The Haunting Part II – Into the woods
After the ending for “The Haunting” I was stoked to see what would happen next. I was eager and excited as I clicked on the movie and it started to load. Would I see what had happened to Dillon and Jake? Or would there be a totally new story line? I couldn’t wait to find out.
The music in the beginning was once again threatening and I remember immediately how the other movie had started, and yet there was a whole new feeling to it as well. This one seemed to be even darker, more mysterious. My excitement grew even more.
Then Dale Cooper comes on screen, taking pictures of this storm-shaken tomb, all the trees broken like toothpicks. I loved the imagery, it added even more to the weird, and subliminal feeling that I got from the very beginning. Plus, Dale looked absolutely adorable shooting these pictures!
While the movie goes on I get, yet again, the feeling as if someone was watching Dale as he strolls trough the house – I absolutely love this camera work. Also the mood changes between all calm, and almost comfortable to scared, spooky and just horrified. It’s like a real ghost story and you almost think you’re in the house yourself.
The sex scene between Dale and Joe (played by Ricky Roman) is one of my favorite scenes in this whole series. I love how Joe placed these little tokens on the desk, which left me wondering what they were and why they seemed to be so important to him that he carried them around everywhere. This scene was my first one with Ricky, and I believe it was the first time I’d seen Dale too, but I was immediately drawn into whatever was between them. I still can’t put my finger on it if Joe realized that he was with Dale, or if in his mind he was thinking it was his missing lover. The passion and lust between them was breath-taking and it seemed so honest and real. I really loved that. I generally found Dale to be a very good actor. He really did an amazing job in the whole series. Very realistic and passionate. I loved that.
Another thing I realized during this parts was that the amount of visions -concerning the two lost boys- got bigger and more extensive in this part. While Dillon and Jake saw the ghost just three times, besides the sex-scene with all three of them together, Dale had several encounters with Joe. That left me wondering how much of this really happened, or how many of these things he might have dreamed. It kept me, as viewer, curious and interested to see what might happen next.
The scene in the smokehouse, where Dale finds the box with all these little things, which we have seen earlier in Joe’s possession also added to my curiosity. How did they get there? And what meaning do they have to Joe? All these little secrets and wonderings gritted through the whole movie – I love it, I absolutely love it.
And yet again the movie ends with an amazing cliffhanger. I am still no friend of them but I loved how realistic Dale was. How he really seemed to be scared of what he was seeing. And who did he see? If it was Joe, why would he be so shocked?
All this is another great movie from CockyBoys, probably my favorite from the whole scene. Dale and Ricky did an amazing job playing their characters, so much that it often didn’t even seem as if they were acting at all. That’s how it has to be. It was more of a movie, with some super hot sex scenes, than just a porn movie. Great, great work.
The Haunting III – “One last kiss before goodnight”
Before this part of “The Haunting” the last part of the series I was even more nervous. In the last two parts, some weird thing had happened and I had lots of theories lined up in my mind and I was curious to see how they would work out.
My mind was busy with trying to put together what had happened between these two ghost who have haunted the house in the first two movies. How were they connected, what’s their story and what had happened to them in the end? Also, was I very curious to see Christian Wilde for the very first time and how he, as well as Max Ryder, would fit into this whole story.
A huge rush of relief washed over me when I saw Christian, or better Klaus, sitting by the computer as he watched the interviews with Dale and Jake. Which basically meant that they weren’t dead and that the ghosts hadn’t killed them, because that was another theory that had snuck its way into my mind.
From the very beginning I got the feeling that something was really weird and off about this Klaus character. He seemed odd, and who wants to buy a haunted house? But it got even more weird when I saw him dressed in exactly the same way that one of the ghost-boys had been before. This didn’t make any sense to me, not at all. Also, it seemed like he wasn’t a fan of speaking which made him really strange and just…scary. Christian really did a great job portraying Klaus like this and I loved how charismatic and almost intimidating he was. Great job!
My favorite scene in this movie was definitely when Max, finally, reveals the true story about Raif and Joe. I am a romantic at heart and I get really sappy and their story is just…heart breaking. It’s a cliched story for the time they lived in but yet it was so beautiful, romantic and tragic. Not to speak of Arnaud and Ricky who really, really did an amazing job to bring their roles across. The chemistry between them was amazing and it seems like they’re a real couple. You immediately forget that this is just a movie, and not reality. Something every movie maker wants to achieve, I guess.
The music in the part where Max tells their story is absolutely great. The piano comprised so many emotions in its melodies. It’s the perfect choice for such a scene. I watched this scene several times because it was so touching and heart warming. It sends shivers down my spine whenever I watch it.
The following sex scene was crazy. Unlike all the other scenes before, I had the feeling that between these two… there was no emotion. Like they were not bound together by emotion. Dillon and Jake were a couple. With Dale and Joe there was this mysterious something about them which made them appear so close and so familiar with each other, where I still wonder if Joe might have searched for his lover and not really for Dale. But between Max and Klaus -it was just sex. Hot and super erotic sex and I loved how he really fucked him in every room in the house. But yet it left me with an odd feeling.
The scene where Christian painted on the empty canvas is another proof of how great an actor he truly is. Through the whole movie it seemed like he was searching for something and I still couldn’t put my finger on what exactly it was. It didn’t even come to my mind that he was wanting to see the ghosts. That he had gotten the house to experience what he had heard from Dale and Jake in the interviews and so this scene, at first, left me still unsure about his true intentions. I loved how he sat there and how he experienced the visions, his hand shaking as he tried to paint on the canvas. And really… damn, that man has beautiful eyes!
Now that I re-watched the movie for this review, and after a little conversation with a friend of mine, as well as Jake Jaxson, everything makes perfect sense to me. Everything seems a lot clearer now and leaves me here with even more admiration for the great work, not only the director, camera men and everyone else that was involved behind the scenes, but also for what the models/actors have achieved here. Also, to be mentioned, the great display of Jake Jaxson as Raif’s father. Just like the others, his acting was so authentic and real – just amazing. Great job!
I also needed to re-watch all parts of this series to really get the hang of everything, to capture everything and tie it all together. All these little hints and hidden secrets were bound together in this last part of the series. All lose ends were knotted together and everything made sense. I love movies where you have several things build up during the plot, but I hate it when some are left untied in the end. Sure, some things have to be left for imagination, but some things just have to be explained. The team from CockyBoys have achieved all this in this movie.
The movie ends, just like every romantic movie should end, with a Happy End. Or at least I like to believe it does. The last vision for Joe and Raif finally being back together is for me the Happy End. It’s like… finally they have found each other and they’re now re-united and at peace. The scene between Joe and Raif is just like their whole story. It’s passionate, loving, it’s deep and full of yearning. And with their reunification they finally got their one last kiss before goodnight.
The Haunting – An Epilogue
For the epilogue I was pretty clueless about what to expect. Most of the questions I had have been answered through the third movie and so I went into this without any expectations at all.
I really liked how the viewers were guided through the whole movie by the voice of Dale Cooper (I hope it was Dale). His deep and soft voice and the way he spoke was really soothing and greatly fitting.
I loved the winter atmosphere this time, it gave the movie a whole new look and showed that it was not immediately attached to where “A kiss before goodnight” left off.
It was great to see Jake and Dillon back again and having them tie the last knots of the story back together as in, what happened after Dale had seen the ghost in the smoke house? What had happened to Jake and Dillon? Why did they disappear all of a sudden? All those questions, that had still remained, like a shadow in the dark were now answered and gave the whole project another sense of integrity.
And of course we also got another great scene between Jake and Dale. A very passionate and very natural sex scene. Both of them seemed to be very attracted to each other in a strong and natural way. They had a great chemistry. Once again a great job when it comes to the acting department – even though I am not sure if it was all acted, not at all. And it doesn’t matter, it was perfect.
So in the end everything came together, every question was answered, every mystery solved and most of all… Joe and Raif were finally at peace. A super romantic happy end which made me very happy as well.
My final conclusion for “The Haunting”
It’s a very emotional, erotic, passionate and romantic movie. It’s not just a porn-movie, something I was really scared of in the beginning, because I had never seen anything like this before. But no… it’s a REAL movie, with sexual parts in it. It’s a real movie, with a real storyline, great actors and great sex. It’s all in all an epic piece of art. The music fits with every scene and the camera work is amazing. The location is perfect for such a movie. It’s definitely one of the best movies I have ever seen.
Everyone who was involved in this, no matter in which way did an amazing job. The models are amazing – so authentic and real.
This is not just porn – this is CockyBoys!
