 Rape, Murder and Mayhem in Vivid's 'Miles From Needles'
Director B. Skow's new Vivid feature Miles From Needles stars contract girl Savanna Samson
in a scenario that plays like an homage to '70s roughie porn and exploitation flicks."Savanna plays a girl who is in a
lesbian relationship behind her boyfriend's back," Skow begins. "The boyfriend
catches them in bed together, rapes Savanna and forces the girlfriend to watch - it's a
really intense scene. They wind up killing him, freaking out and taking off - just
driving. They end up 10 miles outside of Needles, California on the highway where they get
pulled over by a cop, played by Evan Stone. He arrests them, but it turns out he's not
really a cop - he and Kimberly Kane are two freaks who torture, rape and molest
them."
That's just the beginning of the insanity. Stone's
character has a meth lab in the basement, where he forces strung-out sex slaves to perform
in videos for his porn website. And James Deen plays a retard role straight out of Ted
Post's '70s sleaze classic The Baby or the underrated Sonny Boy, as a demented man-child
who's been raised to believe he's a girl.
Skow told AVN the movie had to go through Vivid's legal
department twice, due to the graphic rape scene and other risky elements.
"Going back and forth with the legal
department, I had to take out a couple of things," the director said. "Steven
St. Croix seemed like he was really raping Savanna. There's a lot of weird stuff in it - I
really like Rob Zombie's movies, and it has that kind of feel."
Skow shot Miles From Needles in two
17-hour days. "The cast and crew was really into it and loved the script," he
said. "Savanna and everybody else gave their full energy from start to finish;
Kimberly Kane is unbelievable in it, Steven is great and Evan Stone is really good,
too."
Samson appears in four of the movie's
seven hardcore sex scenes. Her co-stars include April Blossom as the lesbian girlfriend,
Maria Bellucci as one of the meth freaks and Brian Surewood.
