"Hotter than Hell" is a brazen title for a porn flick. After all, the intention of every fuck film is to be hotter than hell, but directors Ben Leon and Chris Ward, with star and writer Steve Cruz, actually make a case for trademarking that moniker. Steve has definitely given himself an excuse to dazzle as one of the Raging Stallion's brightest, but even the scenes he's not in crackle with force and brave talent. The title, however, isn't just bluster. It's actually a pun, hinting not only at the sizzle of the movie, but at its Faustian plot as well.
Steve Cruz has a major crush on Damien Crosse. Okay, it's a bit more than major. It's bordering on stalking. The movie starts with Steve jacking off to a remote camera he has placed to watch Damien, who is merely drinking a cup of coffee sitting on the sidewalk. Truly, the scene is an excuse for the movie's star to show off, which here isn't vanity, but excellence. In just a jockstrap, Steve is coated in hair and tattoos, but his face is twisted in intensity. His fat cock is rock-hard as his camera shows various images of Damien. It's that zest, notable in face and cock (not to mention taut muscles all over his body) that is Steve's trademark, but it's at its highest degree here. The scene isn't even about his cock (which of course is pretty to watch), but rather an introduction to the astounding zeal of the indefatigable Mr. Cruz.
Steve actually encounters his inamorata in the locker room. Damien rails at Steve for being a stalker, but Steve's response, delivered wearing only undies with a fireball at the crotch, is "hot!"
Later, at a bar filled with hunky guys itching to grope and touch, despondent Steve gets hammered on shot after shot, even taking his shirt off for the bartender for more. I'm sorry, but why doesn't the entire bar go silent and turn to watch our hairy hero? He's that dreamy! Instead, the action winds its way to the back room for a steamy session with Tristan Phoenix, Luke Hass and Scott Tanner. Hairy butch blond Scott and inked hardbodied Tristan make out as lean brunet Luke watches. Tristan blows Scott's enormously thick dick with gusto, Luke fully erect to a massive boner in observation. When Luke finally brings his cock to Tristan as well, the latter goes wild sucking, rattling off some of the best blowing in the movie. He doesn't need to breathe as long as his mouth is crammed with cock. The camera plays to his oral strengths, staying in tight on his face as he gorges on the two veiny giant pieces. Tristan's ass is just as welcoming, first taking Scott, who wears two star tattoos on either side of his pelvis, who sails in and out of Tristan with both expertise and casual elegance. Tristan is clearly enjoying this potent pound, his open mouth usually devouring Luke as Scott tops up a sweat. When Tristan is flipped over to get fucked on his stomach, it's Luke who gets to do him, the new top's wiry frame providing wildly deep penetration as Tristan goes back to sucking Scott. It's a great treat to watch all of Luke disappear into Tristan's ass. Still bent-over, Tristan takes pushy alternating fucks from the needy tops.
Blotto Steve wanders into the back room, where Luke is still raring to go. The sight of long-lashed fuzzy Steve has Luke's cock fully hard as he licks his lips in anticipation. Luke tries to kiss Steve, but Steve is too horny, instead gulping dick. Tristan's sucking in the last scene was impressive, but this is Steve's movie, and he proves it with a stunning blowjob that is both whiplash-inducing and nastily piggish. The look of determination on Steve's snarling face is almost scary, but even more frightening is just how deep his damn gagging throat is! Luke has an outrageously big boner, but Steve stretches his abilities to make sure he can conquer it, and never losing character. Between his hands, his mouth and his saliva, it's impossible for Luke not to enjoy this startling blowjob. Luke gets himself flat on the bar, and Steve hops up to grind Luke's cock around his hairy hole. With one push, he jams himself down on the full length of the dick and proceeds to ride with that venomous energy that makes him so unstoppable. Knowing that Luke's whole cock fits so well is fantastic, but Steve's sense of purpose is so adroit. At first, he just uses a simple bounce. Depth is the focus as he crouches to prove it, his own hard cock swinging to the beat of his manly roars. Luke then fucks Steve doggy, and we reach another level: power. Luke rams at Steve, the force of his jabs rippling up Steve's frame, which Steve gyrates and bobs to show he's no passive player. Just watch the passion on his face, the sheer adoration of being fucked, as further proof. After Steve has begged all the fucking he can from Luke, he lets Luke cream all over his chest, a mass of hot sweaty hair.
Devilish Ricky Sinz approaches Steve in the bar, inviting him home, but Steve begs off, citing his crush on Damien. "I'd do anything to be with him," Steve says and Ricky says he can get Damien for him. They shake on it and Steve leaves the bar, with Ricky adamant they will meet again.
Later, Damien is at the video store to pick up some porn DVDs. Guess who is clerking that day? You got it, Ricky Sinz, who gives him not the one he asked for, but instead "Grunts," a Steve Cruz title "free of charge."
The spell is cast. As the movie plays one of Steve's scenes, Damien, looking regally beefier and sexier than ever, gets his dick sucked by boyfriend R.J. Danvers, a bearded cutie with the aggressive aura that this movie demands. Damien pushes R.J. down all of his fat shaft, and R.J. responds with a heavenly deep-throat. He's a wonderful addition to this film's line of outstanding oralists. They don't come hotter than Damien, who gets to recline and preen as R.J. attends to him, or rather does a dive-bomb blowjob up and down his cock. Once again, the sucking is given grand treatment by a drooling camera staying close to the action. It's Damien's turn to grab hold of the flick and shake it up when he fucks R.J. with one of his biggest blasts. Damien is a porn titan, one of those tops who doesn't do anything less than colossal, and his fuck of R.J. is so furious and so loud, it seemed like his intention was to ram right through R.J.'s body! R.J. then rides Damien, or rather sits on a series of upward thrusts that keep up the dementedly wowing pace. Damien then does R.J. on the carpet, and I'm sure R.J.'s back was rug-burned after this shattering session. However, they don't even end there, going for a doggy-fuck that shows them both full of vigor. One more sit-fuck and then R.J.'s creams. He then watches as Damien works himself into a full shot.
After the scene, R.J. notes that it's Damien's stalker in the movie, and Damien can't take his eyes off the TV set, even when R.J. stomps off. Indeed, he is captivated by the very man he hated a little while ago.
Ergo, later at the gym, when Steve is naked, Damien apologizes and smiles brightly, noting he watched Steve's movie five times. Right there in the gym the bearded duo starts to kiss with oomph, and it's not Steve who races to perform here, but Damien, who kneels to blow Steve quickly. He adopts the die-hard wet style of his partner in dashing off a scorching blowjob. The camera spends a lot of time under the blowjob to watch Steve finger his hidden asshole, but not at the expense of showing off Damien's oral work. How does Steve take the sucking? Not idly. Backed up against the lockers, he's as much a thrusting part of the action as is Damien's gulping mouth. Naturally, Steve does gobble Damien's cock, something he's wanted since the beginning of the story. With spit dripping from his lips, he takes every morsel of Damien's uncut cock in his wizard-like mouth. Just from this blowjob, Damien cums all over Steve's face. Steve then has his best cum blast so far. This scene is chopped up thusly to show just how much spirit these guys have. Having shot generous loads, they head off to another space to continue! Steve returns to sucking Damien with the same excellent results, and then rims Damien with the same gusto. However, it's Damien's rimjob of Steve that really impresses. His beard is as wet as Steve's ass by the time he's done. Finally, it's time for Damien to fuck that lubed lusty butt. It's certainly no surprise that Steve can take every millimeter of it, so the fun here is watching these two stylistic pros battle it out. Damien grabs hold of Steve's jock and just slams at him, that hulking figure looking so glamorous with every thrust. Steve then rides Damien, going all the way down the length of the cock and once again brandishing his own hardon the whole time, but he's leaning backwards, so it's only his hips and ass muscles that lead the charge, the rest of his body full sweating and his face pursed in boggling delight. Damien is back in charge with a missionary fuck, with Steve watching the progress bug-eyed and roaring until he cums. Then Damien pulls out and splashes in the direction of Steve's hole.
There's a bit of a twist at the end, but the story is "to be continued," so I won't even begin to assume what is to come. I can only impatiently wait!
