Cruelty Canyon
Stars: Krissy, Brandy and Sir Nik
Produced by Bon-Vue Productions
This one starts out great and maintains the momentum for a while. But things go downhill about halfway through the movie, and the latter half is a big disappointment -- pretty much ruining the total effect.
The story is about two young women -- a brunette and a woman with dyed red hair -- walking outdoors when they come across a shack and this bizarre Charles Manson-type fellow. The young women are looking for booze, but he offers them his own type of drink. As they get hazy, he talks about the problems these days with the religious right and mainstream society. Then he offers up his solution. He says he is Jesus Christ and is going to start his own war against society. He wants the two women to use sex to help him recruit his army.
Despite the effects of the drink, the women want to leave and start walking away. But the Manson dude pulls out a rifle and forces them to bow down on the ground. He puts his foot on the back of the neck of the brunette, points his rifle at her head, and threatens them both.
Next, we see them being tied up with ropes to posts in the freak's shed. Slowly, he takes off their clothes, intermittently threatening them with a knife.
This is probably the best scene in the movie -- the slow stripping and harassment of the bound women works very well. The brunette (Krissy) was wearing a striped halter top, cutoff jean shorts, and black boots, while the redhead (Brandy) was wearing a black tube top, a jean skirt, and black boots. Both women have too many tattoos, and Krissy also has nipple rings and a ring in her lower lip. However, Brandy (the redhead) is attractive, in a soft-skinned kind of way, despite the tattoos. Though they both struggle and complain, the women are eventually stripped down to just their panties and boots.
The next scene is also nice -- both women are hanging upside down from a tree, that has a tree fort in it. Brandy's feet are tied to one of the tree branches, and her hands are tied together, while Krissy is hanging upside down from the ladder to the tree fort, with her feet tied to the ladder. Both women are still wearing their panties and boots, which they will wear for the rest of the movie.
The villain arrives with a hose and sprays them with cold water, forcing them to call him their leader and their god. He then lightly whips them with a tree branch, then sprays them with more cold water.
The next scene that follows is also pretty good, with Krissy -- tattoos, piercings, and all -- tied by her hands and feet to two trees (reminded me a bit of Bill Zebub's Crucifier), and receiving a good whipping. She struggles well and this scene was OK.
However, the movie then falls completely flat. There are various whipping scenes, including one where the women are forced to take turns whipping each other, but they are all soft whippings and are essentially useless. Eventually, we find the two women seated back to back, with their hands bound together to a tree branch and the feet of each woman tied up. Brandy manages to get one of her hands free, and she unties them and they escape.
Overall: Not recommended. I loved how this movie started, but it never lived up to its early potential. On the bright side, it is all outdoors, so you don't get the phony sets that you would normally find in a Bon-Vue movie.
