BDSM Movie Review

"Scrapbook"

2000- 95 Mins.-  UnRated/Un-cut - Dir- Eric Stanze Cast: Emily Haack, Tommy Biondo, others

Plot Summary: "A young woman named Clara is captured by a serial killer named Leonard who records his "life story" by keeping a scrapbook of his many victims. In addition to adhering Polaroid's, scraps of clothing, and other small trophies to the pages, Leonard has forced his victims to personally write in the scrapbook about their individual ordeals. Clara is beaten, raped, starved, and locked up like an animal, filthy and naked. She is forced to write in the scrapbook, adding her agony to the pages. She soon realizes that her only hope for survival is to manipulate Leonard through her writings in his cherished scrapbook.."  Sometimes you watch a movie and you want to wash your hands afterwards. With this movie, you want to take a long hot shower and scrub with a stiff brush from head to toe. Director Eric Stanze has made a movie that people in Hollywood talk about making, but never make. Not even close. It's a story about a man who kidnaps a woman and subjects her to various degradations while shooting video for his true to life story. Emily Haack is his captive and I'm almost too embarrassed to write about what she goes through including anal sex with brown consequences, a golden shower, forced BJ, extremity cut off and on and on and on. And yes, she really is peed on as she tells about it on the DVD commentary. This has to be one of our top 25 BDSM movies because when you watch it, you realize that if Stanze had a big budget and good technical crew and sophisticated equipment, people might be raving about this the same way they talked about A Clockwork Orange when it came out. As it is, he shot this on a shoestring budget with not much of a crew and still it has impact. This is definitely NOT for most movie goers. . Be Warned -  this is some sick shit in more ways than one. The acting by Biondo (who also wrote the script) is bad and it has it's share of flaws, but no matter how you feel about it, it will leave an impression on you. And while it may not be a good impression, it is a lasting impression.
