She carries a prize the Father bequeathed to her, or rather inside her. Barbara desires to be the Enforcer and accommodates the Father for her own gain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/3hattergrindhouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/maleficarummonxamalathefilm_00030508.jpgresize.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/3hattergrindhouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/maleficarummonxamalathefilm_00030508.jpgresize.jpg?w=500&amp;h=282\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13867\" style=\"width:740px;height:auto\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Julia (Stephanie Vargas): The masochist.

First is the whipping post where the crucifixions are also carried out. It\u2019s a Freudian phallic symbol and central to the male dominance of the dungeon. Leticia\u2019s suffering while manacled to it is the main focus of the film. Later, Lucrecia also spends time there when her usefulness to the Father is finished.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Second is the metal collar. Attached to the post, it immobilizes its victim, holding her in place for her punishment. The circular shape is a Freudian symbol for female genitalia, as is the wheel, of course, and a reminder that the Father controls the most intimate of female parts for his pleasure. When Leticia and Lucrecia endure their tribulations, the collar enforces their submission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/3hattergrindhouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/mmmv2sc15_9951_00011613.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/3hattergrindhouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/mmmv2sc15_9951_00011613.jpg?w=500&amp;h=281\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13810\" style=\"width:740px;height:auto\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The third is the rack.
