A beautiful review was posted at the Crux Forum and I’d like to share it here and elsewhere:

​BREAKING NEWS!

There is a wonderful new rack torture scene out there. Since it hasn’t gotten any mention in this thread, I take it some of my fellow rack lovers may not know of it. So I will be happy to tell you all about it.

It’s a 14-minute video released a few weeks ago by the Red Feline/VermeerWorks team, led by Jac Avilla. It’s called “Dani Suffers the Rack for Monxa Mala.” It seems to be a rehearsal done in preparation for one of their longer form videos from 2-3 years ago.

This scene is fucking awesome. Seriously! What makes it so awesome? Mostly Dani, the actress.

Her performance, her portrayal of suffering on the rack, is both very convincing and incredibly beautiful. She gets so into her character that she sheds real tears during the torture. Yes, REAL TEARS! I identified with her completely, making my fantasies run wild as they kept me awake half the night.

Plus, Dani is arguably the most classically beautiful actress Jac has had the pleasure working with. She has the face of an angel. And a body that was clearly designed by the gods for two things: pleasure and torture. Dani’s co-stars – her two gorgeous boobs – stand proudly and put on a wonderful performance of their own.

The stretching that is done is quite convincing as well, looking damn painful. Jac whips her a bit, and with a bit more gusto than he is usually known for.

Thankfully, there is no bucket of fake blood all over Dani by the end (something Jac tends to do for some reason), just some beautiful whip marks – this seems to be another improvement, as generally the whip marks in older Red Feline work have never really impressed me.

Honestly, I think this is the hottest rack scene I’ve ever seen. Erotic suffering at its finest.

You can find some promo pics for it in the “News from Margo” thread, although they are spread over several months worth of posts.

You can get the video at their site: https://movies.redfeline.com/

Check it out. I don’t think you’ll regret it. Jackie1111

I might have some issues with a couple of the comments, specially concerning those that mention the buckets of fake blood used on some scenes. But that’s ok. Maybe there are a couple of shots here and there in one or two films where there’s a bit of too much blood for some people’s taste; however most scenes involving whipping in more than 50 films do not have excessive blood, most whipping marks are amazing. Here’s a little example, Dani suffers a tremendous scourging after she’s nailed to a Patibulum, the horizontal crossbeam upon which the condemned person’s arms are extended and either nailed or tied. The whip marks in that scene in CruXtreme II are just as great as in the new release commented here.

It’s worth taking a look!

And in another matter altogether, a comment at the GIMP Forum involving Roger Corman brought up some nice recollections. Part of the comment mentions some of the famous actors and filmmakers that began their careers with Corman.

Actors who obtained their career breaks working for Corman include Jack Nicholson, Peter Fonda, Bruce Dern, Charles Bronson, Todd Field[184] Michael McDonald, Dennis Hopper, Tommy Lee Jones, Talia Shire, Sandra Bullock, Robert De Niro, and David Carradine, who received one of his first starring film roles in the Corman-produced Boxcar Bertha (1972) and went on to star in Death Race 2000 (along with Sylvester Stallone). Many of Corman’s protegés have paid their mentor homage by awarding him cameos in films, such as in The Godfather Part II,[185] The Silence of the Lambs,[186] Apollo 13,[182] and as recently as the Demme film Rachel Getting Married (2008).

I have a nice anecdote about Corman. Jac was friends with Monte Hellman, a director in his own right, who worked with Corman in many of his films. Back in the early 60’s Monte had a friend, a young man who was considering becoming an actor, Jack Nicholson, who once begged Monte to take him to see how films are made.

Monte took Nicholson to the set where Corman was working on a couple of films with Vincent Price. Corman saw Nicholson and thought that maybe he could play a part in a movie. He cast him as a French soldier in a film with Boris Karlof. The title of the film “The Terror“. Nicholson was awful in this, his very first film.

But Corman kept working with Nicholson in some of the motorcycle films he produced.

Monte Hellman asked Nicholson to star in a film he was going to direct, The Shooting, with the then young beautiful model and film star Millie Perkins, famous for The Diary of Anne Frank. All Nicholson had to do for the most part was to be quietly riding a horse looking mean.

The Shooting went to Cannes, Nicholson took a copy under his arm to that festival, representing the film instead of Hellman, its director. Some people were impressed with Nicholson’s acting in that film, one of them was Peter Fonda who was about to produce Easy Ryder. Nicholson got a great role in that film, his acting was amazing and made Hollywood take notice. The rest is history. Monte told the story of how Nicholson got started to Jac at a festival where they met, in France. Millie Perkins was also at that festival, she was one of the Festival Jurors, Jac was another, and I heard that Millie had a crush on Jac. True story.

The La Gazzette Du Festival mentioned Jac’s participation on that festival in these terms:

…filmmakers like Dennis Hooper (Easy Ryder), Monte Hellman (The Shooting) or Jac Avila (Krik? Krak!) are the stars of a festival like Amiens. (…) They use the best of the cinematographic medium and the power of the image thanks to their sincerity and simplicity

Cruxlover24 Nice to know that you will still working while getting the funds you need for those big projects. Here at home we hope to Have Dani in the main role of the next Maleficarum.

Dani will play the leading role in Maleficarum Excruciati, suffering the worst of the worst tortures from the moment she gets arrested to it’s incredibly horrific end. The making of that film depends a lot on how much money we will have in the bank.

The film requires some of the most dreadful instruments of torture from the times of the Inquisition. They have to be designed, constructed, tested a few times to make sure they work well and are safe to be used on such amazing actresses like Dani, who is the one who will have to suffer the pains of sitting up in the Judas Cradle, totally naked and after suffering endless torture at The Rack and the Iron Torture Chair. All those nasty instruments of torture have to be built, including The Rack,

Some of those instruments have to be built in the location itself, like what happened during the making of the first Maleficarum.

Once the location was found and it was all set and approved, Amy, who designed the rack and the other instruments, went ahead and built the rack in the location itself, with the help of Mila, while Jac took pictures.

Once built, the rack was tested on Mila first, and then on Amy, the two who were going to suffer the rigors of the Santo Oficio’s Inquisition.

In both cases the rack worked exceedingly well.

We need funds to produce those two big films, Crucified Four and Maleficarum Excruciati. We’re not fundraising like we did for Seditiosa, Justine, Olalla. We’re basically hoping to sell our movies in good quantities to generate the funds.

So far we have our stores and Vimeo for some rentals. The stores generate enough money to keep us going, but not enough to invest in big films. It’s really nice to see that films like Maleficarum and Justine generate enough funds to keep us working, however the needs for the production of 5 films with big production values and amazing locations and lots of people, need huge amounts of money and we don’t have a generous producer willing to back the films. We’re not Netflix, but… maybe we can be… maybe.

We’re working on at least three new ways of generating money.

The most important is the RFPIX Streaming Channel we’re building. It will cost around 10 bucks per month to join to see all of the films we have, all of them, old and new. If we get 1,000 subscribers, we’re in business. In a couple of months we would have enough funds to make those and other films happen.

The other possible outlet to generate funds is resurrecting The Red Feline Club of old where we had the stories around the movies we were producing, like the story of Red Feline On The Cross.

We also had the Diary of Camille, with great pictures and video clips and more. A lot more, of course. We had a good run, with members paying 10 bucks a month to have access to all of that. It stopped after the crisis that came our way after 9 11, when the restrictions on credit cards became too heavy and we lost for some time the capacity to charge for our films and the membership. Our yearly income that was over 70,000 came crashing down.

We’re working now on setting up The Red Feline Club again, but a lot more sophisticated, with the stories and/or scripts of the many films we have and are planning, exclusive videos of the making of the films, past, present and future, million pictures of the productions, as well as some of the films themselves as the site grows in number. It would be a very exciting place to go to and if we have enough members joining, we would have funds to cover the production of future films.

Another possible source of funding we’re considering and started to set up is clips4sale. Apparently they have over 100,000 people visiting them and they do promote a lot by email and in their site. If we get a tiny percentage of those people to buy our clips on a regular basis, we can have some good funds to cover new productions.

All three of those possible scenarios take a lot of work, tons of thinking, arranging, organizing, setting up. They are complicated in a million ways but if any or all of those possible scenarios work, then we’ll have more than enough funds to produce big time.

We don’t have good experiences with Patreon for different reasons, but the most annoying is that they “hide” some of our posts because of their content, too graphic, in what they consider a ‘porn‘ way. Not because of the nudity, apparently, but for the most graphic pictures or videos we post, like Dani’s intro to Talissa The Warrior in Crucified Four. All the other intros are there, not Talissa’s. Be the judge.

That’s part of the plan.

We’re considering opening the club with a One Year membership of 100 US for those interested in supporting our plans to make Crucified Four and Maleficarum Excruciati. If we get enough people joining, we’ll be able to pay for those and all future productions while those members will get exclusive Making of Movies, clips and films, like the testing of the torture instruments. Imagine the testing of the Judas Cradle of the Iron Torture Chair, as well as exclusive interviews with the actresses before and after they suffer those torments, as well as all the material like The Diaries, The Stories, The Training Camp stories and so much more, including many of our films, like all of the Via Crucis of Camile movies.

In the meantime we still have the New Season Sale of 15% Off if you get two or more of our films. It’s a good time to get two or more of our amazing films, including the one people are commenting about theses days.

That’s it for now.
