Overview:
Who the hell is Bruce Seven? Perhaps you spied the man’s face and name while perusing Evil Angel’s kinkiest classic releases, or maybe you’ve seen his name bandied about forums where devoted viewers seek out the most intense and adventurous sexual antics ever put on film. Well, on video anyway. See, Bruce Seven’s career in kink started up at the same time VHS and BetaMax technology was taking hold of entertainment industries. Grabbing a camera and getting to work, Bruce was soon teaming up with John Stagliano, nabbing the very first exclusive directing contract with Vivid Video, and eventually joining the AVN and XRCO Halls of Fame for his lifelong contributions to porn. Wherever you’ve encountered Bruce Seven’s work, you won’t be encountering anything new from the acclaimed creator. Passing on in 2000, Bruce left his legacy in the hands of the web team at Bruce Seven Films, a celebratory website cataloging the man’s best (and sickest) works for posterity. Entering the wild and wanton world of Bruce Seven will cost you $29.95-a-month but aims to have you marveling at the man’s epic erotic creations.

Pros:
Bruce Seven was not a man who took porn lightly. Seeing a chance to expand the art or industry, he’d do it. Laced with intense BDSM tricks and traits, Seven’s films also included group sex, gangbangs, orgies, and some surprisingly tender one-on-one fucking. Shot in a dark and brooding style, Seven’s works have plenty of appeal for those fond of classic and retro porn with a pronounced BDSM focus.

Video stream at 640x480 and 480x360 resolutions. Sure, these aren’t HD but given the era they were produced in, you can’t expect them to be. Photo galleries carry that signature 80s brightness to them and actually come through surprisingly well for decades-old still shots.

Although we shouldn’t expect any truly new Bruce Seven material to arrive, this site updates its archives every week with another dose of whipping, prodding, poking, spreading, and sex. There’s already close to 140 scenes and their corresponding galleries online, as well as a discount now allowing you to slip inside for just $19.95 a month.

Cons:
Given that Mr. Seven is no longer with us, we shouldn’t go expecting any genuinely new content to land here bearing his name. All updates landing at this site contain porn Seven shot in the 1980s and (just likely) 1990s. It is quite obviously a few decades old. For fans of Bruce Seven, that’s just how it has to be.

Many DVDs are added to this online archive with the date of production or release field left empty. Everything here is clearly many, many years old but it would be helpful (and logical as fuck) for Bruce Seven’s storied career to be detailed this way. In fact, really any further info on each title would be a godsend. All members get is the title itself, the VHS or DVD box cover, and the cast.

When Bruce Seven was shooting for Evil Angel’s massive distribution network, two of his biggest and best efforts made waves across the industry. Ghostlusters all but cemented the porn parody as a guaranteed adult hit and bona fide moneymaker while his contributions to Buttwoman #2 helped solidify that series’ purpose and style. Those two titles remain at Evil Angel and aren’t found here.

Considering how old this content is, it makes sense that the site layout and design would be similarly outdated. Unfortunately, we still have to use this site today and its archaic design, awkward navigation, and barely-there functionality get in the way of fluid, flowing browsing. It’s unlikely to be redesigned anytime soon, though.

Conclusion:
When a lauded porn creator passes on there’s usually two options: continue their brand with inferior content or archive and celebrate their existing body of work. Bruce Seven Films takes the latter path, collecting as much of Mr. Seven’s acclaimed BDSM-heavy hardcore features into one tidy collection. Since all of Seven’s films were shot in the 80s and 90s, and almost entirely on videotape, you won’t find any HD streams or downloads here, just 640x480 transfers that prove adequate but can’t help but seem lacking in the age of 4K and 8K. Keen observers of the history of BDSM and kink porn will get a real thrill out of this journey into the work of a true master but those seeking the latest and greatest in fetishistic sex won’t find much to rave about here. Bruce Seven Films is a decent tribute to a genuine porn legend but there’s certainly a stronger, more worthy version of this tribute waiting in the wings.
