· Greg Joseph
Valora
decides to jump into Internet Dating with both feet. She arranges for
a meeting with a Ridley, a stranger from an online 'Match' site. It doesn't
take long for her to become a victim to this abusive macho psychopath.
She soon finds herself bound, gagged and tortured in his rustic cabin.
But Ridley doesn't realize this young woman has been trained and she's
not the easy victim he thinks she is. So rather than attempting an escape,
Valora endures the torment as she waits for her chance to turn the tables
on him.
Internationally,
this movie was released as a sequel to the very sleazy hit NAKED
FEAR. The landscape is the same [the desolate Western wilderness]
but it is decidedly more character driven, with the victim being far from
helpless or nondescript. This kind of film either lives or dies depending
on the performances of the leading actors. James Ray does what is expected
of him. He is a towering figure, hopelessly driven by a deep-rooted misogynistic
mania. But - ultimately - he's a one dimensional character. Other the
other hand, Kathleen Benner manages to expand on her perilous predicament.
She brings much experience to the part. Ms Benner also played the tortured
prey two other times in 2009, for SPORTKILL
and FLESH,
TX. These roles allow her to manifest a certain empathy often
missing in this horror genre.
