I'd forgotten myself how good some of his scenes can be.....best ratio of orgasms-per-viewer-half hour on the planet.... ZEE-EF-EX: Dude.....It's the same answer my mainstream director friend gives me when I ask "How do you get a million dollars to make a movie?" YOU JUST HAVE THE BALLS TO ASK FOR IT. Mingle.

Comments: | Hey, if you want to see some better shots from Dark Offerings, go to http://www.zfx-shockwave.com/ I've been going to them for videos for the past few years. Anyway, they currently have 4 vidcaps up from the vid. Decent sized, and you can see some of what's there a lot better than the cap of the back of the box. Looking good. SB |

Comments: | Mark~I not really sure which of my postings you are refering to but I know Ricks got a good dunking scene in SOB5. There's also a Jay Edwards video that had a great ending scene (even though there's not any plot to them) where he throws Bambi (I still think Bambi is one of the hottest bondage models ever!) into a pool with her hands tied behind her back and ankles tied. I thinks it's JEV-52. There's also a company named "Aqua Fantasies" (link above in e-mail address) who offers some bondage in some of their drowning videos. Hope this helps. Later. |

Comments: | Hey all, been gone for a while. I was wondering, did we ever get to ask Penelope Pace questions? If we did, and I missed it, could someone repost them? If not, may I submit these questions: 1) How did you get so flexible for some of the positions Rick puts you in? 2) Why did you decide to get new boobs and do you like the new ones? 3) Do you enjoy playing victim or top better? 4) How much longer will you keep making these movies and do you have any other acting aspirations? Thanks. |

Comments: | Hi Gary:The ZFX site you are refering too on the forum is streaming without permission. While legal action is being undertaken, please refrain from promoting this site. This guy is not paying for the rights to stream, does not have permission and is also using the name ZFX illegally. ZFX is a registered trade mark and cannot be used to promote or distribute or broadcast without permission. Going to this guys site is a taking money out of my pocket and the pocket of those who work for me, the pocket that produces new material, and giving it to some asshole who is stealing and producing nothing but legal headaches for me, and also himself. BTW, the streaming on his site looks like shit, but thats what happens when you capture off VHS copies....Real ZFX Streaming is coming(taken off the masters) and it surely wont look like the the mud hes hocking. About Penelope:Unfortunately, I have not heard from her in a while, hope all is well and that she contacts me again, but uless she does, obviously she will not be available to answer questions. I hope she will be around this fall(she travels on a circut)and gets in touch=)If I can I will have her come in for some questions, and I'll give you a heads up right here if thats going to happen.

Comments: | OOHH SHIT! Am I embarassed! DUDES! The "ZFXVideo.com" streaming website is a fucking PIRATE! A totally PIRATE WEBSITE! It's some slime in Israel who's taken a bunch of Ricks' tapes and VidCap'd them into his computer and set up a whole site with shopping cart and fucking company bio and all! WHAT BALLS!! INCREDIBLE!! I apologize for being so "up" about it! I really thought on first look that it was Ricks' site.......SO BE WARNED! If this shit has THAT much balls, he's got the balls to take your money and give you nothing in return, SO DON'T BUY ANYTHING THERE!! Besides, Rick needs to get paid first... |

Comments: | If the ZFX pirate is in Israel, Rick might have his hands full running him down. I'm not sure how international copyrights and the web work together. Tho...If he's in Israel, they might have local laws prohibiting that sort of business, so it might be as simple as one email to the right place. Peace, Iago |

Comments: | Rick, you need to do your OWN zfx streaming web site...I asked about this before, but I never got a response...Have you ever thought about doing this?? I think something like this could only help your business.....Heck, you should charge yearly or monthly memberships or just a certain amount of money to watch one video.....I'm upset because the store I went to in Denver is slowly phasing out your videos, and that was the only place I could go to rent:(. And there is no way I can afford 45 to 50 for one video....but I would play a good sum of money to see streaming videos...Anyway, please consider this for the future!....... mystic |

Comments: | Mystic, from Rick's reply below, it does appear that a streaming site is on the way. While I probably won't use it for much other than previewing tapes that I don't have yet to see if I want to purchase them, I know others have been looking forward to it. Personally I just can't take the loss in quality. Now what I'm REALLY looking forward to, is the day that Rick can start producing DVDs. Though I imagine this is a fair bit away as I believe production costs for mastering a DVD are still a bit pricey. SB |

Comments: | I wanted to ask the forum what they believe the best Victoria Vixen videos/scenes are, as I'm looking to purchase tapes featuring her. I got a glimpse of her in Highway to Hell, but she got the shaft in terms of screentime in that flick. I saw a bit of what she did in Dance Macabre, but I didnt think it was that great. Info on her scenes in Jennifer's Nightmares, SpreadEagle and Meanstreak would be appreciated. |

Comments: | MAV: Here's some good Victoria Vixxen tapes to check out. One of my favorite ZFX tapes PERIOD is "Future Shock", and among the highlights is an awesome interrogation scene of Victoria by Rick and Travis Lee. The stretch her out along the floor and give her entire body the multiple clothespin treatment, even on her face. It's probably the best clothespin scene ZFX has ever shot, and Victoria was quite a trouper. The rest of the film is great, too. Other good Victoria movies: "Erotic Bondage Confessions", the aforementioned "Guinea Pigs" and "Guinea Pigs 2" (great tit torture there) and my first ZFX tape I ever saw, "Scene of the Crime", where she gets hot wax torture and tied spread-eagled to the bed. She also had a good bondage rape scene in "Belly of the Beast". These are all good videos, especially if you are a fan of the big-chested babe Victoria (Love those natural boobies!). |
Name: | Iago |
Comments: | MAV: I'm with Ralphus on Future Shock. Victoria looked great in that movie, and got a really harsh treatment. It also features a (always) hot Alison Parrish, and another gal whose name escapes me at the moment...Courtney Bishop, maybe? |
Name: | Joe Smith |
Comments: | Re: Victoria Vixxen - I loved Belly of the Beast. There was a beautifully simple scene where her wristes are tied behind her attacker's neck as he gropes her. Lots of bouncing action. Then, the other extreme, she's bound tightly in some leather stuff. Re: Penelope - damn, I hope that doesn't mean she won't be making any more movies. Please, say it isn't so! |

Comments: | Hello to all!!! Ok, the ZFX site has been updated as of last night. The new show, Dark Offering, is there with captures and a trailer. Also added more video clips for such shows as Supermax, Seed, WarPigs4 and Guinea Pigs 3 with the super cute Kimber Allen, as well as a few others. More clips will be going up as time goes on. Unfortunately, the Fuct in Space series continuation is not yet done, so it has not been added yet. Also Im working on another 3D comic strip called Monster Men, but it was not done in time. I will try to get them up ASAP. Jaekill: DVDs are coming, I have most of the equipment in place to make them and in fact have made some test DVDs. The problem is the media, DVD R, is still too costly to make producing them en masse cost effective. If anyone finds some sharp prices on General Purpose DVD R 4.7 GB blanks gimme a holler. The cheapest I've found is 7.50 and that still too high. The prices will decay though, a DVD blank cost no more than a CD R to manufacture and those go for .43 cents at this point. I know it often seems I move at glacial speeds, but I have alot of things going at one time and these things just take time. Also, the technology has to be affordable to small companies like ZFX before it can be done, but its getting within reach. As an example, DVD burners were about $17,000.00 3 years ago, they are now about $600.00-$800.00. Big difference! Victoria Vixxen: Hmmm, I have to go along with Future Shock, she did an awesome job on that show. Scene of the Crime probably would be second, again she did an awesome job. Underwater: I have no plans to do anything, but it's an interesting idea. Ok, thats it for now,thanks to everyone who watches the movies, reads here and posts.I would like to take this opportunity to thank the many folks who let me know when they see bootleggers and scam artists and take the time to Email me. This is the number one threat right now to the survival of ZFX. Ironic that the government is not the problem, the problem is from within the industry itself. It means alot to have people looking out for me and it seems ZFX fans are everywhere and no where all at once. I will try to look out for you by producing the best porno shows I can....thanks for your support.... Rick |

Comments: | Rick: Glad to see DVD's are coming eventually. I'm pretty much holding off on your older titles that I've seen just because I'd have to re-purchase them once they are released on DVD. :) Big D: I just received Fantom Kiler 1 and 2. Great stuff, but it's more in line with Snuff films than with what Rick offers in the ZFX videos. Though the scene with the lady strapped to the hood of a car and then electrocuted using jumpers from the car batter in the 2nd video was nice. Anyway, it's more along the lines of fantasy snuff than bondage. Still good production values for a film coming out of (I believe) Czechoslovakia. Also, just finished up with Dark Offering. Another great effort and another gorgeous cutie. I love how her nipples responded. And the upside down suspension was very nice. Still, I was vaguely disappointed, though I can't say by what. I loved the video but didn't find it as satisfying as say Forced Entry or Alien Probe. I think it may have been a lack of "costuming." Unlike quite a few men it seems, I prefer to see them in something. The ripped leotard in Forced Entry was great, always reminding us of the aerobics workout. The garters and stockings in Alien Probe particularly effective in always reminding the viewer that this was some snootie office girl. I suppose I'm as much a fetishist as a Bondage and forced sex lover. :) The socks however were definitely a nice touch. And I'm definitely looking forward to the next Ballista. I believe Rick mentioned revisiting the "tentacle" theme. Yummy, I'm hoping for some nice wrapped in tentacles penetration scenes. SB |

Comments: | Rick mentioned Kimber Allen - I had almost forgotten about her. Definitely a real cutie, and IMHO never looked better than in "Chamber of Horrors". I have always liked Rick's sci-fi type flicks, and this one has the 'ol invisible assailant theme, one of my faves. And a great forced oral scene, another that ranks high on my list. |

Comments: | Big D: Some time ago on this forum I went into detail about "Fantom Kiler 2"; basically it is a horror film made for bondage enthusiasts. The bondage is really highlighted; you might say the director dwells on it, shooting it from all different angles. The women are all beautiful, and they all get stripped, bound, and gagged and tortured before getting killed. Like Silent Buddha mentioned, the scene where the girl is tied to the car hood and shocked with the jumper cables attached to her nipples is especially memorable. All I can say is that I thought it was awesome! There is NO WAY a horror film like this could ever be released theatrically in the United States. The naked bondage, the misogyny...the potential negative publicity would scare away any distributor from ever taking a chance. I would strongly recommend it to anyone with a strong stomach, because this film is something special, IMO. BTW, mine took quite a while to get here from overseas. I was getting worried for a while that it wouldn't show. I don't remember exactly how long, but it may have been close to two months. The wait was worth it. Silent Buddha: Since you've seen the first "Fantom Kiler", does it have any bondage in it at all? I saw a preview of parts one and three and it looked like zilch, which is odd because Part 2 is loaded with it. |

Comments: | Ralphus, okay, I'm getting ready to order Fanthom 1 and 2, I figure I'd snatch them in case they decided to go away in the near future. Now do I want (PAL) or NTSC. I'm in the United States, so which format would it be? On the order page they both say VHS, but one has NTSC and the other has PAL next to it.... Thanx in advance! BigD |

Comments: | BigD: I wouldn't worry about it. I ordered mine online via credit card and had no problem. Credit cards are actually safer in one way because if you don't get the merchandise, you have 60 days to have the credit card company withhold payment. If you write a check to a foreign company, they could cash it the first day and maybe never send you what you ordered. I sure don't want to have to deal with calling long distance trying to track down a lost or missing order, especially in a country that doesn't even speak my language. I don't recall if they have a secure online ordering system, but they did fine by me, if that's any help. |
Name: | Silent Buddha |
Comments: | Big D: The videos took around 2-4 weeks to arrive. DVD Zone is located in England so don't about ordering it from some of the former Eastern Block countries. It was well worth the wait. Ralphus: Part 1 definitely has some nice bondage scenes in it. In the last scene a Lady is strapped to a bed while the Fantom Kiler shoves a mop up her pussy. There are more women in part 1 also but the scenes consequently don't last as long. It doesn't feature that annoying car chase that interrupted the whole first scene in part 2 though. I hated that it flashed from the Girl to the Police detective constantly. And one of the greatest little things they did in part 1 is a couple janitors talking about women as they came through their place of work. And as they talked about them they would show the women undressed going about and doing normal things. IE - the janitors "imagining what they looked like without clothes on." It was great stuff. Part 1 does feature less bondage though, but has more chase scenes. It also has more "humor." Overall I like part 1 more than part 2. But the car hood and ladder scene in part 2 were better than most of the scenes in part 1. Either way I'm glad I bought both of them. I can't wait for part 3 and already have it pre-ordered. One last thing, if anyone here is an old porno fan. You can purchase Traci Lord's old (before they were banned in the states) videos from this place, but it's using their paper order form. They don't have them listed for online purchase yet. SB |

Comments: | First of all I'd like to say I think Rick makes the best tapes out.

Comments: | I liked Xtractor. The beginning has Alison Parish in a very nice short black skirt and a button-down blouse getting slowly tied up and disrobed by her, well, not-so cute attacker. Next, Alison has a great scene where she is strapped doggie-style to this electroshock soul-sucking machine. Alison struggles well, emotes well, and has great and pained facial expressions. One of the troubles with Xtractor was that Alison was so good in the movie that she made the others look worse than they were. A good flick, though. In Raplhus style, I'll give it a solid B. |

My heart and thoughts go out to the families of the many who have lost loved ones in this act of barbarism. This is a powerful reminder of what can happen when intolerant religious zealots take control of a country.

Comments: | There has been an ocean said and written about what happened on the 11th. I am not eloquent enough to add to the fine sentiments and outpouring of sadness and pride that has followed. But I do know one thing. If we let these terrorists stop us from loving life, and from loving the things that bring us happiness, then they have won. I will not let them win. Never, in my heart, will they dampen my appreciation for life, or for our liberties as a free and diverse people. Post, guys. But please post happy things. Post about the great times you have with our fetish, about the love you have for video, and the hours of pleasure they have brought. We can't bring our lost ones back.

Comments: | Every so often in years past I would think to myself...I'm surprised that something like this has not already happened. I don't fly alot but I remember being asked, "Did you or anyone else open your bag.....?" Like if I or anyone else did, I was going to inconvenience myself by saying yes. But not only the shotty security of the airlines but the media is a major thorn in the side of public safety. They air these stories on how they were able to get into restricted area's or do features on the intelligence agencies and air how they are able to monitor movement and conversations by unsavory political groups and basically tell them what and how they do it. Guess what...anyone who was at first under the assumption that they were stealth suddenly realizes they need to adjust their methods of communications. Everything's about ratings and no conscious thoughts on the consequences of their publicly airing of their findings. Anyway, let's get back on topic. I have to say that Jessica Alba looks totally hot with long straight hair. I mention it because of the fact she reminds me a little of Lisa Kinkade. I think Lisa would look totally hot also if she ever decided to change her hairstyle in the same manner. I can't remember where I saw it but there was a film some time ago where a method of torture was the use of packaging tape applied to the pubic hair region and yanked off. I mention this because I don't think I've seen it in any ZFX films (Although I haven't seen everything). Oh and before anyone writes in to mention about the discomfort of such acts let me just add that that's why there's editing. Things can be done to make the illusion of being the actual article. Like in this case (just off the top of my head) maybe some Vaseline and the sound effect of the ripping off of tape. And to the conscious driven individuals (and that's a good thing) who pointed out that they didn't think anyone would compromise the safety and put in peril an actress to film such a scene as my bathtub water running scenario where the actress is tied to the bottom of the tub with a thin cord around her throat fished through the bottom of the drain, then given a breathing tube as the water rises. Again, editing. First film the scene as described, then cut and untie the cord and re-tie it around the actress's throat only so it makes it look as though she's still tied to the bottom of the tub but in reality she can lift her head anytime she needs to. SO STOP TAKING ME SO SERIOUSLY (grin). Looking forward to getting back to normal but still retaining thoughts of the unfortunate victims and families. Later. |

Comments: | Hi guys. I haven't posted at all in the past few weeks, but I agree with the rest of the recent comments that we can't let ourselves get down. With the recent tragedies that have befallen our nation lately, and the fact that this country will soon be at war, it's easy to get distracted from the focus of this group. As sympathetic as I am to the thousands of victims of this horrible event, when I come here, I like to escape from the real-life horrors and delve more into fantasy ones. I would like to see this forum become a sanctuary from the outside world, a place we can go to take our mind off everything that's happened. So let's keep our focus straight and concentrate on the real reason we're here. A few comments: AvF, I'm not sure I see the resemblance between Lisa Kinkaid and Jessica Alba, but I will agree with you on one thing: they are both beautiful young women. Jessica Alba is looking so hot these days, especially now with that longer hair! And a teaser from the season opener of "Dark Angel" implies that she may get gagged on that episode, too. Click on the link above on my Homepage URL for a pic I got from Bindher's site. I don't ever watch that show, but you can bet I'll be rolling tape that night! Regarding the pulling of pubic hair as a torture, I like that idea! Actually, I've seen it done several times in Japanese bondage tapes. A lot of them are done in such a way that you don't actually see any pubic hair until it is pulled out (You can't show genitals in Japan; I know, it's silly), but with proper editing, those scenes are very effective. I know Rick is probably against "mutilation"; maybe that's why he doesn't show any actual burn marks when a young lovely is burned with a cigarette, but I think that's a great idea. Regarding your bathtub idea, this is the first I remember you mentioning it, but it sounds intriguing, too. There was an episode of "Profiler" a few years ago where a woman was tied in a bathtub in such a way that she would drown as the water got higher and higher. She got rescued at the last minute, but that's okay. One of my favorite parts of the damsel in distress scenario is the suspense involved as the girl is put through a "deathtrap". Will she escape or be rescued in time, or will the ropes tighten around her neck and she'll drown? At any rate, it's a nice torture idea, one that Rick explored, sort of, when he had the blonde cutie put through drowning torture in "Squealer" several years ago. That's enough for now. New review coming tomorrow. Let's hear some comments, people! |

Iīve been (and still am) shocked about what happened in your country but I hope your president is smart enough not to answer murder with murder. YOU ARE NOT IN A WAR YET; DONTīT LET THESE PEOPLE TELL YOU!! Itīs nonsense! Killing men, women and children in Afghanistan wonīt stop terrorists, it will increase the number of fanatics fighting for them instead.

Comments: | RALPHUS' ZFX REVIEW: "DARK OFFERING" As ZFX's latest video "Dark Offering" opens, a masked, hooded figure (Satan?) sits alone in a darkened room, masturbating to a video of two naked girls in bondage, Lisa Kinkaid and Bridgette Bayone, tied back to back. Both girls are seated on the floor, their hands tied over their heads, their legs tied to each other, and clothespins adorn each of their nipples and pussies. Both are ballgagged. An unseen villain works them over by molesting their bound bodies, fingering the clothespins and forcing each girl to suck a dildo that he shoves into their mouths. It's some tight, handheld footage that looks like outtakes from an older video (maybe "As Darkness Falls" perhaps?). Then we see another two-girl bondage set, with Lisa looking lovely in a hogtie on the floor, this time gagged with yellow tape. Next to her is Bridgette tied to a pole in a standing position, although her ass rests on a horizontal board attached to the pole behind her. Her arms are again tied above her, with her legs spread out wide and tied apart, and even her knees are bound apart and secured to the board. She is gagged with what appears to be a small towel, folded and stuffed in her mouth, and rope is circled around her head and the pole onto which she is tied. There is some nice, handheld camerawork that really shows off the bondage, although ultimately this footage doesn't have anything to do with the rest of the story, since neither Lisa nor Bridgette do not appear in the rest of the tape. It's mainly just filler, but it gives us a chance to see two pretty girls struggle in bondage, always a good thing. The real story thus begins about 15 minutes or so into the tape. A cloaked, satanic figure advices his disciples to find a virgin and sacrifice her to the devil. This leads us to pretty blonde newcomer Suzi Sexton in her ZFX debut. She arrives at her home and is swiftly attacked by the three hooded Satanists, who were already there and waiting for her. They bind her wrists behind her with rope, quiet her with a mouth-filling gag and in a nice touch, the terrified girl wets her pants. She is quickly taken from her home and brought back to the lair to their leader. Suzi is laid out across a large table and her clothes are stripped off her. She is loosely tied to the table as the four men grab and probe her naked skin. "It's time for the ceremonial waxing", the leader announces. While the other men hold her down, he approaches with two red candles, and wax is liberally dripped onto her upper torso, with special attention given to her breasts. It's a decent scene, and the wax is easy to see on her body. It's good to see ZFX continue with candle-waxing in their tapes, something that used to be relatively rare. The next scene has Suzi alone, tied to the table on her hands and knees, with her perky breasts dangling down and her ass out and vulnerable. She is still gagged with the original gag, but the wax from the previous scene has now disappeared. Through the use of animation and special effects, her ass is now raped by an invisible demon. It's a nice attempt, even if the effect is perhaps less than successful. At this point, two of the men return and give Suzi a thorough whipping, in a rather long and padded scene. She eventually collapses into unconsciousness. At this point, the tape kicks it up a notch when Suzi is tied to a wall, hanging in an upside-down spreadeagle. One of the men enters and proceeds to sexually penetrate her pussy with a dildo, working it down deep inside her. He eventually leaves it tied inside of her, tying it off around her waist. He further makes her cry into her gag when he affixes clothespins onto her nipples and breasts, then adds some to her pussy lips, as well. She is left alone to suffer in this unfortunate position. It's a good scene, my favorite of the tape. The next scene has Suzi forced to walk on her hands and knees, with a leash attached to the eyehook on her gag. The men then roughly lead her to the middle of the room, where she is flipped over on her back and held down by the others while the leader rapes her pussy, cumming on her body. As always, it's a simulated rape with a rubber dildo, but well-directed and something you look forward to seeing in any ZFX vid. Suzi's next bondage scene has her tied in an uncomfortable position, arms tied above, and she is forced to stand on one leg, with the other leg tied off out to the side. Chain is hung though the eyelet in her gag and looped down between her legs. Then to increase her misery, one of the men decides to add clothespins to her breasts and pussy, and proceeds to give her several hard slaps to her inner thighs. In the brief final scene, Suzi is left alone, tied to a rack, where she manages to untie the ropes that held her. She runs away and escapes, and that's the end, except for a coda that says she later embarked on a career of S&M films based on her experience. Uh huh. Like ZFX's previous feature, "Phallicide", this tape has its moments, but doesn't really aspire to greatness like some of ZFX's previous efforts. Most of what we see has been done before, and better, in other tapes. Suzi Sexton is competent in her first appearance for Rick Masters, but this tape sorely needs a strong villain like Joseph Marx or someone who can inject a sense of evil fun into the proceedings. There is very little dialogue in the tape, and while the images are quite dramatic, the tape needed that extra edge to work better. If you like the satanic theme, it was handled better, and more ambitiously, in "666" and its sequel. Compared to almost everything out there, "Dark Offering" is a masterpiece. Compared to ZFX's other works, my standards are higher. My grade: C plus. |

Comments: | Hi, all Ralphus, many thanks for your latest review. Quality is great as ever, giving a good impression of the movie. "Gangbanger Tapes" at Slavelaborpoductions: Could anybody say something about these three movies? Quality, content, models, acting? Is this company relieable? This place has become very quiet. Crawl out of your bunkers, guys, and do some posting! Jaeckill |

Comments: | Jaeckill: Thanks for the compliment. If anyone has any diverging opinions, please feel free to post them. My review is certainly not gospel; it's just my opinion. BTW, if anyone would like to read any of my old reviews, I'm glad to announce that they have FINALLY all been archived together on the site. All 23 reviews can be accessed by clicking on my Homepage URL link above. Since I'm taking over as moderator, I've slowly been learning HTML, so expect more updates to the site in the weeks and months to come. I just do this in my free time, and I have a lot of irons in the fire, so it won't be immediate. But this site will be completely updated eventually, with all the older posts archived and available for everyone who wants to see them. Regarding the Gangbanger tapes, I bought one of them, the first one, "Bondage Gangbang". I was surprised that I didn't like the first segment, with the girl tied to the bed, since that was the one I bought it for. The second segment, with a girl attacked outside in the woods, made up for it. Her crying/acting was more realistic and the segment was more believable. My main problem with the tape, particularly the first segment, was the video quality, which appeared to have been shot on standard analog VHS and dubbed down to a blurry, hard-to-see final product. In this day and age of improved video production, I was shocked to have paid $40 for a tape that looked that bad. The other problem was that it was one of those "set up the camera and go" type of videos, with almost no attempt to change angles or make it more interesting for the viewer. Rick Masters, by contrast, edits his tapes with several shots, adds music and sound effects and gives the audience a real movie. This was closer to security camera footage. Content-wise it was good. Will I buy another tape from the Gangbanger series? No, they are not worth the money, IMO. I hate to monopolize the board lately. Time to give someone else a chance to speak. Go for it, guys. |

Comments: | Finally got to see "Dark Offering"! I have to place it mid-point in the canon, which, to paraphrase Ralphus, still makes it better than most every thing else out there, but it does not reach the lofty peaks established by some previous ZFX productions. First off, Suzi Sexton is gorgeous and for that alone is enough to give it good position at the starting line. I wish though that we had got to know her better before she was abducted and gagged. One of the finer points of earlier home invasion themed movies is that brief glimpse of normalcy before the festivities begin. Not to belabor and old debate, but for my preference, after stripping she was still a bit overdressed. I liked the table top whipping, but it did not reach the sublime heights of Kimberly Noble's sweaty drool flecked performance in a similar scene in "Underland". Not to worry though, few things do. BTW, (stop me if you have heard this one before), but in my opinion, Kimberly Noble is one of the best actresses in ZFX productions. Sure, I can wax philosphic on all things Kelly McKay and Lisa Kinkaid, but is there a better five minutes of lurid pathos than the upside down whipping scene in "666"? Mousetraps on her nipples and opened up with clips strung and taped to her thighs, she is given an epic whipping but hoarsly cries "don't leave me" when it ends, knowing the horrors of being left that way might be worse than the whipping itself. (This is one of those "lofty peaks" I mentioned earlier.) "Dark Offering" though is not without what I call "ZFX moments". The short scene of her being lead crawling on all fours across the cement floor is worth the price of admission alone, and what's there not to love about a beautiful woman being gang groped on a table top? There really isn't anything out there that consistantly approaches this stuff. I also liked the Lisa/Bridgette scene at the begining. There is just something about Lisa... It does wet the appitite for Ballista-3 doesn't it? |

Comments: | I was caught by surprise by Jaeckel's comment that he's more worried about the America's response to the terrorist act than about the terrorists. From what I've read, the goal is to go in and get bin Laden, not start a war with Afghanistan. The question is less what the US will do than what Afghanistan will do to prevent the US from bringing a man to justice for slaughtering 6000 civilians and destroying a national landmark and attacking the capitol. I'm not aware of any other option. Even if the US caves into every one of bin Laden's demands (thus validating the value of performing terrorist acts), does anybody think that he's going to thank us, disband his network of terrorists, and not kill any more innocents? Muslims are giving naming their children "Osama" because of his success for attacking the United States. His ranks are increasing because of what he has accomplished. Destroying bin Laden's ability to finance a well organized terrorist network will make it impossible to mount the kind of attacks seen on New York and Washington. Terrorism won't end, but it's nuts to always react after lives are lost. Israel's eye-for-an-eye policy hasn't stopped terrorism in their country, but they've never seen anything on this scale. That's probably because there would have been 6000 dead Muslims the next day had they been the target. My biggest concern is how many American lives will be lost by not taking the most expedient means of eliminating bin Laden. There was a discussion about Lisa Kinkaid being a Jessica Alba look-alike. Take a look at the Sep 24 Anything Goes page at http://brianspage.com/forums.shtml because this gal is a dead ringer. You'll have to scroll down a bunch of pages to get to the two pix, but it's a treat. Thanks for the latest review, Ralphus. "Dark Offering" looks like it's more of a renter than something I'd buy. |

Comments: | re: DVDs Lyndon has a number of DVDs of their vids, and they're priced from 14.75 to 16.75 (halfprice or less than their vhs videos). The site also says 'ALL DVD'S with Auto Start, Auto Repeat & No Regional Coding.' I'm thinking Rick should give 'em a call and see if he can find out how they're able to do that. My guess would be that they're probably not burning dvd-r's, but are having them pressed somewhere. ZFX videos for $14.75....one can dream :) |

Comments: | RR: I didnīt want to start a political discussion here as this isnīt the right forum for that, so a short answer to you: They definately should try to get this BinLaden asshole and other leaders of his organisation but a man who owns (estimated) 400 million $ will know how to escape the US attack. Iīm sure he already sits in Saudi Arabia or maybe in the USA, warm and comfortable, waiting to watch the americans bombing a desert, or, even worse, causing alot of "collateral damage" and by doing this, producing even more hate and more nuts people giving their lives for him. Military wonīt get him. Secret services and police might do it, I hope. Scribbler: Sounds promising. Jaeckill |

Comments: | And now for something completely different... Hey Rick, have you given any more thought to that ZFX online game? It's one of those sad but helpful things that, now that the economy is turning south a bit, the computer industry is getting hit first. Right now you could probably get 3D modelers and programmers (especially college kids) for a song. Use that new version of Auran Jet, and your development costs would be very low, maybe 10% of that original number we discussed last year. There is also a new movement (well, going for about a year now) of "guerilla" gaming companies purposefully planning their games around smaller numbers of subscribers, anywhere from 25,000-50,000 for a big release. It really helps them in terms of competing with the big companies. Add in that there isn't one single twisted adult persistent universe game out there, and consider that when times get bad, people stay home and look for things to do that don't cost too much...like a $10 a month multiplayer game. Everquest would have nothing on "ZFX Land." Gotta grow, gotta beef up that cash flow... (grin). How 'bout it, peoples? Do any of YOU think this would be a good idea? What do the card-carrying consumers out there say? Peace out, Iago |

Comments: | MrMarvin: Thank you very much for the kind words. Believe me, the actual tapes are more fun to watch than my reviews are to read. I just try to do the tapes justice in my descriptions and let others know what to expect. Hank: Those were great scans of the "The Pick-up" at your club. Makes me want to sit down and see it again. I love that movie! I'm glad you pointed out that site, because while I was a member at your original Yahoo group, I didn't know the Lycos one existed until you sent the link. You have lots of memories scanned on your groups, images from tapes I haven't seen in years. Thanks for all your hard work. Iago: I'm not really sure how a ZFX online game would work, but the possibilities are intriguing. I used to have the link to an interactive online game, done with animation, where you could shock a bound girl on either her tits or her pussy. You could deliver different levels of intensity to make her suffer a little, a lot, or zap her into unconsciousness. I have to admit, I thought it was great fun! Unfortunately, the last time I went there I got a 404, so I don't know if it ever got moved or completely deleted by the creator. Anyway, if ZFX were to come up with a similar interactive site, except with real performers like a Lisa Kinkaid or somebody like that, I would probably plunk down money to play a similar game online. Imagine putting yourself in the same place as a ZFX villain! You control what happens to the victims. I like that idea. Run with it! |

Comments: | Ralphus, I think Rick was planning something more along the lines of an Everquest-type thing, where you were the person seeing the animated world around you. I don't think live-action was part of the equation. I always thought that a land made to look like the ZFX universe (meaning full of hot chicks getting worked over by various types of wierdos like us) would be pretty cool, especially with a Tomb-Raider-type over-the-shoulder view. If I remember right, Rick was thinking more along the lines of a first-person shooter (think Doom or Half-Life) with some sort of twist. It seems to me that right about now technology is getting to the point where we could get a ZFX multiplayer online game, and probably for not too much money (relatively, anyway). It's always a crap shoot doing these things, though. I think Rick knows his audience pretty well, and has a feeling in his gut for whether this would work or not. Can't stop me from dreaming...

Comments: | Talking of games, I was thinking a while ago of writing a detailed text 'game'/'adventure' with a ZFX type of theme. I was pretty much going to do it for my own enjoyment, but I guess there might be others out there who would like to 'play along'. I know it's not as good as one with graphics, but it sure is a lot easier to get together. By the way, some of my stories appear at the club you can click on above (even though it's at that horrible place we were meant to be boycotting - sorry Rick, but I hope some good comes out of it). crowdow |
