Porn star Tera Patrick has seen a lot of dicks in her life, but none more dangerous than the one she meets in TomCat Films’ new horror indie Angel of Darkness: The Legend of Lilith. Patrick plays the girlfriend of a small-time hood who takes her on a crime spree that comes to an unexpected supernatural end.
Patrick tells AVN:
I play Vicki, a totally twisted opportunist. My boyfriend Stu [Rhine] is a low-life criminal who leads the way down a twisted path of home invasions, murder, mayhem, and I’m happily along for the ride!
I’ve been a glamour puss for all my life and career so if the opportunity presents itself for me to get battered and bloody I welcome it! It’s a nice change to be dark and sinister. I hope I get to do more horror movies!
Angel of Darkness: The Legend of Lilith is set at a fetish club party where attendees have gathered to celebrate its owner’s new art piece, an ancient Sumerian statue that holds the powerful succubus Lilith captive. Unbeknownst to the guests, they are part of a ceremony meant to free it.
