Stoya reminds us that you can’t say “Boobies” without first saying “Boo.”
Digital Playground’s “Scream” series, in which its starlets find themselves in spooky, dirty situations, has found a perfect cover girl in Stoya, in that she looks like a sexy ghost.
And it’s a great idea. What better visceral combination than horror and sex? But “Scream” only hints at horror; it’s real job is to get the likes of Stoya, Alexis Texas, and Madison Ivy naked. In that way, “Scream” is to horror movies what “Nurses” was to “ER.”
Five scenes place Stoya and friends far enough out of harm’s way that Digital Playground can never be accused of making snuff porn (not a drop of blood is shown) but fans of Girls in Danger have enough of a scary back story before the sexing happens.
Stoya appears in three scenes: the first finds Stoya and Alexis Texas watching a slasher movie, waiting for Stoya’s boyfriend. He shows up, scares them briefly, and they all fuck seconds later. Scary!
She next appears in a new take on the classic “You couldn’t have seen her; SHE’S BEEN DEAD FOR TWENTY YEARS” scenario, except this time Stoya has an interracial posthumous Sapphic interlude with Mahlia Milan. Scary!
Finally, she shares a kitchen scene with Evan Stone that makes me want to join her in her vegan lifestyle. What they did to a perfectly good steak was truly horrifying on many levels. Don’t show this scene to someone who can only afford Ramen products.
Other standout performances include Carmella Santiago (I like to call her Carmella-toe Santiago in this movie), who inadvertently has sex on a bed under which rots a corpse, and Madison Ivy, who quite deliberately has sex on top of Tommy Gunn. Evan Stone returns with the Love Twins in probably the best utilization of their skills possible.
“Stoya: Scream” was not scary and at times seemed busily in love with its post-production to the detriment of the scenes.
But the movie was fun, Stoya was, as always, a delight to watch, game and never aloof of the performance. The only real crime was that she was forced to hold her own butt on the cover photo. She is a major star now: surely they could have found someone to do that for her.
