CHATSWORTH, Calif. - Director B. Skow's new Vivid feature Miles From Needles stars contract girl Savanna Samson in a scenario that plays like an homage to '70s roughie porn and exploitation flicks.
"Savanna plays a girl who is in a lesbian relationship behind her boyfriend's back," Skow begins. "The boyfriend catches them in bed together and forces the girlfriend to watch him fuck Savanna - it's a really intense scene. They wind up killing him, freaking out and taking off - just driving. They end up 10 miles outside of Needles, California on the highway where they get pulled over by a cop, played by Evan Stone. He arrests them, but it turns out he's not really a cop - he and Kimberly Kane are two freaks who take them to their lair."
That's just the beginning of the insanity. Stone's character has a meth lab in the basement, where strung-out sex slaves perform in videos for his porn website. And James Deen plays a retard role straight out of Ted Post's '70s sleaze classic The Baby or the underrated Sonny Boy, as a demented man-child who's been raised to believe he's a girl.
Skow told AVN the movie had to go through Vivid's legal department twice.
"Going back and forth with the legal department, I had to take out a couple of things," the director said. "There's a lot of weird stuff in it - I really like Rob Zombie's movies, and it has that kind of feel."
Skow shot Miles From Needles in two 17-hour days. "The cast and crew was really into it and loved the script," he said. "Savanna and everybody else gave their full energy from start to finish; Kimberly Kane is unbelievable in it, Steven is great and Evan Stone is really good, too."
Samson appears in four of the movie's seven hardcore sex scenes. Her co-stars include April Blossom as the lesbian girlfriend, Maria Bellucci as one of the meth freaks and Brian Surewood.
AVN says check it out.
