In Anette’s Debut, we’re introduced to the titular character/actress in a manner reminiscent of Bloodsucking Freaks. The movie opens with two naked slave girls bringing a heavy wooden chest to their master, a mysterious cloaked master (Dr. Lomp) aided by a cane-wielding female enforcer. The two slaves are dismissed and Dr. Lomp opens the chest to reveal his newest acquisition, a blonde-haired beauty that already bears the mark of the whip and the cane on her body. This, we learn, is “Anette”.

In a flashback sequence, we learn that she was abducted off the street, and the rest of the movie is dedicated to how she was transformed from defiant young girl to obedient sex slave through bondage and flogging. Ok, that’s the basic premise.

First off, “Anette” has a fine young body, always important in this kind of film. Here’s what it looks like, before things get violent.

Secondly, I love the classic St. Andrew’s Cross. It’s a great position that makes just about any woman look ten times hotter. And really, Anette is so hot that you just want to reach out and run your hands all over her body, stroking her breast, squeezing a nipple. Thankfully, that’s exactly what Dr. Lomp has in mind for starters.

Then the fun starts. This is early in the session.

Eventually, her willpower is broken and she promises to obey. As a warning, she’s then taken to another room, where the two naked slaves we saw in the opening scene are standing, hands behind their backs, with fish hooks through their nipples (exclamation point!) and lines attached above their heads such that, as the slaves breathe, the hooks tug on their nipples (double exclamation point!!). If there’s one thing I have to give credit to Mood Pictures for, it’s coming up with some truly mind-boggling tortures. And in this film, you not only see the finished product, you also get to see “behind the scenes” when the producer was prepping the two actresses to suffer for the scene. And they truly do suffer for their art.

We see the hooks going in and hear the actresses groaning in pain, before the cameras even start rolling for the film proper. There’s nothing fake here but the dialogue.

And that’s just the first five minutes.

I won’t go into detail on all of the tortures she suffers, but suffice to say that she spends more time on the St. Andrew’s Cross and becomes intimately familiar with candle wax, binder clips, and a riding crop.

The movie then jumps back to the scene where it opened, with Anette in Dr. Lomp’s chamber. Her spirit broken, she obediently bends over a chair, where she receives her daily flogging with a cane. To her credit, you can tell when an actress is really suffering because she sweats, and Anette doesn’t disappoint. Her skin is glowing from exertion as she struggles through the scene.

At barely thirteen minutes, the story itself is pretty short. However, the “behind the scenes” footage makes up for the shortness of the film, for a total elapsed time of about sixteen minutes. That’s three minutes of “Is that woman really going to let him stick a hook through her nipple?” that will make you squirm in your seat.

So, let’s recap. First you have a lead character with a fine young body. Second, you have some diabolical tortures on the X-cross. Third, you have fish hooks through nipples. That’s three redeeming qualities about this film. If I have to level a criticism it is that, that’s all there is. There’s not a lot of variety other than what I’ve written so far. Even the caning is a bit short and there is no real drama before it happens, or even during the application of the strokes. The idea was good, but there was so much more that could’ve been done, but wasn’t.

Overall, I get the feeling that the producers had a lot more planned, but for one reason or another, they just didn’t (or couldn’t) publish the rest. So, you take what you can get. And really, it makes a good shorty. Image clarity is fine, audio is fine, and the girls act well enough. If you’re into hot blondes with nice asses getting caned, this is worth checking out.
