*****
I was lucky enough to be able to see the 2-disk, Director’s Expanded Edit of this amazing film by director Joe Gage. Beautifully shot and edited, the total film has a running time of 3 hours and 17 minutes … not one second of which is wasted.

The basic plotline – such as it is – concerns the Appalachia Company, which has kept the locals employed for 15 years in the lumber business. Suddenly, word has made it around town that the company has been sold to some overseas investors – a company bent on denuding the forests and closing down the town’s industry (and income) for good.

Needless to say, the rumors have either ticked off most of the nearby townspeople – or sent them into a state of worry over their futures. First there are the workers themselves – the beyond-hunky, handsome slab of beefcake known as Tony Buff, who opens the film by cutting up huge blocks of trees for the lumber mill … then vents out his own frustrations over the impending disaster by some smokin’-hot sex with a co-worker (Braxton Bond) up in the forest. Their scene, is one of the hottest, most heartfelt sex scenes in the film … thought it’s quite close to being outdone when forest ranger daddy Allen Silver comes home to find both his sons (boy-toy Brandon Cole, and the always adorable boyfriend material Riley Burke) in a jerk-off contest that dad actually joins in on (!).

Sebastian Rivers – looking dapper and quite handsome in a suit and tie – is a door-to-door salesmen next, who runs across the rugged, uber-horny bear C.J. Madison … who, instead of buying from Rivers, sells him on the idea of man-on-man sex over a washing machine, instead. And that night, even the local bar proves no rest for the wicked, as a couple of good-looking macho “straight” studs (the handsome Bigg Pete and just-plain-sexy Ludovic Canot), who can’t find chicks to bed, allow themselves to be talked into a circle jerk that gets oral by “model scout” Ken Mack.

But it’s at the Appalachia Company’s 15th annual picnic, when new owner representative Dillon Buck (who’s not only handsome, and equipped with both a sexy accent and even sexier powertool – but can also act) is escorted to the picnic by current owner (and masculine beefcake) Dean Flynn – that things really get out of hand, when Flynn brings forest ranger Silver in for Buck … as, meanwhile, Dean Flynn gets it on (in one sensual-as-hell three-way), with Silver’s “sons” – youngsters Cole and Burke – on the other side of the tent. Without giving
the ending away, the lengthy film finales with two back-to-back five-man orgies (and don’t get smug – I never said it was the same five men) …

And if that doesn’t give you an idea of the wall-to-wall sex packed into this brilliant feature, nothing will.

Joe Gage and Titan Media have crafted a film that pushes the envelope in spots – and is also one of the most erotic of films released this year. The sex is hardcore – no doubt. The story isn’t the strongest – no doubt. The kinky bits (the father-sons fantasy of Silver, Cole and Burke – the set-up of straight men engaging in gay sex to vent frustration – hell, even the water sports scenes you won’t find anywhere but in the director’s edit) push all your horny buttons in exactly the right way. But all that said – yes, this movie can still be labeled “erotic”. There’s a sexiness – a sensuality – about the whole thing that you just can’t deny.

You expect great things from Titan – at least, I do. They’re one of the leading filmmakers in the gay adult industry, and a true model for other porn companies to aspire to. But even I was blown away by this one – a truly testosterone-packed classic that you’ll surely want to buy …

Though I wouldn’t suggest loaning it out, because the chances are good you’ll never get it back.
You can purchase Chainsaw - one of 2008's best - directly at www.titanmen.com/store/product.asp?p=605 - and yeah, it's most definitely worth the price. An instant classic - yet again - by a company with few peers in the industry.
