I am trying to imagine the type of party I would have to have, or the person I would have to be, to show “Hell Is Where the Party Is” to guests at my home. Phil Spector comes to mind.

This raveporn from European (of course) outfit Miss Lucifer is an ecstatic film. By this I mean you should take some Ecstasy and watch it over the shoulder of whatever similarly-affected, sweaty, PVC-clad UCLA student you’re scratching up and down against like a piece of fleshy Velcro. I also mean that it is a lot of fun.

Edited to within an inch of its life and featuring a soundtrack that must be played loud, “Hell Is Where the Party Is” is indeed a party movie. You can imagine it being screened on a series of zeppelins shortly before the end of the world, or in the background of some Adrian Lyne or Joe Ezsterhas movie, just as the protagonist is about to get his sensibilities up ended by a sexually dangerous woman who will ultimately leave him an empty shell of himself. It is like the Human League video that never was, as directed by Frankie Goes to Hollywood. It’s like the alternate up ending to “Beyond the Valley of the Dolls.”

A sophisticated and often playful porn movie which sets aside the common complaint that Europorn performers are disaffected and laden with ennui, “Hell Is Where the Party Is” is jerkoff material that seems to require a dress code, though the Vatican might look askance at its theology (even though it’s got Silvia Saint).
