Origins/background: After wowing porn audiences with directorial efforts like The One I Lust and Sun-Lit, pornstar Kayden Kross marked her greatest behind-the-camera success yet with After Dark, a nuanced nighttime drama starring Tori Black. It served as the launching pad for Kross’s new label, Deeper.
Memorable scene: There are numerous standout scenes in After Dark, but one rises up above them all, even to the casual observer: Tori, Angela White, Ana Foxxx, Mia Malkova, Jessa Rhodes and more all enjoy group sex. (Yes, that’s right — all of those performers in a single scene. We told you it stood out!) It’s a perfect capper for a movie that’s already become a regular bestseller less than a year after its initial release. (scene starts at 02:55:38)
Scene breakdown: Boy/girl (1), boy/boy/girl (1), girl/girl (1), group sex (1)
Trivia: After Dark marked the very first feature porn movie for the popular Vixen brand. Tori Black was the reigning Vixen Angel of the Year at the time the movie was released.
Quotable: “Tori carries this movie with the same phenomenal presence that she has built her career on. I’m honored to have been able to direct her. The crowning scene is the orgy we shot with eight Vixen Angels in an ornate last supper theme. It’s the largest production I’ve ever been involved with.” —director Kross on Tori Black
The critics said: “After Dark from Vixen and writer/director Kayden Kross is an amazing movie, and I’m expecting a lot of awards for this feature film! The movie starts a little slow and you’re not completely aware of who’s Tori, and why she talks and behaves the way she does. Each passing scene you’re getting a clear picture and the ending clears everything up for you, and that leaves a very nice taste in your mouth!” (Willy Milano/Adult Empire)
