Good story, Not enough for a whole film

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Blistering performances.

Slightly reminiscent of (a much tamer) Marquis de Sade's Justine or Anne Rice's the Claiming of Sleeping Beauty, this soft-core film from the 70's features a virgin's journey through sexual discovery via her perverse masters after the death of her uncle. The acting leaves much to be desired and we're never shown anything too hard core, though nudity and lesbian scenes are sprinkled all throughout. The story is interesting in theory and the dungeon scenes alone make this hard to find film worth at least one viewing. I would have preferred to read an erotica like this, though. Maybe the version I have was faulty, but the ending was oddly clipped together and rushed and the audio was off. More detail into the orgies could have improved the rushed telling of Cecily's six months of sexual servitude. I'm left wondering if there are other copies of this film that feel less incomplete. For all its faults with acting and pacing, I'm still glad to have seen this and would recommend this to any fan of erotic 70's cinema.

This is an outstanding story to say the least. As a virgin, poor Cecily is seduced by the mistress of the house she works in. Exposed to nightly orgies, her narration of the circumstances sounds so innocent and sweet. Even in the dungeon scene her innocence is portrayed so well even up to her rape by 2 of the dungeon keepers. There is a test pattern taking place on my version of the film on VHS, I don't know if this was an attempt at censorship, or a recording glitch, it would be interesting to know if there is a directors cut out there, because it would be interesting to see, if the test pattern actually omitted real footage.....

The torture room scene in this movie is pretty amazing. A number of very beautiful women are put on the rack. Unfortunately, the VHS version available through Amazon UK seems to edit out the whole scene. There has to be the 'directors cut' out there.

A pseudo porn film from the 1970's, the only reason to see this film is the dungeon scene, which is fairly lengthy. Other than that, the movie has no redeeming social value.Angela Fields plays Cecily, who is sold into servant-hood to pay for her father's debts. After a bit of sexual debauchery, Cecily decides to flee the estate and is pursued by the man of the house, who suffers a fatal heart attack during the chase and dies. Cecily makes her way onto another estate where she is captured for theft and thrown into prison. Which leads us to the dungeon scene.Cecily is kept in a cage while another girl is interrogated as a witch. The girl is nude, stretched on a rack, and whipped as the prosecutor tries to break her. After passing out from the beating, the girl is revived with water and burned with a hot iron, after which she soon dies. Cecily is then strung up nude in a cage, then put in the stocks and beaten, and then placed on the rack as well. She's raped, whipped, and finally agrees to go back to the estate as a sex slave to the mistress of the manor. During this whole scene, Cecily is narrating, in a very Gothic manner, of the horrors she's seeing. This is more of a distraction than a "mood improver".I have to give credit to the blonde actress who is strung on the rack, beaten, and burned. She's very lovely and does a good job of playing a victim. Too bad the film's credits don't list her name. I'd like to see some of her other films.
