In case someone actually might buy this . . .
zorro62043 January 2006
I'll just repeat my Amazon review to save you a few dollars.

Okay, for starters if you're a fan of sexploitation sleaze, you just about have to buy a film named like this, don't you? I mean, you know there are going to be some problems just from the box cover, a drawing (from a website advertised in the flick) of a naked young girl in a middle-east like scene carrying a cross with whipmarks on her bum. Uh, okay, but that can't possibly have anything to do with the film, eh? Another problem might be that it supposedly won the "Tales of Woe" film festival, which so far as I can find doesn't exist.

Well, nevermind, like I said, someone has to buy this and review it solely due to the title, even though there's a strong possibility that it could be some student art flick with the title pasted on later . . . which of course it is. In fact the disk doesn't even bother to disguise the fact that the real name of this wreck is "Into Thy Hands". Apparently they couldn't even bother to edit the video to match the box. After some more drawings, with more in the so-called "bonus feature", the embarrassment begins, which is basically an ultra short and ultra cheap semi-slasher flick with no pay offs. The continuity is laughable, like when the bearded killer wastes 30 seconds getting a rope unsnarled while the camera runs.

There is some nudity and some sleaze scenes that might have been half decent if they weren't filmed in slow motion with no sound. Oh, did I forget? There's a sludgy background music track but no actual sound recording at all. R-rated bondage gets practically no respect at all these days, what with it plastered all over usenet and the web, so that nets this mess the minimum one star. For joke collectors only.

Wow - This Is Probably THE MOST Misleading "Film" I've Ever Seen...
EVOL66626 December 2006
Warning: Spoilers
Do not buy this film. Don't even watch this film unless you want to be bored to death. And most importantly - DO NOT LET THE TITLE FOOL YOU!!! This "film" has absolutely nothing to do with Jesus raping anyone, so all you exploit fans that got boners after hearin' the title of this one might as well just tuck your dicks back in your pants. Here's what Jesus Christ: SERIAL RAPIST is REALLY like:

Some jackass (that I think is the director of this mess) has a soft-core "rape" scene, where the "victim" involved looks so utterly bored that it looks like she would have been more disturbed by watching paint dry. Some text pops up every now and then explaining the "plot" (which has nothing to do at all with anything portrayed in the film..) about a "schizo" who thinks he's Jesus and decides to videotape naked women for no apparent reason and send the tape to the cops...right. Then we're treated to a bunch of soft-core nudie stills - for like forty-five minutes - and all of this is set to some extremely dull and drony goth-metal soundtrack. There is no dialogue, no "acting", no nothing...

The ONLY reason this "film" doesn't get an absolute ZERO rating from me, is because I'm feeling generous and giving it one point because there is a good bit of full-frontal nudity from some hot women (though it's all in the still-shots), and another point because in some of the stills there is some well-executed shibari-bondage pictures - and I'm a sucker for Japanese rope bondage. But BELIEVE ME - YOU will be the real sucker if you actually buy this crap. Mr. Zebub is now 2-for-2 in the let-down department after suffering through his almost equally disappointing RAPE IS A CIRCLE - the only good side to that one is that it at least had some semblance of a plot, but was still dull and un-shocking. It seems that the only thing Zebub is good at is masking garbage films with interesting titles. I suggest you look up the titles of his films, imagine your own plot, and I guarantee that whatever you thought of will be better than anything shown in his work. Do yourself the best favor you've done in your life - SKIP THIS!!!...2/10

first of two movies with this title by this director; this one is quite cheap & poor
Zwischenrassisch26 November 2006
First off, there's at least two different movies by the same director with this title. This listing, the 2004 one, had a gaudy orange and black cover with a woman wearing white lingerie with her arms outstretched and a red ball gag, and some small stills from the movie.

The remake (or whatever one might call it) is the one available on Amazon.com (!) with a nice painting of a woman bearing a cross on her back through a middle-eastern-looking setting.

The first movie has about three scenes of a man having sex with or BDSM activities with women. One was on a sofa, another in a bathroom I think, and another I don't remember. Title cards explain he's a schizophrenic who thinks he's Jesus persecuting his enemies, or something like that. You wouldn't have guessed from the movie itself.

Then a title card explains that he sent something to the media, which is followed by stills of women crucified, which takes up a lot more running time of the movie than you'd think.

This movie really can't be recommended, but the remake might (?) be better.

Nobody could find this interesting.

Warning: Spoilers
Like a very few others the title sucked me in to waste almost 100 minutes of my life watching crap. The first 42 minutes are some awful home movie like shots of women supposedly tied up. The few brief glimpses of their hands appear to show no ropes or at best some thin string. Certainly nothing that would indicate the "victim" could not escape. The remainder of the film is just video of still photos being scanned. There is no rhyme or reason to the photos shown or the video. No words are spoken throughout the movie and what little acting there is is horrible. Women looking very bored standing or lying around. If there is ever an award for looking bored then these "actresses" have a good chance to win.

Do yourself a favour and stay as far away from this junk as you can. There is nothing of interest to justify the time wasted, unless you really want to write a negative review.

CHARITABLY = merely INEPT 'PRIVATE' BONDAGE FETISH MUSIC VIDEO - BUT with amazing awful animated shocker add-on!
Bofsensai6 April 2021
Warning: Spoilers
Or rather, really: NO STARS = ZERO, ZILCH, NADA, get it = NONE AT ALL!

(Except the animated post credits sequence = then : 10!)

It's Easter and from the come on pic on this box (that shown on this site is actually the back cover), of a naked woman (faint whip signs on her naked rear) carrying a cross, you might wonder is this a salutary tale for the occasion? * (=see important 'add on end bit'!)

The answer found in having had the misfortune to view this, is a resolute, absolute - and if in doubt(ing Thomas style ..) - a consummate and certain NO!

Get that?

Nevertheless, for the time of year, if to be charitable, I suppose it could be admired that such film- making ineptitude as on display here, could still get listed on this resource site (at least) as a - supposedly! - 'legitimate' film.

Otherwise along with the NO stars (nada, zilch, NONE at all) this review is only being shared so that I can personally glean just a smidgeon of some in the remotest purpose to have spent the time tolerating what is, in effect, presumably the penchant of director, producer, (tea maker?) and 'star' Be Zebub (geddit?) as a demented (sorry, "schizophrenic reincarnation of") 'Jesus' in, his own made merely a non-stop 70 minute* mild - very mild (= inept!) - bondage, crucifixion fetish doom / black metal like music video.

(There is no dialogue whatsoever; just an interlude of a old Mac pc chat typing**)

True there is a central interlude, in which a bevy of girls - two of whom are surely such ringers they could pass as stand-ins for Uma Thurman and Patricia Arquette(!) - strung buck naked (fetishist note, yep, depiled below for no doubt penance's sake) up, but - full consent inferred, 'gentle' viewers - freely enough so as to lasciviously writhe in crucified poses on woodlands located crucifixes .. (whatever floats ya boat, as long as full consent involved, no, ah, 'judgment' here): But, ah, I won't plot spoil-sport for how this enters the unfolding tale, just in case you really do ignore all imploring advice here to resolutely avoid - so's you'll then still have something to, ah, savour - (or is that, saviour? Sorry.)

So that in effect the wraparound, er, 'story' merely involves various - and admittedly, lovely - lasses getting bound up by star, director (tea maker?) Be zebub in what, at its most charitable best can be described as - only - barely inept.

I can well imagine the come on to them as being something like "Hi, I'm a film director; wanna be in films?" In this respect, since otherwise it's difficult to be able to extract anything of note from this ineptitude, to leaven the tedium it's worth noting that one of these 'actresses' (it's unclear from the character listings, exactly whom was supposed to be whom, but who could be Sandra Dee - and 'starrring' as 'Peter's wife, apparently!) at least raised a smile throughout this unrelenting below amateurish tedium, when after she is 'raped' (per eponymous main character's movie titled penchant - geddit?) plus assaulted - (thumped! Well, inferred, as shot ended just before impact) - we're next shown her now latterly standing in a shower stall, where he now stiff finger gropes her, not himself, but with a disembodied arm! Which is horrendous, innit? But then we get a close up shot of her gagged face, focus on her (beautiful dark) eyes, in by which you would expect her to be emoting abject terror: instead you got an almost eye rolling*** look to camera as though to (dumbly - she's ballgagged: besides there is no dialogue ..!) impart, "Sheesh, the things we ladies have to tolerate for a weirdo guy to get his rocks off, huh?" (BTW: noting severed limb, reminds to also look out for one crucifixion effect of which you just must, well, 'hand' it to him for its .. er, well, ineptness!)

Another shout out kudos should also be offered to 'final girl' victim (unfortunately, unknown: in darkness all the time) who, bearing in mind the utter less than amateur ineptness on display here, still trusted director, producer, star (etc.!) Be zebub with the pyrotechnics set around her: for that alone dedication to your need to be 'in films' -whatever - is admirable!

Which means, lo - and behold - an ending does cometh, in which one could - charitably - discern that actor, scriptwriter, director**** - was challenging us viewers not only in our tolerance of trash trumped up as a legitimate 'film', but possibly, just possibly, with an in depth (of water) analogy for the unreliability of tales of (false) Messiahs e.g. With their walking on water exploits .. ... perhaps .. just possibly .. (Well, gotta be some reason why I watched this all the way through?!)

Otherwise, in short, may I fairly warn: freaking abysmal!

* Ah, BUT WAIT; hey, don't go!

Hold on there, don't go, don't leave just yet! For despite the timer indicates the film runs c.90 mins - it doesn't: for as the credits close, we're suddenly straight into, now, what would seem like the proper follow on to those quite, um, 'tempting' come on opening credits we first got shown .. i.e. Now a five minute animation like still drawings sequence of Roman times crucifixion procedure, of a - (shock!) - woman: NOW! What THIS showed - in just stills, too - was astoundingly awful in the true sense: reprehensible, horrific and misogynist to the Nth degree, so much so that it reminded me of one the most awful comic strips I have ever read of Hart D. Fisher of the nineties 'Verotik' comic book (First issue, 'A Taste of Cherry'?) Now, watch this at your peril! (and ensure you have a copy of Monty Python's ' Life of Brian' for the final scene to leaven the horror!)

BTW: this counted in the menu as a 'features' extra: of which, by the way if trying to get your full money's worth out of this out and out utter 'cinematic' con bilge, also has another extra 'feature' consisting of an eight minute segment of three buxom gagged - (of course) - lasses writhing - not on crosses, now, but - on a bed, hands behind their backs, presumably / inferred, bound. Now again, um, charitably, I'm gonna go out on a limb (pun?) and guess that this is some sort of performance rehearsal outtake .. perhaps ..

** a mysterious, NOT naked, nor bound up, nor crucified, but bespectacled blonde online chats with 'The Light' (geddit?) about the reliability of the Jesus story ...

*** á la her in the '50 Shades of Grey' that got Mr. Grey excited into his particular penchant: recall?

**** candle wrangler, too? As no credit given but deserves huge recognition, for constant and consistent lighting - since otherwise throughout, is atrocious!

So there ya go .. well, wow: whaddya know: all that from what can only be assessed as - cinematically - an out and out garbage con!

Of course, if you like inept bondage to tedious doom laden shouty gruff vocalisations (five bands credited at the end), dicing with marginal blasphemy, this could be right up your deserted houses street. (as seemed to be used here: there IS a separate 'locations' credit given.)
