Alexxis plays a bad girl whose mother tries "tough love" - and Nicole Bass is momma's friend who helps the girl mend her ways. With makeup straight from The Rocky Horror Picture Show, Bass uses verbal abuse, humiliation, terror, spanking, bondage, face slapping and more. It's high theater with enough reality to evoke a groin-tingling electric current. It's top-notch role-playing. Bass uses the right equipment and the right way. Even a large carved dog doubles as a paddling bench in a puppy/humiliation sequence.

Joey Strange's two scenes are snoozy, by-the-numbers play. The elements are there: tit flogging, ass paddling, clothespins, nipple clamps, hemostats on pussy lips, incense sticks used in a cigarette-like heat torture section, candle waxing, even a two-handed quirt session. It's walked through without passion or intensity; it's obligatory and sexless beyond a few whimpers and ouches.
