Director: Guerrilla Metropolitana
Year: 2025
Country: United Kingdom
Alternate Titles: N/A
Genre: Exploitation

Plot:
Watched over by a wealthy benefactor, a woman begins to toy with and sexually denigrate her unnamed captor for the whims and perverse pleasures it provides for both participants, but when it starts to blur the lines of fantasy and reality, their seedy director pushes them further along.

Review:
Overall, this was a troublesome production. The idea of this one, focusing on the depravity and degradation that takes place throughout the shoot, all for the sake of producing some of the deranged imagery involved, leads to some incredibly brutal and harsh ideas. With the relentless sexually-charged atmosphere here displaying all sorts of crude tortures and humiliating showcase pieces against a clearly unwilling recipient makes for an uncomfortable experience the longer it goes on, from toying with her using toys and other such stimulants to everyday objects around the house, and the more disturbing shenanigans that have a part in what’s going on. The constant stream of nudity and overtly obvious inserts of the gimp-masked figure playing with themselves, with everything happening around them in an escalating series of encounters, which helps to add an uncomfortable touch on top of everything.

Beyond that, there’s not much to this one. The abject lack of a plot makes for such an utterly repetitive setup where the film keeps going for sexual degeneracy and depravity that it becomes bland and annoying. The different tactics that are employed with their sexual proclivities just wear their shocking nature, just for how often it all continues happening, so the whole thing just becomes a slough of the same thing happening over and over again. It fails to become shocking the amount of time it keeps going for the same concept over and over since it has little idea what to do next, with there not being much in the way of a storyline beyond just a concept. As well as the arthouse style-approach to filming that might make for an off-putting experience at times, this is what holds it back overall.

Overview: **/5
A disappointing one-note exploitation effort, this one works well as a constant onslaught of sleaze and degenerative actions that are featured here that leave everything repetitive and underwhelming. Viewers who don’t mind the drawbacks here, appreciate the style on display, or who are fans of the creative crew will have a lot to like, while most others out there should heed caution.
