Widow Blue! (1970) ** 1/2 (out of 4) Ultra bizarre film has lovers Eve (Susan Wescott) and Nick (Alex Elliot) agreeing to kill each other's spouses so that they can run off together. Even forces her brother to seduce Nick's bi-sexual husband and soon enough blood is flowing.Walt Davis' WIDOW BLUE! is without question one of the stranger hardcore films as it mixes in a bunch of sex with some rather gory violence. The film really does come across as your typical sex film but then out of nowhere it likes to throw is some Herschell Gordon Lewis style gore. If you're looking for something a tad bit different then this will be right up your alley but then again, all of Davis' films are rather strange.This one here really benefits from some bizarre scenes of violence. To be fair, there are only two scenes of violence but both of them are very well-done and features some extremely bright red blood that just leaps off the screen at you. There's no question that these scenes appeared to be influenced by the gore films of Lewis but of course you've also got hardcore sex scenes here.I thought Wescott was actually pretty good in her role as she was quite attractive and seductive. The film was obviously shot on a very low budget but if you're a fan of these types of films then it's worth watching.

SEX PSYCHO has it all, my friends - gore, sex (both gay and straight), necrophilia, incest - everything that a true sleaze fan wants from a classic trash film.Nick is cheating on his wife with Eva, a woman who's married to a bi-sexual guy named Jerry(!?). Nick and his mistress murder Jerry with the help of her simple-minded brother, Marshall, who seduces Eva's husband with some good ol' gay sex(!?!?). Nick and Eva walk in on the sword-fight session and Nick buries a meat cleaver in Eva's husband's neck(!?!?!?). Nick and Eva then get down to business on the bed right next to Jerry's corpse, and Eva even leans over to give a little post-mortem head to her newly deceased spouse(!?!?!?!?). Marshall goes out and gets a big black coffin and brings it back to their place, and Nick orders Eva and her brother to bone on it(?!?!?!?!?!). As the trio is disposing of the body, John Holmes and a broad come over and talk the killers into an orgy(?!?!?!?!?!?!?!). Once Johnny Horse-Cock and his gal-pal roll out, Nick's wife is then invited over so they can get rid of her too. Eva comes in the room as Nick is banging his wife, she goes to hack the wife with the cleaver, but it's a no-go as Nick's wife who is startled at seeing Eva standing over her chomps down on Nick's ding-ding, choking herself and killing him (?!?!?!?!?!!?!?!?!?)...SEX PSYCHO is a completely bizarre horror/porn entry that is equal parts cheezy H.G. Lewis-style blood-bath, and hardcore porn feature. Everything in the film is completely laughable so it's hard to take any of the sleazy going's-on too seriously, but I still credit the director for trying. Apparently, this film is quite rare as it never became popular (wonder why...) and was never given any wide-spread distribution. I have to say - if you're a fan of ultra-sleazy sex films, go ahead and hunt this one down. One of the better horror/gore porn films of the era - if you dig stuff like HARDGORE and HOUSE OF DE SADE, or bizarre porn hybrids like THUNDERCRACK!, you'll probably be feelin' this one too...8.5/10

When it was released, Sex Psycho wouldn't have been for everyone tastes even in the Grindhouse circuit. It could still be considered not to everyone's taste of the usual sexploitation / exploitation / Grindhouse / drive in / porn / themes. What Sex Psycho is, is simply uncategorisable within any one of these genres. Director Walt Davis goes about making sure his film sits firmly on the outside of the fence, thus explaining why his first movie was never screened officially in cinemas or on video. Which is such a shame because in contains all those elements from the above genres and brings some new ones to the proceedings as well. Homosexuality, necrophilia, incest, murder, adultery are some of the running themes looked at here. With the inclusion of the scenes of homosexuality, this would have simply caused the film to fail to get distribution among its much-deserved audience. As a porn film it doesn't fit into, traditionally, that category for mainstream pornography. Homosexuality and straight sex rarely feature together in any porn movie... both aim to reach two separate audiences. There are some exceptions to this underwritten rule, see for example the excellent porn classic 'The Opening of Misty Beethoven' directed by the master Radley Metzger (aka Henry Paris) or even his wonderfully, sexually liberating classic 'Score'. But I'm getting way ahead of myself... Sex Psycho was made several years before these movies and before hardcore pornography had become mainstream in cinemas. For that reason alone I respect Walt Davis and his unflinching stance at directing this mini classic and attempting to break down the barriers of porn before they even existed! That's right, Walt Davis was simply a porn pioneer attempting to pave the way forward for the genre. But of course, at the time, his values would have been the films downfall. As for many of the other themes mentioned above, they are wonderfully apt for this type of movie. Bad taste is prominent throughout it's running time, the 16mm film stock looks like it was stored in an open can, next to the spare wheel in the boot of Walt's car for a year before production. And the dialogue is just simply wonderful to the ears... In one of my two favourite scenes, Walt can be heard directing our two actors sex scene off camera! When they fluff their lines by talking over each other, Walt ask's them to say their lines again... then looking directly into the camera, exclaims for the second time "What was that noise"? I loved it!!! The other is simply the inclusion of the sorcerers apprentice musical score... played, hysterically during the scene when the couple are shagging on the same bed as the recently 'throat hacked' and departed husband. And then, if standards weren't low enough, I shall forever have a flashback, when watching Fantasia, of the woman, while having sex, leans over and gives her murdered husband a blow job exclaiming, to the distaste of her partner... "Well he couldn't keep it hard when he was alive!!!? Pure brilliance. I'm so thankful that this movie didn't get an official release because, one thing is for sure, that wonderful score would have not been included! Did Disney just say "TREASON!" This was the first Walt Davis film I have watched and I am looking forward to seeing other films offered by a director that, here, shows great promise and just what he is capable of creating. What follows, I'm sure, will be a more competent attempt allowing his mini masterpieces of bad taste a chance to find their rightful audience.

Much of this movie is pretty standard XXX stuff, kinda slow and boring, but it contains some outrageously sick bits. Fans of bad taste movies will love it; the rest of us will scratch our heads at the snoozy pacing and the obviously messed-up takes (when actors blow their lines, they just repeat them and go on with the show). The version I saw had no opening or closing credits. Can't say I blame anyone for keeping their names off this thing.
