taylor (Julie). Anal.
4. Detective White visits a prison to question a user who has gone insane and he trips out watching the guy (Ramon) doing a blonde (Lea) in his cell. Anal.
5. The receptionist (Mia) is asked to entertain the eleven o’clock appointment (Decker) in the elegant office.
6. Cigar smoking lady with super short cut, blonde hair (Lisa) solos on the desk top before greeting Nikita at the door where all hell breaks loose. {Jack Cough’s Best Scene}
7. Detective White finally meets is fate with Nikita taking his soul while the evil twin abides him farewell.
