Taboo II is a more polished, but less interesting, film. The taboo is no longer a shocking revelation but an established genre trope. The film introduces a new dynamic: the "cool" aunt figure who initiates the nephew. Dorothy LeMay is fine, but she lacks Parker’s gravitas. The best scenes remain those with Parker, particularly a moment where she lectures her sister about the dangers of desire—a scene dripping with ironic hypocrisy. The production values are higher (better sets, less grain), but the psychological rawness is diluted. It’s still a decent adult drama, but you can feel the franchise shifting from "art film" to "series product."
This entry featured the legendary sisters—the "Twins"—Robin and Crystal. The gimmick was explicit: sister/sister and brother/sister scenarios. Director Kirdy Stevens upped the ante by removing almost all pretense of plot. The "story" is merely a series of escalating dares.
