Penance (2009) trailer

Penance is about a single mom (played by Marieh Delfino) who is desperate for money. She is preparing a video audition to get on a reality show but realizes she needs to show more confidence. She hooks up with an old friend who happens to be a exotic dancer and gets coaxed into dancing herself to gain that self-assurance. She ends up dancing once and decided that once was enough, as she gets the desired result of added confidence.

A short while later she gets a phone call from her dancer friend. It turns out she has just been beat up and can’t make a gig she’s been scheduled to do. Knowing Amelia (Marieh) is in need of money, she suggest that Amelia keep her gig as it “pays $3000.00 for 20 minutes.” Amelia is picked by limo as she assumes her friend’s identity for the evening. A decision that turns out to be the worst decision of her life.

Gimp wise there are three scenes of interest. The first one is a very minor one of a handcuffed topless stripper being lead to her cell.

The Second one has Amelia strapped standing to some sort of framework. She gets her top ripped off and then gets whipped a number of times.

The third scene is kind of a gross one as Amelia is gagged and gets strapped to an exam table. She then gets her clit and vaginal lips cut off (geeze!).

In addition to the above mentioned, there are also a few stun-gun tortures….but are un-bound.

As entertainment, not bad I guess…..if you can put up with Cloverfield or Blair Witch type filming as the entire movie is done from a documentation perspective of either Amelia or the captors. A plus is that Sita Young (Drive Thru) has a small part in this. Plus lots of nudity….including Sita Young (Yes!!!). But no Gimpage from Sita (Damn-it Jim!). Grade C

Gimp wise, a fair whipping though a little obscured by the grating, and an OK strapped to exam table scene (until the later gets too gross). The stun-gun scenes aren’t bad either (but as mentioned, no Gimp in these). Grade C+
