Blu-ray Review – Tapestry of Passion

Reprising his most famous role, John Holmes returns to screens as Johnny Wadd, a private detective dedicated to helping his clients and he also enjoys sleeping with them. 1976’s “Tapestry of Passion” is a strange title for what becomes a movie about serial killing, occult practices, and sadomasochism, and there’s almost no passion in the picture. However, there are villains and women with money looking for help, putting the main character on the prowl for answers around San Francisco. Holmes isn’t exactly a charmer, but he remains the focal point for the endeavor, with co- writer/director Alan Colberg trying to assemble a somewhat dark take on adult cinema, adding elements of danger and threat that don’t exactly mix well with more heated encounters. Entertainment remains with the oddness of the story and a few confrontations, but “Tapestry of Passion” isn’t particularly successful with suspense and erotic intensity. Read the rest at Blu-ray.com
