After watching ZFX's Squealer which has been a longtime favorite of mine, I was seeking something that had a similar feel and effect on me. Silver Nightmares has that as it has many similarities with Squealer - efficient and effective bondage, simple setting, beautiful and convincing blond, and sexual focus. Silver Nightmares/Duct Tape Dilemma is actually 2 separate movies and 1 trailer. The Silver Nightmares is broken down to 3 separate and independent acts while Duct Tape Dilemma has 1 act although it is broken down to 2 parts.

Alex del Monacco shines in Silver Nightmares and compares favorably to Rebecca Montgomery and is in many respects an improved and updated version. Alex has from my point of view a perfect bod - incredible boobs, nice legs and feet, great ass, terrific facial features, and eyes that tell a story.

In Act 1: Bed Struggles we find Alex sleeping in a bikini in a hotel bedroom when it is broken into. We first see Alex rock about sleeping in bed when she is surprised and held down by the hooded intruder. Forcefully, she is grey duct tape gagged and her wrists are grey duct taped as well. Her wrists are secured to a corner of the bed. Her ankles are next as they are taped together with several rounds of grey duct tape. She is next manhandled and she squeals exquisitely and convincingly. Her eyes and voice tones convey fear effectively as anyone in my recent memory. Her legs are duct taped above the knee and she is slapped, spanked, and fondled extensively. She is then left to struggle a bit and does she ever. She is stripped naked and we are treated to every man's dream. The video is worthwhile in her expressions and sounds - reminiscent of ZFX's Squealer. Then her eyes are covered with duct tape and Alex freaks out more. She is fondled more and you can tell she is disturbed by all of this. She doesn't like it! Her nipples are covered with duct tape as well and she is fondled and spanked some more. There are great close-ups of all aspects of her body which is classic Powershotz. This act is my favorite as you can tell as she eventually passes out.

In Act 2: Chair Nap Time - Alex is dressed like one of the Hee Haw gals of old in one of those Daisy Duke getups. She is chloroformed in the hotel room by the hooded intruder. While asleep she is duct taped to a chair - wrists, arms and ankles duct taped respectively to the chair arms and legs. Her lips are beautifully duct taped and she is awoken. She whimpers and whines effectively in that state with her giving us crying expressions. She really looks incredible. She is held by the neck and her tits are fondled. She looks like a housewife who is can't stand being touched. She struggles away from the roaming hand and she is so evidently tormented and upset. I can't say enough of her bodily presence in chair bondage. One of the best examples of chair bondage done right! Then her eyes are again covered with duct tape and she goes crazy. I can't say enough of the high quality of Alex in bondage. I find myself so wanting of her. She again struggles again to failure and unconsciousness.

In Act 3: Shower Show - Alex gets ready for a shower and the lever is stuck. She looks awesome naked in the shower. The hooded intruder returns. Her wrists are rope bound and secured to the shower head. She weeps and does her "please don't" to no avail as the tape is applied to her lips. As in the other 2 scenes her unusual eyes tell a story of torment as many of the models in the HOM loops had in the past so effectively and convincingly that you knew this was for real. Alex quivers like a housewife that knows there is only one outcome here and she knows that it is only a matter of time. A towel is put to rest and she is made to kneel in an unusual pose I haven't seen before in a movie.

Her ankles are duct taped and she is forced to balance. She is slapped and fondled to make things even more difficult. Her knees are secured with duct tape as well. She is fondled nicely. Some have said Ashley Renee or Natasha Flade have the best boobs in the business. I think Alex is way up there with them for all of those who admire nice tits. Alex has lovely long blonde hair that the captor pulls on for good measure. Finally, Alex is left alone to struggle and with the fear of losing her balance. The close-ups and the technical quality of the video work are of the highest quality.

Scene 4: Couch Spanked - The hooded captor brings in a new gal - Andi hoisted above his shoulder and put on the couch already duct taped wearing jeans and a black blouse. She is a younger brunette who looks sexy in glasses. She looks disturbed and terrified seated on the couch and then on her back. She is taunted and threatened with rape threats. I like Andi in the beginning as she looks convincingly upset. Her ankle and wrists are bound with duct tape as she is gagged with duct tape as well. She is made to stand up while being dominated by the captor. Her blouse is torn and bra undone. Everything including her reaction is good. Her panties pulled down, she is made to kneel in front of the couch. She pleads effectively that no more is to occur. Her ass is displayed nicely for us for some ass slapping. She is made to lie down in front of him.

Her bare ass is up in the air. She is ungagged. She is dominated into submission and her butt continues to receive spankings while she is hand gagged. In conclusion, we see her face while she is apparently rear ended although the camera never leaves her face while this is going on. She is effectively hand gagged and seems to be taking it well. Andi is a contrast to a more mature Alex who is more reluctant than Andi. Alex convinces us of an impending rape situation which disturbs and upsets her. Andi is not nearly as animated and upset and has a flirtatious and horniness about her. There is a good contrast there and adds balance to the tape. The simulated anal is a bonus as there is nothing like that in Squealer. Additionally, there is a preview of PZV101 which includes a Heather featured in an abduction scene which show promise.

Overall, PZV110 - Silver Nightmares almost got a straight A from me as I would rated the 3 long scenes with Alex del Monacco as A's - keep a watch for her as she has the star charisma of a Lisa Kinkaid if she takes advantages of her talents with bondage as opposed to mainstream work. Scene 4 got a B grade as Andi had a hard act to follow when comparing her responses to Alex - her reactions didn't affect me quite as intensely. Andi did get points with the anal rape simulation as this gave the tape the ingredient that was necessary.

So in final analysis this DVD merited an A- or in other words, a must-have rating. If you enjoyed Squealer, you certainly would like this one. Finally, this tape has me convinced that Powershotz has maturated in a very healthy direction using the highest caliber models like Alex del Monacco which makes their tapes reach the level of intensity that is necessary. I am also convinced with scene 4 that the Powershotz videos will have effective finales needed to wrap up a video.
