As Darkness Falls starts off well, as veteran ZFX honey
Lisa
Kinkaid and her friend, petite redhead (and ZFX newcomer) Brigitte
Bayonne
run out of gas along a deserted road, and wander into an old abandoned
warehouse. At least they think it's abandoned. They soon find
evidence that
there's a someone living there, and he's apparently into some weird
shit.
There are bondage pictures laying around, as well as torture
instruments.
The girl decide they better get the hell out of there, but before they
do,
Brigitte is grabbed by Rick Masters, dressed as a character called
"Monkey
Man". Brigitte is stripped of her clothes, tied and gagged and fondled
by
her attacker. Lisa comes looking for her and meets the same fate.
The next scene finds Brigitte gagged with tape, tied standing with her
hands
over her head, and Lisa is brought in and hung upside down by her
ankles, and
at one point, the attacker tries to force Lisa to give her oral sex
while in
upside-down bondage. Both girls have their few remaining undergarments
ripped away, then Masters wails away at them with a bullwhip. I
thought it
was noticeable how much more realistic Lisa's screams sounded compared
to
Brigitte while she was up alongside her being whipped. Clearly, a pro
up
next to an amateur. :o)
The best scene, in my opinion, comes next, when Lisa is ballgagged,
tied
seated with her arms tied over her head, and Masters tortures her with
clothespins on her
breasts and pussy lips. Very good emoting and crying by the always
convincing and beautiful Lisa.
Masters then ties Brigitte to a bed, face down, and penetrates her
anally,
first with a plunger, then finishes her off by raping her himself. He
then
forces the still bound and clothespinned Lisa to give him oral sex.
While there are a lot of scenes I liked, this tape suffers through some
of
the same problems that are usually associated with ZFX tapes, the
number one
thing being a lack of camera movement. Apparently, Masters doesn't
trust
anyone other than himself to run camera, so when he's onscreen, you end
up
with a lot of static shots, when a different camera angle is essential.
The
entire rape scene was shot from one vantage point, with no editing,
tarnishing what could have been a great moment, otherwise. Overall,
though,
this was a pretty decent tape, about what you would expect from a ZFX
movie.
