Uninspired But Decent Cheapie From Joe Davian...
EVOL66610 February 2010
Warning: Spoilers
I've seen a decent handful of Davian's films-most of which are pretty notable on some level or another. He's done everything from crime/thrillers to sleazy roughies-and most that I've seen are better than average. FETISHES OF MONIQUE-while not the worst in a long line of lame 'classic' porn films-definitely isn't anywhere near the best either...

The plot is about a female doctor who has concocted a serum for everlasting life-and of course sex. 'Patients' drink the serum and bone a lot. A reporter and photographer who interview the doctor steal a sample of the serum- they drink it-and they bone a lot too. When the doctor discovers that the reporter and photog plan to ruin the experiments-the doctor and her assistant kidnap the reporter and...you guessed it...they bone her a lot as well (while amusingly smacking her in the legs with foam nunchucks). The doctor and her assistant end up overdosing on the serum and die. The End.

Even though FETISHES OF MONIQUE was obviously a quickly made film and done on the cheap-Davian still manages to throw in a decent amount of relatively arousing sex in what otherwise could have been a real waste of film. Again, nothing truly notable-the sex scenes are decent enough if not particularly interesting or sleazy (although there is one scene where a 'patient' is f!cked until her puss starts bleeding...), and the plot is also neither very sleazy (though it does have a few moments) nor particularly interesting-but not a total loss due to Davian's eye for the pink stuff...5/10

Half-hearted porn from a hack
lor_31 July 2015
FETISHES OF MONIQUE provides not even the minimum to qualify as sci-fi or fantasy. Its ugly lead, not Monique but a mad doctor lady, looks like Sharon Kane after being hit by a lightning blast (frizzed up hairdo), has an immortality concoction but the zero-budget for a lab or special effects neurtalizes that premise.

Corny gimmick has sperm as a main ingredient in her serum, so her assistant cums in a beaker instead of wasting his money shot on a facial. When not doing fake science, Debbie Revenge as the doc likes to dominate, ordering her minion and others around and spewing verbal humiliation.

What passes for story has a couple trying to steal the doc's secret. The sex content is shot in unappealing gynecological closeups.

Director Joe Davian provides some BDSM lite as usual, but the who cares approach to filmmaking here does not produce light comedy or tongue-in-cheek satire of porn, but merely throwaway porn.
