Visions Of Jeannie Review

Directed by Jonathan Burroughs. Released by Vidco in 1985. Available on Caballero Classics DVD.

The feature begins with a distraught Alice (played by Summer Rose) who has just lost her friend and lover Rosie (played by Tamara Longley). Her husband Robert (played by Jay Serling) tries to console her by suggesting they hire a medium named Jeannie (played by Tracey Adams) to contact Rosie from beyond. Robert also invites his friend Ken (played by Jerry Butler). Using a Ouija board, they are able to contact Rosie, but the story quickly deteriorates into a series of barely tangential sexual flashbacks. The concept had potential, but the execution was terrible. Story Grade: D.

This movie was shot on video. Medium Grade: C.

A real location was used for this production and there were a few outdoor scenes. The shots were so tight, however, that one couldn't really see much of the decor. Set Design Grade: B-.

The sexual performances were pretty good. The best scene was probably the Nikki Charm/Kevin James scene, while the worst was the Summer Rose/Jay Serling scene. Sexual Performances Grade: B.

While line delivery was generally good, actors were hindered by a poor script. Summer Rose's emotional breakdown at the beginning could have passed for authentic if it weren't for the awful dialogue she spoke. When Tracey Adams arrives with the Ouija board, she asks Summer Rose if she has a Ouija board, which was unnecessary since she brought one with her. There were also a few narrative incongruities. During the flashback with Jerry Butler and Nina Hartley, Jeannie is referenced as the "Ouija broad" when the character hadn't even been met yet. In a flashback with Jay Serling and Tracey Adams, Jay mentions that his significant other's name is Alice, which apparently is forgotten in the present when Jay tells her once again that his wife's name is Alice. There is no reference to the flashback scene. At the end, Summer Rose's character has no reaction whatsoever when her lost lover and friend reappears. Acting Grade: D.

Costumes were okay. The swimsuit worn by Nikki Charm was the most interesting since it appeared that her bikini bottoms were being held up by spiral telephone cords. The high heeled pink boots that Tamara Longley wore in the orgy scene were a little odd. It was distracting to see Nina Hartley keep her high heels on in her sex scene with Jerry Butler as was the fact that Tracey Adams kept on her high heels during the orgy. With so many bodies in such close proximity in that scene, it would seem to be dangerous to keep those shoes on. Wardrobe/Make-Up Grade: B-.

The lighting was fairly average with only one of two brief gaffes. Lighting Grade: B.

Sound quality was consistent throughout the feature. The score during the Jerry Butler/Nina Hartley sex scene was a bit odd. Sound Grade: B+.

The directing was relatively poor, since the incongruities within the narrative should not have remained in the final cut. Additionally, characters would enter scenes without any sense of reality. No knocking or answering of doors. Characters just appeared. Directing Grade: D.

Overall, the premise had promise, but the poor execution ruined what could have been a great sexual drama. Artistic Merit Grade: D.

OVERALL GRADE: C.
