I've heard about this 1999 movie from a friend and out of curiosity I watched the film.

Before I watched the movie, I googled the movie and saw some obscene clips from YouTube. My first impression based on the trailers was it was a compilation of sex clips glued by a poorly structured "story".

But still, my findings did not stop me from watching the actual movie. The first scene was in a ladies dorm room while a bunch of girls were changing clothes. Then the story progresses just like any other movie.

It was a story of Andrew Sales (Albert Martinez), a college professor whose manly urges were unleashed by one of his students, Valerie Martin (Joyce Jimenez). Later, he became obsessed with Valerie until he lost control of the situation.

I must say that this is one of the best R-18 films I've watched based on its story and cinematography. My first impression to the movie was wrong. It was not that explicit and obscene as you might expect.
