Violent, Cruel and Visually Stunning!!
perfectx-7141523 September 2023
What can I really say about this film? In a word Brutal! This movie is vicious on all levels. Mind you I've never read the story this movie is based on but I've seen a few adaptations of the Justine story that I have not been too impressed with. This I can safely say was pretty good. The acting is pretty good and the cinematography is amazing! For as good as this movie looks it also has rough look to it that gives it a real dark feel. And this is a very graphic film with plenty of explicit shots of violence and nudity. And make sure to stick around after the credits because there's plenty more movie to watch. Definitely worth taking a look for extreme horror fans!

A fantastically brutal and challenging exploitation effort)scree mexA fantastically brutal and challenging exploitation effort

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.

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 fake out 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 to like as these aren't really detrimental issues.

Rated Unrated/NC-17: Extreme Graphic Violence, Full Male and Female Nudity, Graphic Sexual acts, and Graphic Language.
