Co-directors Sal Genoa and Su take Anabolic into new territory with a bold and stylish hybrid. Artcore, subtitled "House of Whores," combines a feature aesthetic with edgy, ultra-nasty sex. It's dark. It's moody. And the imagery will surprise you as each scene blends into the next one at an occasionally thrilling pace.

The cast - led by rising stars Roxy Jezel, Nautica Thorn and Gia Paloma - delivers explosive performances. Roxy, whose exotic makeup looks fantastic, climbs out of a treasure chest to join Katsumi and Joel Lawrence in the opening threeway, ending with a double cum swap.

Then Gia Paloma and a disguised Belladonna meet for a major-league strap-on scene in a dimly lit hallway before Paloma takes Alberto Rey up her ass.

Before viewers catch their breath, Roxy, rising to the occasion as a super whore, walks into two gritty blowjobs in the rain. The sequence is excellent - pre-nom the threeway and the b.j.

Thorn, meanwhile, commands the fourth scene with Eva Angelina, Chiquita Jones and the busy Rey. After he pops, Thorn bolts for the bathroom, where she blows Tony T. and then gets a swirly. Pre-nom it for Most Outrageous Sex Scene.

Add pre-noms for Best All-Sex DVD, Best Director, Roxy for Female Performer and Nautica for Best New Starlet.
