CRUEL PASSION - A film which flaunts an association with 'Justine' but predictably is about as truly Sadean as an episode of Howard's Way. I always find it frustrating when a movie gives me a few images I really get off on, then nothing else. In this case, the sole point of interest pour moi was a dream sequence featuring Koo Stark writhing on a candle-lit cross surrounded by a crowd of PVC clad zombies. Seriously, if you're going to throw that in, make sure the rest of the film stands up. And it doesn't. It's a plodding travelogue following K Stark's sexual renaissance as she heads from nunsploitation convent to decadent London, where tedium prevails anyway. Beyond said perv zombie crucifixion dream things only pick up with a couple of meagre whippings and a last half hour swervy plot turn into Regency era western territory. Annoying, because I wanted to like it.
