Some thoughts on SOB-V
Finally the day arrived and a new ZFX hit the shelves. So, how was it?
First, let me echo Ralphus in praise of SOB-IV. I will in fact go further, that is to say, SOB-IV is my favorite ZFX tape EVER. That's right, number one. The bar for V was pretty high. So, how did it do?
Pretty damn well. Marly makes an impressive debut, allowing herself to be stuffed like a thanksgiving turkey, and the Tabasco sauce? One for the highlight tape. A number of big scenes. For me though it is the small touches that work the best magic. Kelly McKays scene with Rick, the tears, smeared mascara, the forced asking for a whipping. Sometimes the beautiful Kelly is a bit demure in her suffering but this scene is one of the some of the best ZFX acting I've seen. Later, after her double ended ravishment, her dripping mouth and chin is left unwhiped as her hands are bound. The implied passage of time here is great.
Christina's scene is short but, as Ralphus said, the dirt makes all the difference. This is an aspect that might need more exploring.
Lisa's scenes once again rate high. Liked the drenched prone on the floor scene. High marks for the lowering on the plug and the pseudo snuff scene. Another nice touch was her waking up to her rape in progress. My only criticism is when she escaped. After all she had been through in the last two movies, I would have expected her to bolt out without taking time to dress. This too would have offered the opportunity for a nude pursuit scene which with Lisa, could only be good.
But why quibble, its a great flick, and while it won't ace out SOB-IV, I really don't expect anything to in the next few years, that's just the law of averages. My score: B to SOB-IV's A, or, a solid A when averaged amongst the other ZFX titles.
