"The Settlement" is by far one of the finest Rig-East/Lupus Pictures movie even if it often may be overshadowed by the more famous movies of this company.

The story is presented in form of a documentary of a allegedly real case. (There are rumors that "The Settlement" may be inspired by a real case that happened in Czechoslovakia in the 1990ies.)  Four young girls (two sisters and two friends of them) are strolling in a wood when suddenly heavy rain comes down. The girls break into a chalet deep in the wood seeking shelter from the rain. Of course their clothes are soaked and so they strip naked to dry their stuff. And since they are there they loot the stores of food and alcohol.

Comes in: the chalet owner and a forest ranger. They do not feel sympathetic to burglars. Of course. It's a spanking movie and somebody have to have a reason to punish somebody else...

But that's no the beginning of the movie. In the beginning we see a young girl walking around at home only covered by a towel when she leaves the bathroom. Her mother notices that her daugther's buttocks are heavily bruised and welted. Mother of course wants to know what has happend, the girl confesses what has happened and there we go - to the police. (It seems that mother is as outraged about her daughter doing something stupid as well as about somebody beating her bottom black and blue...)

All the girls, the chalet owner and the ranger are questioned at the police station. A physician had made photographs of the girls bruised buttocks which are displayed at the inspectors desktop. In a series of well cut flashbacks we see in length and detailed what has happened in that chalet then. The ranger holds the naked girls at gun-point with a shotgun while the chalet owner fetches a thick twig (a more than sufficient substitute for the regular Lupus cane!) and hands out some 15 to 20 strokes on the bare to each of the girls. These are squirming, struggling, fidgeting, screaming and crying.

Seems an everyday description to you as an experienced and demanding consumer of spanking and caning movies? Don't allow yourself to be decieved. 

"The Settlement" is an outstandig fine piece of erotic movie artwork. The caning scenes are superb. Girls beeing humiliated by adult men who hold them at gun-point while they have to bend over a old and shabby commode in the chalet one by one. The chalet's setting is perfect, the lighting is perfect, the acting of all characters is perfect. The girls suffering is not faked but very real. In the end their buttocks are bruised and welted in an astonishing way. You may bet that those poor spankee actresses had have some difficulties after the shooting.

It's a nasty story - a story of abuse of power. And the story goes on. At least the girls' parents, the chalet owner, the ranger and the police inspector agree that nothing really bad has happened. Four naughty girls broke into private property and then had to feel the proper consequences for their grievous misdemeanour. In the very last scene of "The Settlement" we see the two sisters kneeling with bared bottoms while their father rises a cane - to give them just an additional punishment.

Commendation: Only 28 minutes but by all means a really great corporal punishment movie. The spankee actresses are superb and giving their best. The other actors act at the same high level. We got to see four wonderful bruised beautiful bottoms, great reactions, tears, moaning, screaming, trembling legs. You virtually can feel the humiliation those poor girls had to bear. The story is quite plausible, very well written and very well filmed. Camerawork, lighting, sound set standards. The RGE/Lupus crew even was succesfull creating perfect images in this rather small and narrow "chalet". (It's just a small hut in the wood...)
Critics: It's not really believable that a girl who just had her bottom trashed yesterday would run through her family's flat almost naked so that her parents could see... But I don't want to be carping.
Resumée: One of the best pieces in a series of really good RGE/Lupus corporal punishment movies.
Wishlist: Next to having a hut somewhere in a Czech wood and getting unwanted visit by a bunch of nice and naughty masochistic czech girls (and finding some policemen with such an understanding for an appropriate punishment of such girls!) maybe a sequel. Ten years later these four girls meet again with the chalet owner and the ranger and think it's time for a re-enactment...

 

A Crime at St. Thomas School

Directed by: Thomas J. Marco
Written by: Pavel Stastny
Based on a story by: Tomas J. Marco
Pavel Stastny, Pavel Krcin Jan Zacek
Director of Photography: Rudolf P. Weiss
Editor: Erik Vassaluz
Starring: Michaella Mysh Judasova as Jana Kaudlova, Lucie Ramberkola as Kristyna Smidova, Katerina Podbelohorska as Lenka Hudlova
Producer/Label: Rig-East/Lupus Pictures
(1:05:23 hrs)

Be aware: this is not just another "bdsm porn movie". "A Crime at St.Thomas School" instead is a full scale movie in professional cinema quality dealing extensively with some erotic punishment phantasies.

Let me outline the story first. "St.Thomas School" is a conservative mannered school somewhere in the East (of Europe). Their conservativism sometimes is a little bit strange - as female pupils have to display their underwear in class so that the teacher can prove the girls are wearing appropriate dress - but that should not dim the viewer's pleasure. All these opening scenes serve for showing the mood, atmosphere and way of life at this old fashioned school for girls.

The girls - their age within the story may be 16 or 17 (the actresses are older than 18 of course) - are hacked off especially by their chemistry teacher who obviously thinks them to be mostly dull morons. That shall appear as a grave mistake because some of the girls are at least able to cleverly sabotage one of the chemistry teacher's experiments. Unfortunately this sabotage act is a little bit too successful and so the chemistry teacher is blown up together with his chemical substances and killed.

A treacherous act of murder in a spanking movie? Yes. But for some reasons of no further interest this crime is not handled by police and justice but by the board of the school and the headmistress. So nobody get jailed but it's the time for coporal punishment. If you can ignore that slight touch of a lack of reality nothing will stand in the way to enjoy the forthcoming disciplinary action. (Those opening scenes lasts some 33 minutes but again: this is not a simple porn movie but a full scale cinema style movie. So it's fine to see the storyline getting developed.)

At first the headmistress sends for a bigger paddle as those available at St.Thomas. A huge wooden paddle is delivered from a 17-something boy in old fashioned britches from a neigbouring boys school. The treacherous girls of St.Thomas will get it hard.

The whole class then is paddled by the school's janitor while the headmistress is standing by. There are eleven girls to be punished so you get to see a lot of stern and concentrated punishment.

After this collective punishment the headmistress states that she is convinced all the girls had have knowledge of this infamous assassination but only two or three of them would be the real culprits. She threatens the girls with an additional much more heavy paddling if they should not reveal those girls who are responsible of that outrageous act. The first paddling had have an sufficient derrent effect so without hesitation they name of their three classmates who had mixed the deadly mixture. Jana, Kristyna and Lenka then are lead away by the headmistress. In the headmistresses office all three had to strip naked and are bound over a caning bench. In front of the remaining staff of St.Thomas School all three girls get 30 hard strokes with a cane. Lenka (Katerina Podbelohorska) starts crying even before the caning begins and the other girls are screaming and begging as well.

Commendation: Script, dialogues, furnishings, camera work, lighting and sound of "A Crime at St.Thomas School" are clearly at a professional standard. Acting capacities of the actors and actresses including the punished girls equal this standard. As so many "Rig-East/Lupus" movies this movie is a class of its own. You see fine paddlings and canings together with wonderful facial reactions. Impertinent girls are punished harshly while teachers are cruel and sadistic.


Critics: Swabbing the killed chemistry teacher's blood from the floor may be seen as a little bit exaggerated. A substantially wounded victim would have been perfectly sufficient for the story. But I do not want to niggle...
Resumée: "A Crime at St.Thomas School" is one of the best spanking and caning movies released within the last ten years. It fits to the highest standards of Rig-East/Lupus Pictures and definitely is not a movie which will be forgotten a few years after its release.
Wishlist: A very long one. I wish I could write some screenplays for RGE/Lupus, I wish I could act as a caner with those temptating spankees, I would work as a director or as a spark for the Czechs...




The Cane for Debbie

“The Cane for Debbie” - Xerotics (Digitally Remastered)

Cast: Debbie, Unknown Caner; Producer/Label: Xerotics
(16:08 minutes)


Location: an improvised film studio faking some sports hall. Protagonists: Debbie, a 18-something "girl next door", and a mid-twenty sports coach character. Debbie could go as a prototype of those "girl/woman next door" actresses you find so often in british spanking movies. Honestly: I like that type. Perfect casting for a spankee.

Debbie wears sweatpants (as the instructor does) and a short top bearing the label "USA". Dialogues are not of real importance. Debbie is to be spanked and caned. We can be shure that some misdemeanors had been committed. The girl has to bend over an outworn gym trestle. Instructor pulls down her sweatpants and knickers.

Then the girl gets handspanked. This lasts for some minutes. Afterwards Debbie reliefs herself at the toilet. As we all know many men like to watch women peeing - for what reasons whatsoever... Then the girl has to bend over the trestle again and gets some more swats. This actress has really a nice body with soft curves and a nice, spankable bottom.
 
Instructor fetches a cane and hands out some 25 very light "strokes" on Debbie's bare buttocks. I rather like to say: some 25 mild pats with the cane. Debbie nevertheless fidgets, struggles and squeaks. The "caning" leaves some very pale marks which surely will have vanished 15 minutes after the "caning" was over.

Commendation: the overall acting of Debbie isn't bad. Nice facial expressions, showing some shame and tentativeness. And a very spankable bottom.
Criticism: The spanking is mild (that's okay - why one should not do a mild spanking from time to time), the "caning" is just ridiculous. Either the actress is no spankee at all and had not agreed into even a light caning - or she must have feeled mocked up.
Resumée: a prototype of boring, senseless "spanking movies".
Wishlist: some true caning for Debbie. Maybe six medium hard strokes for a start. Let's see whether this girl is a true spankee or not.
