Halloween porn usually falls into one of two categories: parodies of popular horror franchises (think Halloween, Friday the 13th, The Walking Dead), or gonzo adventures that adorn an all-sex scene with Halloween atmosphere. At a concise, dialogue-free 41 minutes, Fallen Angel lands firmly in the latter category, but it makes effective, sexy, spooky use of every moment.
To be sure, the scene makes no bones — dancing or otherwise — about its modest resources. It unfolds entirely in one room photographed largely from one angle. The Halloween feel is achieved by decorative touches like twin jack o’ lanterns and a row of candles perched atop a bed headboard. It does not seem like a list of ingredients that would inevitably add up to a chilling good Halloween time, but director Alis Locanta and star Black Angel are practiced in their own brand of porn witchcraft.
I think it starts with the music. The movie opens with a striptease sequence as Black Angel unzips her sleek latex outfit to reveal her slim, beautiful body. Minor-key piano, reverberating as if the pianist is leaning insistently on the damper pedal, lends this 10-minute intro a mounting sense of dread. Is Black Angel a spirit escaped from the beyond, waiting to steal the souls of unknowing men? Rarely has a porn opener been so drenched in a sense of unease. Since fright and arousal are sometimes linked, it’s a clever merging of tones. It’s the sort of sequence that has you glancing behind your shoulder and jumping suspiciously at the slightest ambient noise.
Black Angel’s shiny black latex also brings to mind the intense allure of goth beauties since time immemorial, from Carolyn Jones on the Addams Family to the lineup of stars that fill cast lists of Burning Angel. Even if you’re not a latex fetishist, the outfit’s presence is another subtle addition to the scene’s mood and tone.
By the time co-star Nick Ross arrives, the creepy music fades away and we veer into a classic, vivid porn hookup. Angel sits on his face as he eagerly feasts on her vag, before she reveals his dick and returns the favor with a blowjob. Now rock hard, Ross splays Angel’s legs wide and thrusts deep into her as we get the first of several heavily explicit closeups of penetration. It’s in these moments that the 5K mega-high definition experience is at its most intense. The details are so clear, we can actually see minute aspects like mild brushburn on Angel’s skin or the mole on Ross’s dick. These “imperfections” don’t take us out of the moment but rather draw us deeper into it.
They move from doggie-style sex to reverse cowgirl to an extended POV blowjob. Finally, the scene climaxes with more rear penetration, building to a creampie as the capper.
By this point, you’ll have mostly forgotten the movie’s spectral opener. Is Black Angel intended to be a succubus, demon, witch, or creature from beyond the grave? Who knows! But she will certainly scare up every lusty desire in your Halloween bones this October. In that sense, Fallen Angel is like a great Halloween party: cheesy, yes, but in the best, most playful and fun-loving of ways.
