Ralphus ZFX Review


Drifters

Reviewed by Ralphus


Drifters is the latest piece of depravity from Rick Masters and ZFX, this one about a couple of country hicks who abduct a jogger off a dark road and procede to take her back to their place for fun and games, or humilation and torture, as it were. This tape marks the return of former ZFX star Kerri Downs, who made over a dozen appearances for Masters, including the 5-part classic Gangland series and who last appeared in the Video Pirates series a few years ago, two of his best and most memorable series yet. Kerri is back in an unusual role this time, though, not as a victim but as Rick's female sidekick, Bobbi Sue, and she and Masters ("Billy Bob") seem to be having a lot of fun playing these demented country lowlifes.

Drifters begins well, as Kerri and Rick are out driving in their van, looking for "a fresh piece of meat". They come across a female jogger, Lisa Kinkaid, and decide to use the old "asking for directions" routine. Kerri grabs Lisa and throws her in the back of the van, while Rick tells her to "tie the bitch up and stick a gag in her mouth". So far, so good.

Back at the drifter's place, a handcuffed and cleave-gagged Lisa is stripped and given lots of verbal humiliation. The two fondle and molest her body, comparing her tits to that of a cow, while Kerri threatens to pluck out her pussy hair one by one. At one point, Rick and Kerri get down on Lisa's back and ride her like a pony, even using Lisa's pigtails to hold on to! This scene is low on bondage and high on degradation, plus Lisa is barely gagged with the thin cleave, but it's still watchable mainly for the clever, nasty wordplay that the two dish out toward their victim.

After improving her gag by stuffing her panties inside her mouth, Rick then hoists Lisa's arms over her head and splits her legs with a spreader bar, telling her he's hanging her up like a side of beef. "Should I tenderize that beef?" Kerri asks, brandishing a whip. The two then work her over in the usual ZFX fashion, whipping her thoroughly, at one point adding clothespins to her nipples and clitoris. At the end of the scene, she is actually lifted off the ground and hung by her wrists, as Rick and Kerri leave, telling her they will leave her like that for the night.

The next scene has Lisa hanging upside-down from the ceiling, again thinly cleave-gagged and forced to hold a large dildo in her mouth while Rick shocks her with a stun gun. This illusion is sometimes hard to pull off convincingly, because it is too easy to tell than the power is not on while the stun gun is applied to the body. There are few times when it looks like he is actually shocking her in this scene, but overall, the effect is somewhat muted. A nice try, though.

An exhausted Lisa is then given her third straight suspension scene (Yes!) as she is this time stretched out by her wrists and ankles, and given some lesbian love by Kerri. She is left to hang in a short sequence.

After nearly an hour into the tape, Lisa is finally given a substantial gag, a blue ball gag, and she is tied spreadeagled to a bed. Kerri comes by with two candles, telling her she's going to "light her fire". As mentioned in my last review, candle wax scenes are relatively rare in a ZFX production. I'm glad to report that this is the second straight time I've seen one, and this is easily the best waxing scene so far in a ZFX tape. A squirming and screaming Lisa is given a fairly generous amount of wax over her tits and pussy, although her body had been unnecessarily oiled down in advance, probably to make the wax more easily removable. Nonetheless, it's a nice torture sequence, and the most effective in the tape.

The final sequence has Lisa tied in an overstuffed chair, her wrists handcuffed to the sides, and gagged with a long swatch of yellow tape. Rick then works her over with battery charger, shocking her until she almost passes out, her body still spasming even after he has stopped. Effective acting in a nice little scene, although not entirely believable. Rick and Kerri drive off in the van, leaving her alone, still tied in the chair.

Drifters offers pretty much the usual ZFX fare. The villains are especially good, as Masters gives his always fine performance and Kerri proves as good a dom as she was a sub. Lisa Kinkaid is not quite as beautiful as she normally is (those pigtails have to go!) and she's badly gagged in about half the tape, but still manages to convey pain and suffering in the way we love. Nothing especially memorable in this one, save for the nice hot wax sequence. If you like ZFX's tapes, this one has enough to please.
