It's a shame that director Cash Markman has been resigned to making titles for studios like Visage Films. His
Sensual Image movie (which he wrote and directed) might have gotten some notice had it been made on a slightly bigger budget for a studio like Wicked, Vivid or one of the other premier adult studios for couples-themed features.
Instead, we get Markman's movie on a bare-bones DVD, with no extras whatsoever, only average video and below average audio. Of course, that turns the movie into a strictly rental-only option (or VOD, if that's your preference), but thankfully Cashman's story and the sex he shoots is still worth checking out.
Cashman does a great job casting here, as he picks adult's two top male actors (not only from a sex standpoint, but from an acting one) in his lead roles: Randy Spears and Evan Stone. Randy plays a man who has lost his wife (whom is played by Brooke, who joins Randy in the opening sex scene) and goes to a psychic to try and make contact with his lost love.
The psychic is played by busty blonde Nikki Hunter, who quickly gains Randy's trust (and his money!) by showing him images of his dead wife through a crystal ball. Evan is quite more skeptical of all this, and the banter between him and the other characters about the validity of what Nikki is doing is one of the highlights of the movie.
You're probably wondering by now where covergirl Taylor Rain fits in all of this. Well, she's only a supporting character in the movie - one who is part of a dream sequence that Randy has. Taylor does have one of the hottest scenes in the title, as she and Evan Stone team up for sex in a dungeon-like setting, and where she gets missionary in a sex swing, followed by some cowgirl (out of the swing) and anal in the doggy position.
In addition to the Brooke/Randy scene (at the beginning of the movie) and the Taylor/Evan scene (at the end),
Sensual Image also includes a girl/girl pairing between Nikki Hunter and newcomer Amy Reid; a scene between Delilah Strong and Evan; and a scene between Nikki and Randy. Of these three other scenes, the Delilah/Evan pairing is the best - with the two going at it on top of an air hockey table, and with the scene concluding with a oral/facial shot for Delilah.
As noted above, there are no extras whatsoever on the DVD, although a chapter selection is included. It's a shame, because while this is by no means a "great" adult feature, it has enough to keep your attention and keep you entertained for the movie's 79-minute running time.
When I first started reviewing adult movies, Cash Markman was putting out some of the most creative titles I got to watch. He's still just as creative...now if only a decent studio would allow him to show them what he can do.
