Carnivorous (1999) Review

Carnivorous (1999) DVD Cover 

It just so happened that I had to review another modern classic, one that was shot on film, and looks great overall. The starting point of this movie is all film grain, and really well shot. I am surprised by the budget, and the art direction which has 4 people working on it. The editing is top notch, the music is good, and everything about this movie starts off with a killer element to it. I didn’t see this one featured on The Spice Network, or anything, and so this is all new to me. Nic Cramer directs, and lots of well known actors star in this movie from 1999, it’s called “Carnivorous”, and it stars Jessica Drake. That’s right, another Jessica Drake movie, because apparently I find her beautiful all of a sudden, or it’s just a matter of selection. Other people in this movie includes Mickey G. Kristen, Brian Surewood, Gia, Chris Cannon, Ian Daniels, Cheyenne Silver, and Evan Stone.

The movie opens up in what appears to be an old west setting. Jessica Drake is trying to beat the heat with some water when Evan Stone with an eyepatch shows up and points a gun at her. That’s when you get narration, and story, and an interruption by Mickey G. The story is about an erotic novelist that is having a hard time figuring out how to move his story along, and Jessica Drake plays his wife that is breaking his concentration here and there. The erotic novel has a wild west theme to it, and the movie goes between the writer and his book, and so we get moving forward from there.

The first major sex scene starts around 5 minutes from the credits, and it features Jessica Drake and Mickey G. There’s a nice western themed guitar riff going and some drums, meanwhile the two make out for the most part. This is a sensual scene, featuring lots of kissing and lots of romantic elements between Jessica Drake and Mickey G. Drake in this movie has dirty brown hair, which is different from what I remember her having in the previous movie I reviewed. After some kissing, she gets on her knees and delivers a very sloppy, slow, and sensual blow job to Mickey G. The music is a rocksteady beat of guitar work, and is similar to what you’d expect from Eric Clapton, believe it or not. It’s a nice tune to complement the sex that is occurring here. Drake does well enough here, with passion, and Mickey G holds on for dear life, the professional, obviously. The movie switches to sex, and it’s standing doggy style, and it’s just straightforward, nothing crazy. Mickey G. dawns a condom, and Drake takes it, while wearing a shirt, so you can’t see her completely nude. It’s a steady scene of sex, and nothing too exciting, an outdoor sex scene with film grain, and high quality editing. Eventually positions change, and Drake takes off her top, and Mickey G. looks to be concentrating not trying to cum early, and rightfully so, because after a certain point Drake goes all in on this, and seems to lose herself in the scene. It’s an exciting thing to see, and the music shifts to a bass heavy element, as the two finish up with each other outdoors. The money shot goes forward with Mickey G letting loose on Drakes face, and she keeps stroking afterwards, then puts her mouth on it, a stellar movement, that is just sexy. Drake really seems to do well here, and acts great if you ask me.

The scene ends and you get narration, where our writer talks to his assistant or an editor and gets feedback about the book. He then is by a pool and talks to someone else about the book and some ideas as to how to keep writing etc.

We move along to the next scene, another imaginative tale, this time it’s Brian Surewood and Kristen that are in an artsy bedroom having sex. It’s as close as you’re going to get to a gonzo scene in this high end production. This woman is thin, has long legs, dirty blonde hair, and wears heels. Meanwhile, Brian Surewood looks like a mix of one of the DOA from WWF mid 1990s and Jesse Ventura. He gets straight to oral, with Kristen moaning and rubbing herself, all the while a techno beat plays under them. This porn actress looks like Ann Coulter a little, so you can imagine her that way. Kristen works through a nice blow job but she keeps looking at the camera, and it’s odd, to see her staring at the director and the camera. There’s a camera change, and then things get to the action, with full penetration as you’d expect, and a scene that speeds up quite well. The initial starting line doesn’t seem to have a condom, so it’s a bit different than the previous scene, and this goes from insertion to high gear. Brian Surewood really goes hard here, and why not? It’s a fast moving scene with a lot of action, and not much else. You get multiple positions, lots of movement, and a money shot on Kristen’s face, with an ending blow and tug, and that’s that. A good fast paced scene that is not sensual as it is just two people going at it, which is a nice change of pace from the starting scene.

The movie continues, and it’s our writer talking to Jessica Drake, and she wants him to stop working and drinking. She has little to no makeup on here, and is quite attractive here. I’d love to interview Jessica Drake and ask her a few questions about characters and more, but I don’t know who to even call for that one.

Moving along our writer needs help trying to get a bit of action, and with the help of an assistant he comes up with a new gonzo scenario. This time it features a tall, skinny woman that goes through a jail. She has brown hair and an orange dress, and starts to talk to a guard, and then gets into the action. The two start having sex in a cell, and she keeps her dress on for the most part. She’s very thin, and the guard is a bit dominant to her submissive style, and the two work well together, although it’s a bit straightforward, and out of the blue. It’s another contrast to the style that was placed in the earlier scenes, this time with techno and a bit slower methodology. It’s not fast at all, which is ok, but the two seem to lack chemistry for the start and eventually build. The two actors that start include Gia and Ian Daniels or Chris Cannon, I’m not sure. Either way, the two start and then we get a third. The music speeds up to a techno and keyboard mix, and things get even hotter when a third person comes in to help with the movement. You start with two, and end with three, and it’s not half bad overall, but it’s not sexy if you ask me. There’s something missing here, and while there are no condoms in sight, and the movie is well porn, it just lacks a certain chemistry if you ask me.

Moving forward we end up with a scene that features Cheyenne Silver and Evan Stone. This after a segue where the writer and Jessica Drake discuss the next scene and how they can make it better. The sex features a condom, and Evan Stone going through the motions. Silver and Stone do not have the same chemistry that I’ve seen him have with other actresses, but it’s a functional scene where he just goes through the motions and that’s about it. I’ve seen him interact with many others, and this was not nearly as wild or as intense. Silver is a blonde hair young woman, and she’s attractive, don’t get me wrong, but you can tell that the two are just going through the motions and aren’t really that into it at times. The money shot occurs on Silver’s chest and that’s it, nothing too wild. She even looks at the camera to see if the director wants her to stop or not, and that’s it.

The scene switches and the writer talks to a friend about where things are going, etc. Then he introduces the last bit of the story to a couple of women, these being Jessica Drake and Shanna McCullough. This ending scene features Mickey G, Shanna McCullough, and Jessica Drake.

I give “Carnivorous” a 3 out of 5.

The final scene got me, I have to admit. Shanna McCullough and Jessica Drake making Mickey G a lucky man is a great ending to an otherwise average porno movie.

You can purchase “Carnivorous” through a variety of means, including the link right here, which is something to consider.
