1990 Directed by Chuck Vincent
A woman marries wealthy men, then arranges for them to have "accidental" deaths.
I’ll admit, there was a moment in the last 10 minutes of Sexpot where I laughed out loud.
However, I was audibly groaning from boredom and unfunny attempts at humour for 85 minutes preceding this moment.
I will say that pretty much the entire movie rests on the shoulders of Ruth Collins, and that she played her role as serial widower, Ivy Barrington, as good as could be expected for the script she had to work with. I was also happy that this didn’t scrimp on the nudity, which would have made the whole shebang intolerable.
Here's a sentence I didn't expect to ever type:
"Enjoyable Chuck Vincent comedy"
Since I watched while working on something, I might have to revisit this to get more out of it. As it stands, it really left something to be desired. There are a LOT of grating voices in this, to the point of distraction.
I’ve avoided SEXPOT for years because I’ve heard it’s terrible. Well, people were right. Sadly this was Chuck’s last movie and a remake of MRS BARRINGTON? I don’t know but it feels like the same movie but a little more quirky. Has a few familiar faces but ultimately a bore.
Black widow Ruth Collins chews up the scenery, swallows it, coughs it up, spits it out and crushes it with her $10000 heels she just bought with her latest dead husband’s money in this remake of Chuck Vincent’s 1974 film Mrs. Barrington.
Porn/genre filmmaker Chuck Vincent(SEX DRIVE,ROOMMATES[1982],WARRIOR QUEEN[a.k.a.:POMPEII])'s final film was this badly bungled mainstream remake of his 1974 porn feature MRS. BARRINGTON,with Ruth Collins(DOON ASYLUM,WITCH ACADEMY[a.k.a.:LITTLE DEVILS]) in the title role of the bubbly but conniving and cunningly psychotic Ivy Barrington who unleashes a wave of killings upon every wealthy husband that she marries and quickly inherits from as her last victim's three adult daughters(who consist of Jennifer Delora[FRANKENHOOKER,FRIGHT HOUSE],Christina Veronica[THEY BITE,MALIGNANT],and [porn star] Veronica Hart[BOOGIE NIGHTS,WIMOPS,BEDROOM EYES 2]) avidly pursue after her while she continues her wave of dead rich husbands without the police surprisingly not taking any wide notice of it.
From the stale performances by the cast(although Collins gives it her very all) to the weak and flimsy…
