Well it's time for another mini review. This one is called Keepsake. For those
of you who especially enjoy humiliation and degradation, this obscure little flick from 2008 is right up your
alley.
The plot is nothing original but it gets the job done for our purposes. It's the typical woman gets stranded in
the middle of nowhere at night, creepy guy shows up to assist, woman is taken hostage and tortured.
The guy is a mute (missing his tongue), which makes him creepier than your average B movie villain spewing out
cheesy lines. The first thing he does is put this shock collar on her. Any time she gets out of line he pulls out
a little remote and gives her a jolt.
But the best part of the movie comes a little later when he decides it's bath time. The first time he makes her
strip she's very shy and reluctant, but eventually complies when he threatens to trigger the collar. You don't see
a whole lot as she tries to hide herself as much as possible. But again if you enjoy humiliation it's a very good
scene.
The next day he again gets the hose and this time she knows the drill and doesn't bother to cover up. You see
full nudity here. Her spirit isn't quite broken, but to see her admit defeat and stand there like a farm animal was
appealing.
She then gets shocked by the collar again and thrown around a little while fully naked and you see
everything.
As for the rest of the movie, it's only so-so. The bondage crowd will be disappointed to hear she doesn't get
tied up a whole lot. Handcuffs are the extent and nothing notable happens to her when she has them on. There are
some torture scenes later but they're heavy on gore and don't show any skin (teeth being pulled out and legs being
slashed). Oh and those things don't happen to the heroine. He does it to other random women while she's forced to
watch.
As to whether the movie in general is worth watching, I tend to skim through these things once the good parts are over so it's hard for me to speak to that. It wasn't embarrassingly bad like some of these low budget movies can be, and it looks fine as far as production values go.
I give this one a
C+. The shower scenes are awesome in my opinion, but there's
little to see outside of that so it may not be worth seeking out for many of you. For what it's worth, it's
selling for cheap on Amazon. Some sellers have it priced under $3.
