“The Haunting”
(feat. Dillon Rossi, Jake Steel and Arnaud Chagall)
Being pretty new in the position as porn-viewer, I was pretty excited to finally be able to watch “The Haunting” myself. Beforehand I had heard/read a lot of amazing reviews on the movie and I was convinced that there must be something to porn I had never seen before. So when I finally got to watch the movies my expectations were really high and I was hoping they wouldn’t be destroyed in the end.
The movie opens with the scenery of a car driving on a lost and lonely road trough the woods, in the background plays music that we all know from every horror movie. Slow, dark and threatening. It let me assume that danger was close by and something bad was about to happen. The movie didn’t even last for a few minutes and I was on the edge of my seat already.
After that we zoom in on the couple that’s driving the car, joking and teasing each other back and forth. One of them suggests they make a stop at the cemetery and have some naughty fun together. The other one, displayed by Jake Steel, doesn’t feel very comfortable at the thought of having sex in a cemetery, which I can quite understand. Nothing’s more freaky and intimidating than an old cemetery.
The actual scene between Jake and his lover Dillon is hot and passionate. As a viewer, I enjoyed the feelings that were going on between the two of them and yet I always kept in the back of my mind where they were – in a cemetery. The location and the camera work in this scene were great and I loved how they chose a private, but yet not too private, place to go down with their business.
During the sex-scene I kind of lost the edginess from the beginning and I relaxed into the situation. So they finished and went back to their car and all of the sudden…there’s this other guy. And as fast as he was there he disappeared again and it made me jump. Immediately I was back in my alert state wondering who he was and what was he was doing there. But then I remembered…they’re in a cemetery, he must be a ghost.
The following scenes take place at the house the couple has booked for their vacation and yet again the mood relaxes. You see them being silly together, cooking, eating and having nice conversations. What I loved about the scenes was the way they were filmed. It made me think of… yeah, as if someone was watching them. Like someone sat behind the bookshelf, the window, or whatever and watched them, stalked them almost.
And so the mood always changes between edgy and calm, but never leaves you completely off the hook. You always have in the back of your head that there has been a ghost and seemingly it was now watching them together. Bringing in the fireplace, the Edgar Allen Poe story made everything appear even more romantic and creepy.
Just like before I had settled down with them, my thoughts soothed by the romantic atmosphere during their little story and then the peace got disturbed by loud knocking on the door. Another mood change. I am back on the edge of my seat, curious to find out what’s causing this loud noise. Tensely I follow how Jake goes out into the dark garden, only a flashlight in his hand as he tries to find out what I want to know as well. Who has knocked on their door in the middle of the night? The stalker? The stranger from earlier in the cemetery? Yet again the music is perfectly fit as I watch him stumble through the dark backyard and all of a sudden…. A scream. I jump in my seat, probably just as scared as Jake himself as he sees the stranger -the ghost from earlier. My heart’s racing and I silently curse Dillon for not believing his lover as he hurries back inside to tell him what he had seen. There was a ghost and it was obvious that he had watched them.
In the next scene we see both of them laying in bed as the door is pushed open, but no one seems to step inside. Then, all of a sudden, the sheets are lifted, revealing the naked body of Dillon. What is going on? Then there is the stranger from earlier again, grabbing the sheets, but in the next minute he disappears again. At that moment it was clear for me that this guy was a ghost and he was about to step into direct contact with Jake and Dillon.
Yet another sex scene follows. One of the best and most passionate threesomes I have ever seen. I always kind of disliked those because most of the time it’s just a mess and there are limbs everywhere. No one knows who’s doing who and so on. And yet, the team from CockyBoys achieved a really great scene between those three.
The way director Jake Jaxson chose to switch between making the stranger appear to be there and how he disappears in other moments lets me ponder if this is actually happening or is it just a fantasy of one of the other boys? It gave the whole scene a mysterious touch and I really enjoyed that.
After a phenomenal climax and one of the hottest cum-shots I’ve ever seen in a porn movie, everything goes back to normal. Jake and Dillon are alone in bed – the mysterious stranger had disappeared again. All my edginess from earlier was gone now because I actually thought most of the scary stuff had happened and so I watched Dillon go to the bathroom expecting nothing bad and then…. there he was again. The ghost. And yet again I jumped in my seat, my heart back to racing like crazy as I tried to wrap my mind around what had just happened.
I’ve never been a fan of cliffhangers because they leave you in a state of surprise and curiosity. And knowing me I’ve never been much of a patient person so I always get impatient in such situations. But this time, after I got over my initial shock, I found this cliffhanger very wisely chosen. It kept the movie from ending “boring” and it kept the viewers’ attention until the very least second.
All in all “The Haunting 1” is one of the best porn movies I have ever seen. It’s not just a scene of two guys going at each other but it actually has a story to tell. There are surprise moments, great music, a scary and creepy ghost-stalker as well as a haunted house. Not to forget the smoking hot couple who actually get haunted. I enjoyed watching the movie through and through and my expectations from earlier never got disappointed.
It’s the perfect mixture of an actual horror movie and porn, bringing both together in the best way possible and mixing it into a scary, captivating, and passionate movie. Great work!
