AristroCrux Review: Well, after my review of the Perils of Jane: Part III, I thought I'd post my opinions of this movie... and I enjoyed it a lot more than Perils.
The opening starts with Jane, apparently bored at her manor house. I LOVED the setting here. The house is beautifully decorated and really sets the mood. Jane's attire is also nice as a yellow medieval (sort of) dress, and her hair tied back prettily with a red ribbon.
Anyway, bored with her rich living, Jane goes for a walk and comes across a lowly wood cutter. Apparently displeased with the way he looks at her, she spits on him. Big mistake! He pursues her, and puts her in a sleeper hold until unconscious. The woodcutter strips off the yellow dress and ties her face down to a large rock by a creek. I was a little disappointed that Jan was not wearing underwear or a corset when the dress came off... just a crinoline. I guess they weren't in the budget... Nice stockings though.
Anyway, she wakes up, and the woodcutter begins whipping her back and ass. Very nice, and it goes on for a long time. Then, for completeness he turns her over and whips the other side. Jane suffers nicely, and the position forces her breasts upwards quite nicely, but the bondage is very poor. Eventually, he takes her to a tree, and suspends her AOH, feet dangling. She's wearing just the crinoline and stockings still. He eventually rips up the crinoline so its kind of like a mini-skirt. He whips her as she hangs. The bondage isn't bad, but you can tell that she's holding onto a bar rather then suspended by her wrists.
After whipping her in this position for awhile, he cuts her down and begins walking her elsewhere. He takes her to a shack and strappedos her. He whips her for a while, leaves her to stand in the difficult position for a long time, and then takes her down. He ties her wrists to a plank, behind her head and forces her to walk. She's barefoot at this time (nice touch!), and he whips her to keep her moving. Several time she falls to her knees from exhaustion, and the woodcutter whips her more fiercely till she gets up and starts walking. This goes on for a looong time.
Eventually, she gets to where they are going and she falls to the ground in exhaustion. The woodcutter gets some nails and uses the ribbon in her hair to tie them around her neck.
He then take two of them and nails her wrists to the plank. Nice struggling here... she suffers nicely. He makes her get up, whipping her to get her to walk to a large, dead tree. He take a rope loop from the center of the plank and loops it over the top of the tree, forcing Jane on her tip toes. He then nails her feet, slightly spreading her legs, to the tree trunk. As always, the crucifixion is well done, although the straps that she's holding onto on the plank are clearly visible in some shots.
Jane hangs there for a while before the woodcutter comes over and FINALLY removes what's left of the crinoline leaving her completely naked and crucified. He puts a crown of thorns on her head, and blood is seen dripping down her face. Many wonderful long shots, from a variety of angles all along Jane's naked body, lingering on her small perky breasts, nipples and her bush... even giving us an upward angle from between her legs! The outside sunlight does a wonderful job of showing just how smooth and silky Jane's skin is. Poor Jane hangs there, suffering for a while before the woodcutter takes his whip and gives her the most vicious and bloody whipping yet. Afterwards, the camera lingers around her bloodied body until she apparently dies.
I really liked the costumes, the setting and the camera work here much better than Jane in Peril III. Unfortunately, the woodcutter has all the personality of Q-tip. In addition, there is hardly one bit of sexual touching... I think one time he sucks on her nipple. Not that I'm saying that I want to see her raped, but given the circumstance portrayed some type of fondling makes sense.
Giving the description in Agent X, it appears this will be rectified in the new peril story.
