Paul Thomas Returns with Twilight Zone Parody, AVN Award Noms and The Interns| Porn Newswire
I’m not saying that Paul Thomas, the longtime and heralded former Vivid director now distributing his Cinnamon Films through Larry Flynt’s LFP imprint, would have so thin a skin as to react with hostility to constructive criticism, so I feel comfortable saying “The Twilight Zone: A Porn Parody” is a good movie flawed by a distracting lack of attention to detail.
There’s a new couple in the neighborhood, and their sexually suspect ways threaten to tear the close-knit, God-fearing community apart. But before that can happen, “The Twilight Zone: A Porn Parody” almost derails itself.
So far, this movie doesn’t seem like a “Twilight Zone” episode at all, more like the safe boilerplate late-nite cable porn attack on repressed mid-century American values, but for an easy Rod Serling voiceover wraparound.
It could be argued that the ending is reminiscent of “Twilight Zone,” but I have a strong feeling that this script was written as another movie entirely and a Rod Serling voiceover was tacked on either end at the last minute. Regardless, but for the minor annoyances, “The Twilight Zone” porn parody follows the theme of much of Thomas’ free love era-inspired ouevre: Sexual repression fucks people up.
