The female star of this one is played by red-headed cutie Amber Bliss, who stole the show in ZFX's last release, The Jackbooth Job. In this one, she plays a college coed who runs a peace activist group online, which naturally arouses suspicion amongst the government goon squad.

In an empty corner room of the university late at night, Amber types out the latest entry to her blog, takes a break and decides to relax by lighting up a joint and listening to some tunes though her headset. She smokes and dances sexily to the music, clearly oblivious to the fact that she is being watched from afar by a bearded gentleman who is getting turned on by her gyrations. The man is played by Masters himself, the head of the covert organization but there posing as a university Dean. As he spies on her and pleasures himself through his jeans, the action is reflected in his eyeglasses as the next sequence begins.

Since Amber is wearing earphones, she is caught completely unawares as a hooded figure (Masters in disguise) creeps up behind her and stuffs a plastic bag over her head, wrestling her to the ground as she passes out unconscious. He strips the girl completely naked and props her up in a chair, then goes to work slicing up her green top.

When we see her next, Amber is awake, gagged with her own panties which have been stuffed in her mouth and tied inside with a strip of cloth that used to be her top. Her hands are tied behind her with another remnant of her destroyed top. Hey, she won't be needing it anymore, right?

With Masters seated in a chair and Amber straddling him, he sticks his dick into her and forces her to writhe in a reverse cowboy over top of him, not my favorite position for a rape scene but visually nice to look at, and because of Masters' threatening, no one could mistake it for being consensual.

He follows this up with a more traditional forced sex attack, bending her over a chair with her hands still bound behind her and buggers her from behind while Amber wails through her gag. I should also add that while the penile penetration is simulated, the dildo being used is as about to close to real as they come, which makes the overall rape scene appear more realistic. He finishes by cumming on her ass.

The next scene is one of my favorites, even though it's unnecessarily truncated and obviously faked. Amber is now tied to a chair (again using torn pieces from her shirt) and still gagged. Masters discovers the crushed out cigarette on the floor, lights it up and puffs on it to get it nice and hot, then proceeds to snuff it out on the girl's bare breast. After lighting it again, he burns her other nipple with it, then twice uses it to burn her pussy.

When we see her again, Amber's body is now covered with phony-looking "cigarette burns" (really just black smudges) which is kind of a rip-off since we never got to see the rest of them applied. I suspect it's because the prop cigarette used in the scene had already burned down so short that they couldn't get in enough shots, but that's just poor planning by the director. The scene is much shorter, and therefore not nearly as much fun as Elaine Payton's similar scene in South of the Border 6, but I still enjoyed the idea behind it. As a smoking fetishist who also has a burning fetish, burning a smokin' babe with her own cigarette is probably the ultimate thrill for me.

This scene dissolves back to the present before the attack as the Dean now enters the room and catches Amber smoking. Yes, the previous scenes were all just his fantasy, but that doesn't lessen their impact. He gives Amber a scolding and the embarrassed girl apologizes and puts out the joint, only to light it back up again after he leaves. Oooh, bad girl! I have the feeling you'll be tortured for that later...hee hee.

In the following scene, Masters calls together two of his government henchmen (played by ZFX veterans John O'Brien and Jesse Keddings) to give them their latest assignment. Turns out they have a file on Amber and consider her peace activist activities as a cover for her being a terrorist spy. She is to be brought in and interrogated until she gives up the name of her contact in the terrorist organization.

"Can we play with this one?," one of the henchmen asks.

"Of course", replies Masters with a sly smile. "Go get her, boys!"

What follows is a takedown in classic ZFX fashion. Amber is grabbed from behind and subdued with a line around her neck, choking her until she's unconscious. She is swiftly cuffed with her hands behind her and her ankles are also secured with cuffs, leaving in her in a hogtied position. A pump gag is secured around her head and inflated inside her mouth as she comes to and starts squealing. A blindfold and earphones are added to cut off sight and sound. And as a finishing touch, her entire body is then zipped up into a large clothing bag and whisked away into a van to take her to her destination. The fun is just beginning.

The men bring in their neatly wrapped package and present her to Masters. She is "unwrapped", so to speak, as they take her out of the bag and remove her blindfold and gag. Masters questions her, and of course she denies any knowledge, so he instructs the men to work her over.

The cuffs are removed from her ankles, but her hands are left cuffed behind her. While laughing and making threatening comments, the men strip off Amber's jeans, pull up her top and proceed to fondle and molest their captive. One of the men forcibly fucks her while the other sucks on her pert nipples. One thing I really liked about this scene is that Amber is constantly handgagged to muffle her screams while the other man sexually attacks her. Midway through the rape, they switch off so that each man has a shot at her pussy, while the other forces her to suck him off. Both men orgasm, one on her body while the other explodes on her face, leaving her face streaked with cum. All in all, an excellent rape scene.

Immediately after violating her, they flip her over and cuff her ankles back together and she is again hogtied with chains hung from the rafters above. They leave her alone to cry and contemplate her fate.

When we see Amber again, she is being lowered onto a chair onto which is attached a pair of nasty-looking accessories: a big black studded dildo for her pussy and a smaller but no less imposing silver probe for her ass (Where does he get those wonderful toys?). Once Amber is impaled to the seat, her wrists are handcuffed to the armrests and her ankles are buckled in to the legs of the chair. Electro suction cups are attached to her nipples. She is gagged with a cumbersome red doughnut apparatus which, unfortunately, obscures a large portion of her face and makes it difficult to enjoy her suffering. She is interrogated and shocked repeatedly for several minutes.

This scene should have been great, but mostly misfires because Amber's reactions to being shocked are not nearly as vocal as they should be. More often than not, she's relatively silent, not exactly what one would expect if you're having electrical current run though all those sensitive areas. I would expect a lot more screaming, moaning and crying in a scenario like that. There are technical enhancements Masters uses to simulate the shocking effect, including a vibrating effect for her pussy and animated sparking effects, but what it really needed was some dubbed-in screams to give the illusion some extra life. Compare this scene with (again) Elaine Payton's enthusiastically noisy turn in South of the Border 6's electro sequence and this one pales even more.

However, the film rebounds in its final sequence, the best scene of the movie. Amber is bound standing naked, balancing on one foot with her other leg tied off the ground and off to the side. She is ballgagged and her arms are tied over her head with rope (who would have guessed that it would take over an hour to see actual rope bondage in a ZFX movie?). Plain and simple, she looks great in this position.

Her interrogators approach with a stun gun and she is given several jolts about her tits and directly onto her pussy, and she doesn't forget to scream this time! It's an intense and totally convincing illusion, again with subtle animation effects that make it look like the taser is really hitting her skin. After lots of crying and suffering, they take out Amber's gag and she gives them the name they're looking for (hint: this will ultimately introduce Lisa Kinkaid's character into the sequel). She pleads for them to let her go, but they simply stick the gag back in her mouth and leave the sobbing girl alone to hang there helplessly.

There's also a nearly 5-minute long preview for the sequel (with both Amber and Lisa Kinkaid), and I have to say it looks amazing! We're talking (among other things) anal bondage rape, burning with hot metal, barbed wire bondage, electric shock and injection with hot sauce! ZFX sequels are almost always better than the original film the precedes them for some reason, and this one could follow course. There's some really twisted things going on.

The DVD is loaded with some nice extras, too. In addition to the preview, there's a slideshow, outtakes, some actual 8mm footage of JFK filmed by Rick's father, and even a short poser animation sequence.

The movie works on a number of levels. Amber Bliss is sweetly attractive; not traditionally beautiful but slender and pretty with no tattoos, and she's perfectly cast as the peace-loving coed. Plus that, I have a thing for redheads. All 3 actors playing the bad guys have done this many times before and they know exactly what is required for a strong villain. And they all give very good performances, which gives the film the edge it needs.
