Quoth Michael Raven, “The Wicked” Evermore

In what he claims is his best work to date, Wicked Pictures director Michael Raven breathes new life into the hoary horror porn genre with "The Wicked", a sexy retelling of a group of hot young Burners (is there any other kind?) who get lost in the desert on the way to Black Rock City and become embroiled in a romantic and terrifying vampire drama. Hey, it could totally happen! (Depending what sort of hallucinogenics you took on the way to Burning Man, that is.)The plot involves Barrett Blade allowing his little head to do the thinking when he picks up a bombshell hitchhiker in the middle of nowhere; they later shack up in a hotel room together to save funds for partying. (You do know how expensive it is to attend Burning Man, don't you?) Along comes supernaturally endowed Voodoo to explain that they're in danger of being eaten alive by blood sucking desert weirdos if they're not careful ... and according to the trailer, that's pretty much what happens. It's sort of like what a porn(ier) version of "True Blood" might look like minus its Louisiana setting, but with an added dose of pornstars, playa dust, and LSD! Kaylani Lei is joined by a stellar cast including fellow Wicked contract stars Mikayla Mendez and Stormy Daniels, along with newcomers Tori Black and Scarlet Faye, former Digital Playground starlet Sofia Santi, tushy princess Roxy DeVille, and Fleshbot Crush Object Jenny Hendrix. (Did we mention that we love this cast?)

If nothing else, "The Wicked" should convince everyone that Raven is the perfect choice to helm the next "Lost Boys" installment. After all, who better than Kaylani Lei to keep Corey Haim in line? • "The Wicked" Trailer (avnlive.com) • Wicked Pictures (wickedpictures.com) • Order: "The Wicked" (Adult DVD Empire)
