Not to be taken lightly, when this title says severe, it means it. With classic torture devices such as hot wax, a cat o'nine, clothespins and rough hewn rope, there wouldn't seem to be a whole lot of room for creativity, but this Japanese title proves otherwise. Though dark and oddly censored (everyone's genitals are pixilated into obscurity), the carefully illuminated by flashlight rope work is nicely presented, and the use of a cat o'nine tails to lash dried wax from the submissive girls body is thrilling.

On the whole, though the scenes seem unrelated and difficult to follow, a couple of them do exhibit truly exquisite torture, which helps makes up for what this title lacks in Finesse.
