This was my very first-ever look at a Powershotz production, and from looking at their website, their content doesn't appear to be as "extreme" as I normally like (no rape, minimal torture) and instead focuses more on the domination and humiliation aspect of bondage. But they have some cute girls, so I decided to take a chance. And this first title, PZV020 - Mia's Abduction, turned out to be one that I ended up enjoying quite a bit.
It's one of their earlier efforts and clearly not a "slick" production; we hear off-camera directions, see flashbulbs going off taking production stills, and occasionally see someone who shouldn't be in the scene walking past the camera, which takes away from the fantasy. There are some slow patches that should have been trimmed to improve the pace. But on the important aspects, they get it right, and that's by casting an incredibly cute girl as the lead, played by a then-19-year-old Mia. And the villain is quite strong, knowing exactly the right demeaning things to say to his scared victim as he ties her up. Together, they pull off the drama very nicely.
Unfortunately, the opening abduction is on the weak side. Mia, a cutie wearing a white tennis outfit, is walking along the street when a guy wearing a ski mask drives up in his van and points a gun at her; she passively gets inside without a word, barely even acting scared.
It's not until he tells her to get into the back of the van and he begins to hogtie her that the seriousness of what is about to happen to her makes her begin to whimper. He stuffs a wad of cloth into her mouth and seals it with a white bandana wrapped around her head, then follows up by blindfolding her. (Even more unfortunately, the scene is interrupted when a car goes by and the "kidnapper" removes his hood and breaks character by addressing the actress by her real name while they wait for the car to pass...I have no idea why this sequence was left in the final print.)
After admiring her body and giving her an over-the-clothes groping, he carries the bound girl over his shoulder and into his house while she makes some nice muffled sobs through her gag.
Once inside, he unties her and forces the crying girl to strip off her white tennis shirt and shorts; you can feel her humiliation when he tells her to take off her bra. He then handcuffs her hands in front and forces her arms overhead as he locks the cuffs to a chain hanging from the ceiling.
This enables him to help himself to her pert little titties, then he slowly ties her ankles together. Using the same rope to tie up her knees, he continues up her body by winding the rope around her neck and along her upper body above and below her breasts.
Her mouth is then silenced with a big blue ballgag which is tied around the nape of her neck. She looks especially hot bound and gagged like this. Her captor then removes his belt and gives her several hard whacks across her ass.
After more verbal threatening and more tears from his sweet victim, he forces her to remove her panties and ties her naked to a straight-backed wooden chair. One thing I liked very much about the video is that all the bonds are applied onscreen, so we get to see the rope tightening around her wrists behind the chair. He also bends her knees back and ties her ankles toward the back of the chair, forcing her legs apart and exposing her pussy even more.
After stuffing her mouth again with a wad of cloth, he duct tapes her mouth. As good as she looked in the previous scene, she looks even better tied to that chair.
Next, he forces Mia to lean over a tall stool. He duct tapes her wrists behind her and uses more duct tape to tie her ankles together. After he gags her with one of her dirty socks, tying it inside her mouth with a piece of cloth, he tells her how he's going to rape her ass. And he spanks her hard until her ass is a rosy shade of pink, telling her he's getting her ass ready for it. As a further humiliation, he smacks her ass with a riding crop until she's forced to say that she'll suck his cock.
Then he cuts the tape off her wrists (maybe Mia's most painful ordeal as the tape is pulled off her skin...you can tell that it hurts) and leads her over to the couch, where she's again hogtied, completely naked this time, and her mouth is once again filled with the blue ballgag. As hogties go, this one was only okay; I would have cinched the ropes tighter and made it a bit more constrictive, but she still looks damn good. Are you guessing that I like this girl a little bit?
Her captor then takes her gag out and cuffs both her wrists behind her and her ankles together before carrying her over to the bed, where he blindfolds her and says he's going to leave her for the night.
And this is followed by some short bonus footage of a ballgagged Mia again tied arms over head, this time balancing on one foot with her other leg pulled up off the ground by a chain attached to the ceiling. Two other girls appear in unrelated bondage segments afterward, the better of which features a dark-haired doll baby named Miranda wearing a sexy bustier and a black ballgag, doing some nice struggling while bound to a pole.
Getting back to the main story, it works mainly because the interaction between captor and victim is excellent. Whoever is playing the masked bad guy does a superb job, often threatening the girl and saying how he's going to do all kinds of sexual things to her. Even though we don't get to see anything like that, the threat is believable to her and seeing her cry and react to his domination makes the tension in this one very exciting. Mia for the most part gives an outstanding performance; despite a few slow moments that should have been edited out, she really sells her role as a victim. It's the near-perfect fantasy for guys who dig seeing a very sweet and innocent girl tied up and humiliated; only the sexual payoff is missing, and that's simply a byproduct of releasing a bondage video in the United States under this restrictive political climate. I would love to see Powershotz do something harder, but in this movie at least, they make their own formula work quite well.
