NO-FILTER REVIEW: This first chapter of ENTRALLED is firmly rooted in old‑school narrative adult filmmaking, where atmosphere and control matter more than “getting to it”. The episode unfolds slowly, deliberately, and with a growing sense that sex is not being offered as pleasure, but deployed as influence. The adult elements are present, but they are always tethered to power and consequence.
Peter King is introduced as a man already stripped of agency. Homeless, exhausted, and running out of options, he accepts the new position with minimal questions, grateful for shelter and a sense of purpose. His early scenes emphasize routine and obedience, cleaning, fixing, and maintaining, all under a set of rules he doesn’t fully understand but instinctively knows not to challenge. This grounding is crucial because it establishes Peter as someone vulnerable to manipulation long before anything sexual occurs.
Asteria Jade’s control defines the episode. She exists on her own level, maintaining emotional distance and communicating through boundaries rather than warmth. Her authority isn’t flirtatious; it’s absolute. She watches Peter, corrects him, and slowly conditions him to accept her presence as something unavoidable. Sexual tension isn’t introduced in this way; instead, the discomfort comes from how thoroughly she occupies the space.
Peter’s first sexual experience in the episode arrives not as a “real” encounter, but as a vision, intrusion, or something else entirely. He dreams, or hallucinates… Asteria on top of him, grinding with an intensity, the imagery heavy and invasive. When he wakes to find a bite mark on his chest, the message is clear: whatever Asteria is, she does not need physical participation to leave her mark. Sex here is supernatural, predatory, and unsettling.
Leah Gotti’s arrival shifts the episode from suggestion to action. She is summoned intentionally, her presence framed as an offering rather than a coincidence. Where Peter is cautious and worn down, Leah is confident, open, and expressive. She is immediately positioned closer to Asteria’s world than Peter ever will be, and the dynamic between the two women takes center stage.
What follows is an extended, explicit sequence between Asteria Jade and Leah Gotti that dominates the last two-thirds of the episode. The scene is indulgent by design, stretching across a significant runtime and allowing desire and dominance to unfold. The intimacy is mutual, intense, passionate, and unhurried, presented without humor or relief. These two on-screen command your attention; Jade and Gotti absolutely own you as you get lost in each other throughout the entirety of the scene. This is not voyeur‑friendly arousal; it’s a ritual.
After the encounter has ended, Peter peeks into the room to find Asteria and Leah wrecked physically, still entangled, kissing on the bed. The framing reinforces his exclusion. He is allowed to see, but never to touch. Things are happening around him, not for him.
The episode’s closing moments abandon eroticism in favor of outright horror. Without warning, the intimacy turns. Asteria attacks Leah, blood pouring from her mouth as the camera lingers just long enough to erase any remaining sense of safety. The cut to black is abrupt and intentional, leaving the act unresolved and the viewer suspended in shock.
From a production standpoint, Dirty Cinema leans into restraint. The lighting is low and oppressive, the pacing slow and deliberate, and the camera favors implication over excess. When the adult aspect arrives, it’s framed carefully, always serving the narrative rather than interrupting it.
ENTRALLED – Episode 1 accomplishes exactly what it wants to, because it understands exactly what it is doing. Sex is not the reward; it’s the weapon. The episode ends not with release, but with dread, setting the stage for Part Two and making the wait feel earned rather than obligatory.
