This isn't traditionally the time of year for big releases from adult studios, and Wicked's
The Oracle is far from a big-budgeted epic. But it is the best Kaylani Lei movie we've seen since her appearance in
Curse Eternal and one of her best acting performances as well. Add that to some nice direction by Francois Clousot and a nifty story by former pornstar Melissa Monet, and you get one of the better couples-themed DVDs we've seen so far in 2008.
Kaylani stars as Cassie, a young woman who has teamed up with her boyfriend (Barrett Blade) to con people out of money by pretending to be a psychic. At the opening of the movie, she's visited by Brooke Banner, who is desperately trying to make contact with her now-dead lover. Kaylani pretends to make contact with him, only to break off the contact, insisting that Brooke return later...with more cash in hand, of course!
To celebrate their latest con, Kaylani and Barrett have sex together in a session that ends with him popping on her ass. But Kaylani is starting to have mysterious flashes...both of an old man and of her in an orgy. Is it possible she is having real psychic visions? Read on, porn fans....
Out and about, Kaylani notices an elderly man following her (Randy Spears in some nifty age makeup). She finally corners him at a local café, and Randy turns over to her "The Oracle," a medallion which Kaylani is about to discover has very unique powers. On her way home, Kaylani starts receiving more flashes about the orgy - so powerful that she has to stop and feel herself up because she is so overcome with passion (and horniness!)
The next day, Brooke returns to see if Kaylani can contact her husband. But this time, Kaylani is under the influence of The Oracle and her body actually is taken over by Brooke's dead husband. Kaylani morphs into the form of Derrick Lee and has sex with Brooke - which, like the first scene, ends with a pop-shot onto the ass. This was one of the parts of
The Oracle in which I think Director Francois Clousot missed a golden opportunity. It would have been cool to see the scene flash back and forth between Derrick having sex with Brooke and Kaylani doing the same, but alas, we don't get to see any lesbian action between the girls in this scene, although technically they're the ones actually getting it one with each other.
Kaylani tries to explain the powers of The Oracle to Barrett, and he winds up taking the medallion back to bed with him, where it transports him into a sexual threesome with Eva Angelina and Ryder Skye. After getting blowjob action from both of them, Barrett spoons Ryder, then gives missionary to Eva while Ryder is sitting on her face. Barrett also pounds Ryder in the missionary position, and the climax has Barrett attempting to shoot his wad on both girls' faces, although it's Eva who gets almost all of the goo. Sadly, the sexual romp that The Oracle provides comes with a price - as Barrett is struck dead shortly after he cums.
After discovering Barrett's lifeless body, Kaylani tracks the old man down once again, telling her that she doesn't want The Oracle. But as the old man points out to her, it's The Oracle that has chosen her, not her that has chosen it. The two argue for a bit, and then the power of the medallion sweeps them both away into a scene where Randy has a threesome with Roxy Deville and Brooke Haven, while Kaylani watches. Randy's threesome ends with the best cumshot of the movie, as he dumps a healthy load down into both girls' mouths and faces. As with Barrett's scene, the sex has a price, as The Oracle's powers end the life of Randy's character.
Kaylani's sex session is next, and it's a foursome with India Summer, Chris Cannon and Marcus London, although there's not really any contact between the two ladies until the very end of the scene. As with most foursomes of this nature, the guys basically take turns with each of the women in various positions, ending with Marcus jerking into India's mouth, and Chris unloading into Kaylani's mouth. The girls kiss and cum swap at the end of the scene. However, unlike the previous scenes where the men were killed after their sexual sessions, Kaylani doesn't die, but instead finds out that she is now "The Oracle".
As is the case with all their feature releases these days, Wicked presents
The Oracle in 16x9 anamorphic with 5.1 Dolby Digital sound. However, I did note some compression and artifact issues with the video that prevent me from giving it a perfect rating.
Extras on the DVD consist of a 24-minute behind the scenes featurette (in the full-frame format); an anamorphic 3-mintue bonus scene between Kaylani and Chris Cannon taken from the release of
Rise; slide shows, promo materials, and a handful of trailers for other Wicked titles, including front-loaded trailers for
Once Upon A Crime and
The Artist.
Because this isn't one of those big budgeted, highly promoted releases, it's doubtful Kaylani's performance here is going to be remembered come awards time at the end of the year, but I'll throw the idea out there anyway. She does a fine job in this movie, and couples looking for something with a paranormal edge to it should certainly enjoy their visit with
The Oracle.
