Some stimulating, some trite crypto-incest vignettes
lor_13 February 2015
Its title virtually generic, ALL IN THE FAMILY is a typical entry in Digital Sin's Tabu Tale series teasing the viewer with varied tales of incest, cloaked with the "not really" cop-out (a character inevitably chimes in: "we're not blood relatives"). This charade continues even during the BTS interviews, but fans know what they really want to see.

4 segments vary considerably in quality. Leadoff episode is standard issue sexism, a stag film storyline that could have been shot 45 years ago. Unappealing daddy Otto Bauer is protective of his man-cave, and resents seeing stepdaughter Aidra Fox making out there with her boyfriend (a non-sex cameo by Tyler Nixon, whose actual role doesn't occur until the final unrelated vignette, as if we were watching repertory theater rather than porn).

He decides to seduce the 18-year-old and is easily successful, humping her on the pool table. His narration indicates the man-cave will henceforth be their trysting place. Pretty cornball, notable only for a brief unbilled cameo by auteur Jacky St. James as the wife and mother.

Michael Vegas is typically the aggressor in segment 2, having sex with his tattooed stepsister Veruca James by trickery. She's blindfolded herself and awaits her deejay boy friend to surprise her with some sexual novelty. Vegas substitutes himself and has already begun womping her in bed before the blindfold comes off, sis is briefly shocked, and strenuous humping is achieved. After the money shot on her posterior, Mike's voice-over indicates bondage is in her future.

Third segment is highlighted by the appearance of Katie St. Ives, petite cutie with bangs, beautiful breasts and a visage reminiscent of the early & dreamy Sherilyn Feen (circa 1985). Katie is hot for step-dad Steven St. Croix and takes to leaving suggestive notes for him, hinting at her lust. Before you can hum "When the Sts. go marching in", he succumbs (wife & mom is never shown) . Money shot is on her ample breasts and message is stated emphatically: "We cannot tell mom about this". Words to live by.

My favorite vignette was the finale, as reliable MILF Darla Crane portrays a home tutor who punishes backward student Tyler Nixon. She finally relents and insists that he spank her with a paddle, leading to a torrid sex scene well-shot with many positions and Crane delivering a series of convincing Sarno-esque orgasms. Voice-over coda indicates a 3-year affair ensued.

Not to begrudge writer-director Jacky St. James her success in this not-quite-incest genre, I wish she would rise above the easy route of low-brow porn and actually express herself. I recently watched her terrific THE SEXUAL LIBERATION OF ANNA LEE and that one points the way.
