The trouble with art-house porn is too often the parties responsible for putting it together go heavy on the art-house frou-frou and forget about the porn.

The XXXorcist straddles the line between OK and insufferable. Points go to green goo spewed, but, essentially, the small cast and the drawn-out "exorcism" leans a bit toward the prosaic.

But maybe that's how they do things in "Noo Yawk."

On the other hand, introverted art fags and fagettes will probably dig this parody for some deeply existential reasons. Folks who just want to rub one out before crashing in a booze-addled stupor will be disappointed.

But, one thing is certain: The XXXorcist is different. It even has three different endings.

For that reason, it's worth a look.

Retailing: Art-house porn parody of a horror classic that never gets too arty or too pornographic.
