This sequel starts off visually interesting with a dynamic premise for bondage: a student writing a paper on serial killers goes to the woodsy location of The Hillside Slasher's crimes, only to be abducted by her subject. Directors Karl Kagan and male star Master Aaron used lots of varied angles and quick editing, along with visual effects and good original music to convey the suspense. But what started out as really promising devolved to silly fun. Had they taken themselves more seriously, they would have really had something.

Aaron ties Synthia Slave to standing and fallen trees, tractors, benches and the like, and she's flogged, cut and made to urinate. But one quickly notices the flogging isn't too hard, she barely winces at the mousetraps on her tits, and the knife cutting with resultant blood is childishly simulated. Slave puts in a good screaming crying performance though, and long shots of her bound with rope or plastic wrap can entice.

Retailing: For your light bondage fan.
