Every now and then when I check out the web for some interesting new tapes, I hit a home run. I'm not even sure where I found this link, but I just saw a new one this week that blew me away. It's a horror film called Fantom Kiler 2, foreign, with subtitles. That aside, it's also one of the nastiest combinations of horror and bondage I've ever seen. There are three beautiful women who all get stripped, tied up, gagged and tortured (and yes, brutally stabbed...this is a horror movie, after all). Anyway, the biggest highlight was a long scene where a naked woman gets tied spreadagled to the hood of a car, tape-gagged, and then has JUMPER CABLES clamped onto her nipples, which are then connected to the battery of another car. You can figure out what happens next. Yowza!

And the great thing about the movie is that the bondage and nudity are not briefly glimpsed; they play it up from all different angles, and the scenes are all filmed like the director knows that the bondage is the most important part, which of course, it is :)

I'll tell you one thing. There is NO WAY a movie like this would EVER get released in the United States. It appears to have been made for bondage fetishists, disguised as a horror film. I put the website address up as my Homepage URL, if you want to look at the pictures. It's fairly inexpensive, only about $20 in US currency, but I should warn you it took nearly two months to be delivered (from England, I believe). But it is well worth the wait. I've already watched it twice.

Regarding Fantom Kiler 2, well, for bondage lovers, this is not a one-scene movie by any account. But even if it were, you could pick any one of three separate scenes in the film and grant it classic status just based on that. It's really that good.

One word of warning. This is a horror film. Women get killed, and very graphically. There are two horrific stabbing scenes, one where a chick gets stabbed over and over in a frenetic montage that seems to go on forever. Another gets gutted like a fish, with a big gash right down the center of her body, and it's quite gory. And the third cuts away right as the film ends, so it's only implied.

How one feels about snuff scenes may determine your enjoyment of the film. If you absolutely are put off by simulated death, don't buy it. To me, it's all illusion and make-believe, anyway, just like any other film. No one is really getting killed.

That said, here's the real reason to get the movie. You have three beautiful women, all totally naked, and all get realistically bound and gagged by the serial killer. And it's not like you get a quick glimpse of them, either. You get all kinds of lingering close ups of their sweating, naked bodies, their limbs struggling in the ropes, their eyes widening. You hear them moan through their gags and see their reactions as the killer tells them what he's going to do to them. The director revels in their bondage; he lingers over it. He celebrates it. It's an extremely well-directed piece of work. He wants to show us these girls suffering from every angle, and it's like a horror film made by a bondage freak. I know this guy is "one of us".

What are the scenes? Well, a long haired blonde posing as a prostitute is picked up by the killer and knocked out in his car. When she awakens, she's stripped naked and tied arms over head to a ladder. Her ankles are knotted to the sides, and she's gagged with white tape. The killer fondles her body all over, grabbing her breasts, fingering her pussy, just helping himself to her naked form. Then he pulls out a knife and torments her with that, sticking it near her pussy and running it all along her body. Then the stabbing orgy, which is again shown from a variety of angles.

Afterward, a cop discovers her still tied to the ladder and the camera again lingers over her beautiful body with plenty of red gashes on it. Suddenly he hears the horn blowing and he finds his partner, Ramona, a lovely red-haired prostitute, in the car tied to the steering wheel, her mouth tape-gagged. The killer knocks him out and we cut to my favorite scene in the movie.

When he comes to, he's bound and gagged and is forced to watch as the killer has tied Ramona to the hood of a car, spreadeagled and totally nude, still gagged with tape. After lots of delicious, threatening dialogue, he takes jumper cables with nasty alligator clips and clamps them onto Ramona's nipples. He hooks the other end to his car battery and revs up the engine. The huge close ups of her face and the squeals she makes as she is shocked are just priceless. And her torture goes on and on as the camera records her suffering in loving detail. He must shock her for a good solid 3 or 4 minutes. Awesome scene, best ever for a mainstream movie.

Then she gets brutally slit with a knife by the killer, which eventually leads us to the final bondage segment, with another beautiful blonde tied to the ladder, with her ankles tied together and her hands above. This time, she's cleave-gagged and again totally naked. There's lots of reaction shots of her as the killer talks with the cop, who has come to rescue her. But he is talked out of it by the killer and the cop walks away, leaving the helpless girl with no hope at all.

The suspense builds and builds as the killer tells her, in detail, what is going to happen to her. He takes out a viscous-looking saw with jagged, pointy teeth and lets her squirm as she realizes her impending doom. Again, lots of lingering close ups and whimpers of fear from the victim. We see her tied up in the scene for a good 15 minutes, and it's just a visual feast.
