This looks like a porno

I don't think it looks at all like a porno. It may have some fetish themes and some sexual imagery, but that would make sense perhaps. It oddly enough looks like a modern noir film, but with more surrealism going on in it or something.

Sounds like an STV or more likely an MFC (made for cable). Soft-core thesps often turn up in ultra-low-budget flicks that -- believe it or not -- are often shot in Hollyweird, using abandoned backlots, existing sets and even lots of stock footage (Jim Wynorski, anyone?). I have seen tons of these. My favorites usually star B-level players like Wings Hauser and Gary Busey and that other Gary who often starred in his own flicks. By the way, one of the greatest of these often-abysmal films was a STAR WARS knockoff starring English legend Christopher Lee, made the same year as STAR WARS. And I saw this classic in a drive-in theater! Footage from that film also turned up in films made as late as a decade later. One of them starred the guy who had played "Ben Casey" on early TV. Roger and Julie Corman were often behind these atrocities.

This is true, but so are people like Cinque Lee, Caveh Zahedi, David J and Robert Williams. It seems like a tribute to the underground. Also did you see the official website? It along with the new trailer seem a far stretch from a troma-type movie. It looks more intriguing than Ulli Lommel's film, that's for sure though. Actually, after seeing the De Palma film also this one might blow them all away. Who knows for sure

this is def. a pron, i know i was jerking the whole movie.

Damn, even though it's a different movie from this one (the Ramzi Abed film), I feel like I have to see this Ulli Lommel film because it's caused so much controversy between all the different Black Dahlia movies. I just hope Abed's film gets released eventually on dvd or in theatres.
