How to order

This minor classic from 1994 presents a cast of seven in four modest one-on-one sex loops in familiar settings-- garage, bedroom, gym, fireside. Reissued on DVD, it's worth revisiting for the enhanced visuals, and for the immediacy of the ardent, sweaty sex. Pinching nipples, pounding pecs, biting pillows, gobbling cocks, ramming asses, grabbing and thrusting, these models perform with infernal conviction. The four couples are well-matched, with cute, slutty blond Keith Cassidy appearing twice. Superbly paired with Alex Vender, who resembles Patrick Swayze, Vince Rockland throws himself into one of the highlights of his career.

Sadly, Thriller provides a showcase for the heartbreakingly trite song-writing efforts of model Chris Slade, whose music has a stranglehold on the soundtrack. Slade even sings one of his compositions directly to Tim Barnett at the start of the fourth episode. ("As we sit here 'pon this floor/Mem'ries disturb me from way before....") His sincerity is disarming, however, and his scene with Barnett is romantic and hot. The direction is credited to Jeff Cory; Matt Sterling and Marc Frederics both edited and acted as "creative consultants." No matter who did what, their teamwork paid off.
