In Their Nature, from ZFX, is one of their attempts to film an entire show within the confines of a single home, as they did previously on the excellent Forced Entry a few years ago. This one centers around a father and his grown son, both a bit warped in the head, who enact their perverted desires on the son's girlfriend.
When we first see Dad, played by Joseph Marx, he is berating the son over coming home late with his new girlfriend in tow. They have the typical father-son argument, then the son (Jon O' Brien) and the girlfriend, played by redheaded Bridgette Bayonne, disappear into the bedroom to make out. O' Brien is in the process of making his move on her when she suddenly rejects his advances and tells him she's "not ready" and wants to go home. Meanwhile, Marx, spying on the couple, sees what is happening and declares to himself, "That little bitch is rotting his soul. I'm not going to let that happen!"
When the couple come back out of the bedroom, Marx apologizes to them and attempts to make things right by offering them a beer. But he's up to no good. He mixes some sort of drug into Bridgette's beer (I couldn't tell what it was, though. Too bad, that would be some useful information to know!) which causes her to convulse and spit up in a long and rather unpleasant scene. "What are you doing, Dad?" O' Brien asks.
"It's time." He replies. "It's time to honor your mother." The mother, we eventually learn, is dead and buried in the back yard. It becomes obvious that the two have "honored" Mother before, as they patiently watch Bridgette pass out on the coffee table. They carry her half-nude body into the bedroom and remove the rest of her clothes. "It's time for the cleansing" Marx declares. They carry her, still unconscious, into the bathroom.
This "cleansing" ritual apparently means that Bridgette must first be handcuffed with her hands overhead in the shower, and her mouth gagged with a sponge and wire. While O' Brien holds her in a choke hold, Marx spreads her legs and sprays her pussy and ass with a handheld shower attachment. Bridgette awakens and struggles, but the father/son team knows the procedure and holds her fast. "We've gotta clean this thing out!" Marx exclaims. The reason will become evident in the next scene.
Her private parts now clean and fresh, Bridgette is ready for the next step. She has her legs spread open wide, secured to a broomstick, and her wrists are taped to the broom as well. After gagging her with a ball gag, the men grease her up with vaseline. The gag isn't needed for long though, because Marx soon replaces it with his dick, violently forcing the bound Bridgette to suck it. Marx flips her over and offers up her ass for his son. I must say, they've taken this whole father/son bonding thing to a new level! O' Brien plunders her ass while Marx uses her mouth to pleasure himself, as both men work her over in unison. Marx explodes his cum shot into Bridgette's mouth. This being ZFX and with the U.S. laws being as they are, artificial dicks are used to make the scene work, but it's still a nice illusion.
With the double rape completed, the men decide to have some new fun with their bound plaything. The tie her over a bar stool and whip her ass with a belt, while she can only moan though the sponge/tape gag they now have on her. O' Brien holds her by her hair, and Marx wraps the belt around her neck and enters her again from behind. Both take turns whipping her. O' Brien finally knocks her out with a tightened strap around her neck. "That's my boy!" Marx proudly praises his son.
Next, Bridgette is tied spread out on the coffee table, prominently displaying the actress' new tattoo on her bikini line. (Ugh. Bad career move, Sweetie.) The men gag her with her panties and strap them in, then molest her body a bit. Perhaps tired of that activity, they move on to dribbling hot candle wax onto her skin. By the time they are finished, she has an ample amount covering her breasts and pussy area.
The next scene is a short bondage only segment, but it's sort of interesting to see Bridgette tied and rolling on the floor with each wrist knotted to each ankle, with ropes tied from her toes directly to her hair. She is gagged with blue tape.
Now it's to the kitchen for a nice chair tie, as the ballgagged Bridgette has to suffer clothespins on her tits and pussy lips, and O' Brien tightens a line around her neck. "I just had to find one of your mother's favorite tools out in the toolshed," Marx announces, entering with a pliers. Using them to squeeze and twist her left nipple, her breast is left stained with blood, marking the third time in her short career with ZFX that Bridgette has done a scene involving blood, along with Robopimp and the brand new Ballista 2. O' Brien strangles her again and the men leave her alone, which enables her to squirm out of her ropes and free herself, and she escapes with relative ease. Boo! I hate a happy ending!
The humorous codas which follow the story gave me a smile, as we learn, among other things, that Bridgette turned her sufferings into a career as a model for a certain locking pliers company!
Overall, this is a decent vid, with many of the standard ZFX ingredients, but it is lacking in one essential area. The main problem I saw with it was the performance of Bridgette Bayonne, who is merely adequate when she should have been much more expressive. She has done some very good work, most notably in the aforementioned Ballista 2, but when it is left for her to carry an entire tape, like in Whiplash 3, it is not quite enough. Technically, all the scenes are well directed, but there is a certain flatness to the whole production, one that surely would have been improved with someone like Penelope Pace or Lisa Kinkaid (who, incidentally, has her consecutive tapes string for ZFX finally broken). So, while it is an excellent concept, and worth seeing for the rape, In Their Nature ends up as one of ZFX's rare misfires.
