My questions are answered. My curiosity was piqued after I saw my first two videos from Eyewitness Productions. The first, Deadly Laundry, was excellent. The next, Guilty, had the elements to be great, but nearly blew it with pedestrian direction. How would this next one stand up? Well, let me start by saying this is very good news :)
This new title, Now Hiring, is the first Eyewitness tape I've seen that features multiple victims. The first segment stars the gorgeous Deborah Lewis, a lovely lady with beautiful long flowing red hair down to her ass. She is a secretary working in an office, and she grabbed by a masked stranger who strangles her into unconsciousness. Once she is out, he ties her wrists behind her and puts a bag over her head, taping it on. Then he carries her off.
Now back at his lair, he ties Deborah into a hogtie. Most of the fun of this scene is wasted because she's unconscious at first, then we can't see her face when she comes to because of the bag. Eventually he takes the bag off, and tells her he's going to cut off her tits if she doesn't shut up. He cuts loose her ankle ties, ties a noose around her neck and makes her climb onto a small ladder, which he pulls away and lets her hang. Like the two previous hanging scenes I've seen, it's very realistically done, and this one is even generous with the close ups, my main complaint from last time. And also like the two previous tapes, the hanging scenes go on too long. I guess they figure that hanging is what people want to see, but she's still up there twitching 15 minutes later, which stretches credibility a bit far.
The second segment is with Olivia Simon, and it's a real gem. Number one, Olivia Simon is a beautiful redhead, but in this tape, she wears a blonde wig. Doesn't matter. Now she's a beautiful blonde. She gets grabbed and strangled in her office in another padded sequence, but once she's back at the lair, the real fun begins. Her captor puts in a hogtie and uses the noose to torture her, lifting her off the ground by her neck, letting her dangle, then lowering her to the ground so she doesn't die too quickly. He repeats this action several times, then unties her legs and tortures her some more in the same way, pausing once to tie off the rope so he can expose and grope at her tits, then letting her hang to her death. It's an outstanding segment, well-filmed with lots of tight shots that highlight Olivia's face writhing in pain. It's worth the price of the tape, and Eyewitness vids aren't cheap.
The final segment features Chelsea Poiré, a blonde who is not the looker of Deborah or Olivia, but who gives a fine performance nonetheless. She is attacked in her home by the same masked stranger, who strangles her until she's out, then ties her hands behind her and lays her on her coffee table. He opens up her top and uses a jaw separator to pry open her mouth. Then he takes an electric drill and gives her some whacky dental torture! Yikes! They blow the illusion early on when you can notice the drill isn't whirling in close up, but it's still a fun scene, punctuated by her painful screaming when the drill hits enamel. The tape ends with him strangling her with a piece of wire.
This might be the best Eyewitness vid I've seen. Other than some padded scenes that badly needed to be shortened, this tape delivers. It all starts with the casting of two beautiful women and one who's not bad at all, add lots of bondage and torture, and put it together with some fine direction this time, and this is what you get.
