As cinema, Zandalee is more intriguing for what it attempts to do than for what it actually achieves. But, as softcore eroticism, it's a better-than-average date movie for those hot video nights at home.

Reviews for Zandalee
As sexy as hell....possibly the best erotic drama since "Nine and a Half Weeks". Erika Anderson could melt frozen chocolate on a winter's day!
Intended as an artistically serious feature film about real-life eroticism, Zandalee -- for reasons no doubt mysterious to its makers -- turned out so laugh-out-loud loopy it went straight to video shelves.
