Description: Rare, Out of Print title.
Pulled from the archives and restored from its original 16mm film stock, this is truly a hidden gem that time forgot. One of the earliest works by director Edwin Durell (1001 Erotic Nights, Dream Girls) The Venus Trap is a machiavellian tale of greed and lust starring Sharon Thorpe and Tyler Horne.
Arrogant and selfish, the opulent Neil Richmond sets out to humble and humiliate his friend Doug, who comes looking to him for investment money. Neil sees Doug’s unhappy wife Lisa as low-hanging fruit and seduces her right in front of Doug during a game of high stakes poker. Little does Neil know, his own wife Barbara already hatched a devious plan with Doug so they both could rid themselves of their wily spouses and take control of Neil’s money. In the midst of all this is the sapphic maid Gretchen who lusts for Barbara. What role will she play in this torrid tale of deception?
Edwin Durell directed under the name Paolo Uccelo and wrote the screenplay credited as Edwin Scott Brown. Edwin and Summer Brown produced a number of adult films in the 70s and 80s and would go on to make the cult horror film “The Prey.”
