On IMDb, the first message about this movie says, “Before Virgin, I never put much stock in the idea of a cursed production. Take a film like Incubus. Just because the director’s nephew died, the production company went belly up, and Roman Polanski and Sharon Tate attended the premiere. Those could all just be coincidences. Shit happens. But with Virgin, you could just smell the vapor of evil clouding the set. It didn’t help that our chief investor was a ranking member of the Church of Satan. In the end, we tallied three overdoses, a maimed-for-life set designer, bankruptcy and a car bombing (sort of). Even the film itself disappeared. Not just the prints. The film lab burnt down, and we lost the negative. All I’ve got left is the nine-minute opening, and the sound-sync is fucked.”

This is attributed to J.X. Williams, who also lists movies like Peep Show, Psych-Burn, Satan Claws and The 400 Blow Jobs on his IMDb credits before getting into Experiments In Terror, which were 2000s video releases. 

Sounds like a great story. But just seconds into this and I recognized footage taken from the adult movie Devil’s Due, all before this descends into using psychedlic images from a variety of movies, including a red colored version of the audience scene at the end of Opera, some of the trippy moments in A Lizard In a Woman’s Skin and the end, well, that’s Lynn Lowry in I Drink Your Blood. 

And hey, J.X. Williams was the name Ed Wood used to write dirty books.

According to Letterboxd, he’s really Noel Lawrence, who edited Triple Fisher: The Lethal Lolitas of Long Island.

It’s interesting, even if it doesn’t live up to the story surrounding it. But how often does that happen?
