Goddess of Love, Psycho Stripper

All women are complete whack-balls!  Wait!  I didn't say that. Damn auto-correct!  What I meant to say is that some women have emotional issues...probably the fault of men in their lives. Not here.  Our psycho-babe today is a complete Norman Bates.  She even has a big knife.  We will try to forgive her for her indiscretions in this film as she is also quite the babe.  Our feature today is 2015's "Goddess of Love," directed by Jon Knautz.

Venus (Alexis Kendra) is a stripper...and guess what!  Venus is her name. Really, Venus Noella. She's quite the babe. On stage she eyes a customer, Brian (Woody Naismith) and she falls in love with him. The two find a backroom and get it on.  They'll have a lot of pre-marital sex before Brian, a hunk, realizes she is a complete whack-ball (there's that term again). Brian is a fashion and nude photographer and his babe wife just committed suicide.  Venus takes an unhealthy obsession to him.  Soon, he will feel smothered by the psycho-babe and begin avoiding her.  She'll track him down and find him dating the sultry, but a bit more clean cut, Christine (Elizabeth Sandy). Catfight coming?  Oh!  To say the least. When Christine has the baseball bat and Venus has the hunting dagger, well, let's just say it makes beautiful cinema.

Okay, so what is going on? You divorced guys know. Psycho babes have an expiration date.  They may be good for a week but then...run away!  Venus' obsession with Brian gets to the bloody stage.  She will let nothing get in the way with her being with her hunk.  She'll turn violent and her paranoic schizophrenia will be on display.  By the way, she is not taking anything for this psychological malady.  Christine?  Yep, she's in mortal danger. Venus will try to keep working but Brian's rejection causes her to try to castrate her customers at the exotic dance club. No more plot.  The last part of this film is wild. 


Will Brian see the err of his ways and take back psycho-babe?  Will Christine end up gutted by psycho-babe? Will Venus' obsession ever serve as a turn on to any guy out there?  Brutal and difficult to watch at times.  Alexis Kendra masterfully portrays an insane woman becoming more and more insane as the film progresses.  Erotic and prurient, "Goddess of Love" is a film that will arouse and shock you.
