Part of the Viv Thomas Collection, Maid to Fuck is an assortment of sex scenes set to the model of horny housekeepers, and it illustrates five such pairings (two of which are of the lesbian variety). Starring bitches with accents and names you've never heard, the Euro-vibrant potential is engrossing at the outset.

Sadly, the outing is ineffectual early-on, its couplings tame and without much applied or enthusiastic eroticism. But for Barbarella's opening scene, there isn't much hope for the collective cast's future: their motions are as formulaic as the structural flow, and the production elements are half-assed at best. Video is grainy and decidedly sub-standard (a few of the scenes may actually be VHS transfers!).

There is overwhelming aliasing, too, and one gets the distinct impression one is watching the porno off a screen within a screen. To that end – in part one – there is an onscreen adult movie playing in the background.

Perhaps it's a better one?
