Max has a problem. His SadoMasochist club is losing money because the prostitutes he uses for his shows have become old and boring, so nobody is coming to see the performances. He calls a meeting with his accountant and his business partners to discuss the issue. He can’t hire new prostitutes because the pimps will want too much money. Besides, he wants girls that can give just the right amount of fear in their performances, like hunted prey. Prostitutes will just sit there like a cow. He wants a real scary show. His solution? Kidnap unsuspecting women from disco clubs and force them to become his new performers. Sounds easy enough, right? Apparently, in Russia, it is.

He sends the youngest, more handsome of the group of thugs, Uri, into a club to find some game. Uri chats up two girls from out of town who seem friendly enough (and are very easy on the eyes). When the girls leave to go dance together to their jam, he spikes their drinks (whiskey for one and coffee for the other; seemed like an odd selection to me, too). Naturally, they pass out and the thugs pick up the girls and carry them out. Apparently it is perfectly normal for men to carry unconscious Russian women out of clubs. I really need to get out more, I guess.

Back at the SM club, the two women are face-slapped into consciousness, where they are informed that they are to be big stars on the SM club’s stage. Max has big plans for them. But first, he has to see how well they will perform. He tells them to strip off their clothes so that he can judge their bodies. Naturally, the girls are reluctant at first, but after some face-slapping, catching a knee to the face, and being knocked around in general, they come to see Max’s way of things. Apparently, this is how things are done in Russia. You find a girl, spike her drink, carry her over to your place, and then slap her around until she agrees to do whatever you want. What a country!

The first girl, Galina, is a raven-haired beauty with a nice, tight body. I have to give her – and the producers – credit. She reluctantly strips and allows Max to fondle her, judging the firmness of her breasts, pussy, and ass. I found this scene hugely erotic, mostly because Galina is so hot. Max, impressed with her body, gives her a test spanking as she stands there, surrounded by thugs, telling her all the things he wants to do to her and her tight little body. Then she’s told to stand on a chair, arms locked behind her head, while the other girl, Anna, gets inspected. Anna, it seems, is a master at using her body to get attention, and she certainly got mine. She strips off her clothing like a pro, giving a little bit of swagger to her undressing before being thrown onto the animal-skin rug like a pleasure slave in a barbarian movie. Why? Because Russia, that’s why!

Now comes the girls’ (un)dress rehearsal for the show. Galina is trussed up in Japanese-style bondage with partial suspension while Anna is tied to a bar against a wall. Galina bears the brunt of Max’s imagination, being whipped on her breasts, belly, and pussy before being turned around and whipped on her ass and the soles of her feet with a short flogger so that Max can see how her body responds to the abuse. I’m not really into bastinado, but this part was still pretty hot.

Next, the climax of Max’s big show. Galina is bound Arms Over Head and given 40 strokes on her ass with a slender multi-tailed whip while Anna is forced to watch. The whipping isn’t as hard as something Elite Pain or Mood Pictures would dish out, but it’s not a limp-wristed Jac Avila whipping either. By the end, there are visible marks on Galina’s skin, but nothing terribly serious. Still, 40 strokes is nothing to sneeze at and Galina is left tearfully bound during the entire ordeal. One problem though. The continuity of the scene sucks. You can tell when a limit was reached and the scene restarted. Maybe that makes it hotter for you, maybe not, but one thing is for certain and that is that these guys spent their money on hiring models and not on doing post-production work. I swear I think they only had one camera filming the entire time.

After Galina’s whipping, Anna is told to lie on a spanking bench, which she does. She isn’t bound, which detracted from this scene for me, but it works for her character which is portrayed as being a little into this sort of thing. If Galina is the climax, then Anna is the encore. She gets over 65 (!) strokes of the cane on her ass, pleasing Max to no end. Afterwards, the girls are brought in, pushed down onto their knees, and forced to kiss Max’s ring and thank him for the honor of letting them perform in his show. It’s a nice over-the-top touch to the video, just what I would expect from our Russian colleagues.

In financial terms, this is a price-performer; a low-budget affair that could have been so much more if they’d (a) had more than one camera, (b) had someone in charge of continuity, (c) hadn’t left the subtitles on the screen for so long, (d) hadn’t put a ridiculously oversized watermark in a spot throughout the video that obstructed the actors’ faces, and (e) had put a little more effort into getting the subtitles right. In fact, the subtitles are so bad that they’re actually a little humorous. Some people might even think of it as an art on its own; sort of the perfect touch on a film that is already ridiculously bad and over-the-top. I can’t complain, I suppose, because their Englishsky is better than my Russian, but it isn’t really necessary to write out “Ha! Ha! Ha!” when the bad guys are laughing. Res ipsa loquitur.
