Goddess
of Love
(2015)
Johnny's
comments:
Goddess
Of Love is a psychological
horror drama where Venus
(Alexis Kendra), a
struggling Los Angeles
stripper is given advice
for better extracting
money from men, but the
first man she entangles is
Brian (Woody Naismith), an
Australian photographer
who is attracted to Venus
because she looks exactly
like his dead wife. They
strike up a relationship
and things are going well
until two months into the
relationship when Venus
begins to notice something
off in Brian. When looking
at Brian's photographs she
spies one of the models,
Christine (Elizabeth
Sandy), a former flame of
Brian's in a shot that he
is particularly happy with
and Venus becomes more
suspicious. One night, she
follows Brian and spies
him having dinner with
Christine. Well, Venus
loses it and Brian decides
to call off their
relationship. Venus is
convinced he can get Brian
back and decides to cook
him dinner, only to spy
him having sex with
Christine. Christine
brings back Venus's things
to her apartment and they
tussle with Christine
winding Venus. This sets
off a tit for tat with
Venus becoming more and
more delusional and
violent, leading to
tragedy. Or does it?
...
A
passion project for Alexis
Kendra (formerly Alexis
Peters who seems to have
changed her name for this
movie) who co-wrote,
produced and is very much
front and centre of the
movie. Venus is a mess,
chain-smoking throughout,
which is something very
different for a modern
movie considering smoking
is basically banned from
American movies, spitting
numerous times (at least 6
from a quick count),
constantly in a daze which
leads to erratic behaviour
that is usually soothed by
smoking pot, which also
happens frequently. And
Kendra lives and breathes
the role, it's just a
shame that the movie is
all tricks and very little
to back it up. You know a
twist is coming, you're
just waiting for it
happen. The twist isn't
really worth the journey
and to be honest, the
movie would've played
better if it didn't have
the twist. It renders a
fair portion of the movie
null and void and it is
awkwardly explained at the
end. Kendra performance is
what makes this movie,
such a shame the plot
doesn't work.
