SUNSET SOCIETY

Film Review by FIORE

What happens to an aging porn star, once famous for the ability to perform self-fellatio, who no longer can appease the degenerate crowd with his endowment?  Well, you star in B-schlock horror movies!  And that is exactly what Ron Jeremy is doing in SUNSET SOCIETY.  The ‘hedgehog” has nothing more than an extended cameo in the film, but is still given top billing as the only recognizable name.

Written and directed by Phoebe Dollar and Rolfe Kanesfky, SUNSET SOCIETY concerns a secret cult of vampires living and partying in Hollywood.  The group is led by Ace, played by Lemmy Kilmister, from the band Motorhead.  He is an old cowboy who has preserved the group for centuries, but now, the reckless behavior of new millennial members is threatening to expose the society to the general public.  To stem the tide of irresponsible conduct, Ace hires Frankie (Jeremy) and Sophia (Dollar) as silencers.  Also starring are: Tracii Guns, from the band L.A. Guns; Dizzy Reed, from Guns N’ Roses; and Robert Donovan.

There is nothing notable in SUNSET SOCIETY.  It is an amateurish Indie film.  Cinematography, editing, acting and scripting are all on the level of a local neighborhood performance.  The story is forgettable, and plays like a poor knock-off of TRUE BLOOD. 

SUNSET SOCIETY is currently in theatres and will be available for home video at the end of the month.  It is strictly for Jeremy fans, and those who like to watch rockers try to act.
