Wow. Who would have ever thought that director Bionca, once the Queen of Nasty, could look so passé?

But going by Beyond Reality 7's five unmemorable vignette-like sex scenes - two fourways, a g/g threeway and two b/g pairings - Bionca is no longer on the cutting edge of hard-edged fare. Far from it. There is a definite Oldish School feel to much of the sometimes-well-energized-but-generic-nonetheless proceedings.

And there's not too much here that's "beyond reality" either. What little tricks we haven't seen before, including a speculum d.p. and a hot wax facial, seem gimmicky, outrageous for outrageousness' sake.

Maybe Bionca just had an uninspired shoot. We sure hope that's the explanation. And given her stellar track record, we're certainly willing to give her the benefit of the doubt.
