Plot:
After escaping from her partner, a young woman recounts the extreme experiences she went through at the hands of her captor who enjoyed engaging in vile acts of perversion and depravity intended to corrupt her innocence merely for his own amusement, and how she survived the situation.
Review:
This was a superb and strikingly enjoyable exploitation effort. Among the brighter aspects of this one is the rather dark and depraved mindset displayed here, featuring the entirety of the experience solely as a means of corrupting her innocence. With the film’s reliance on the barbaric treatment she’s afforded while under his capture, with cruel sexuality, the situations become far more over-the-top and depraved as they go on together as this starts with bondage and whipping before devolving into costumed role-play that marks no end to pseudo-blasphemous ranting in the name of achieving a God-like state between each other. With the entirety of their interactions here buffeted by the continued expressions detailed the sanctity and pureness of what's going on as the ultimate declarations of love, the whole experience is clouded in an inner turmoil as cruel and barbaric as the extreme tortures dished out here that revel in extremely graphic effects-work to justify what goes on.
That goes a long way to helping the film overcome a few minor issues. The fact that so much of this one is the two of them stuck in the room acting out their weird sexual activities and perversions for the entirety of their time together and only stopping for a series of interactions explaining the whole thing as a means of intellectually-driven content about the purpose behind everything can cause this to be dull at times. Those that aren’t particularly impressed with what this one does will find it a bit difficult to get through as it’s extremely hard to follow their philosophical ramblings about the nature of life and death existing through his torture of her as a means of trying to corrupt her innocence. Likewise, the fakeout at the end with the credits appearing only for the film to continue on afterward with the rest of its story is an odd choice to go through but otherwise, it’s got quite a lot t like as these aren’t really detrimental issues.
Overview: ***.5/5
A fantastically brutal and challenging exploitation effort that only has a few minor drawbacks, there are quite a lot of aspects to like here which hold it up as a great example of the genre over its few minor flaws. Those who appreciate this type of approach or enjoy the style of extreme genre effort will have the most to like here while most others that don’t appreciate this style will want to take caution here.
