If there were ever a dictionary definition of "art house porn," Descent would fit it to a tee.  Based on the poetry of porn star Aiden Shaw (who is also the video's central character), Descent follows one man as he struggles -- literally -- between heaven and hell.

Stylishly directed by veteran director Steven Scarborough, the video plays very much like a dream, with flowing forms and stark images.  Great Gregorian Chants echo throughout the piece, which is filled with some beautiful men and terrific sex.

Marcus Iron plays Shaw's salvation, and the two have an electric scene together, chemistry igniting.  Then, Iron has an encounter with gay porn's hardest-working couple, Jason Branch and Blake Harper: Instead of wrestling for Shaw's soul, they fuck for it.

This won't be to everyone's taste, and many viewers will be confused by the surreal story-line.  But Shaw looks hotter than ever, and framed by all the other beautiful men and explosive sex (particularly an opening foursome that begins with Shaw's head being shaved), most viewers will look past the story and get right to the meat.
