Wet & Rope

Japan Shock burgeon their way into the Nunsploitation field with the release of Koyu Ohara's 'Wet & Rope'. The film follows the misadventures of a young nurse whom on her wedding night is raped by a couple of crooks that break into her marital suite. Selfishly angered by the crime, her new husband kicks her out of his life. The despairing young girl attempts to take her life by jumping from a cliff , only to be saved by a passing priest who convinces her to join a local nunnery where the lord will seemingly give her a new life. But, in true nunsploitation manner, all is not what it seems...

Sacriligeous perversion in the extreme in this entertaining slice of nunnery pokery. It's all here - masturbation, whipping and disco dancing in this often hilarious and absurd genre movie where nuns seem to have more fun than us poor folk out in the real world. Guaranteed to annoy the religious community no end with amongst other things - nuns tied to the crucifix and begging to be whipped, a new take on 'sheep shagging' with local businessmen bidding to sire a nun dressed up as a sacrificial lamb while the rest of the convent indulge in an orgy, the list goes on.

Obviously inspired by the nunsploitation films of old, 'Wet & Rope' carries it off in convincing style with a nice euro feel in Ohara's italian style direction complete with matching (though minimal) keyboard soundtrack. Not really being a big fan of this particular genre I was pleasantly surprised (as well as highly amused) at how enjoyable 'Wet & Rope' really is.

The disc contains a nice widescreen print with a dolby 2.0 soundtrack. There are optional English and German subtitles that, although not translated perfectly, do the job well enough. There's also the usual selection of Japan Shock trailers that make great eye candy (I must check out Girl Hunter and the EDT discs!) But for bonus chuckles just check out the excellent chapter titles for the film which include 'Masturbating Women', 'Whip Punishment', 'Twisting Nipple' and 'Dancing Nuns' amongst others - it truly is a case of 'say what you see' !!

So, a must have for any fans of the nunsploitation genre and an excellent way for newcomers to test the water in this particular scene (and if anything, you'll have a great laugh checking out some of the more absurd moments along the way!) Another fine release from Japan Shock - lets hope they keep them coming!
