Villa Captive (2011)
Director: Emmanuel Silvestre
Where to get it: One Eye’d Films
A young actress seeking a life away from adult movies moves to Florida in search of a new identity. Her newfound peace is shattered when local thugs recognize her. A tribute to hard edged rape revenge films like ‘ I Spit on your Grave’ ‘Villa Captive’ is the first non porno film for Director and actress.
This film is market as a film in the same nature as the classic “I Spit On Your Grave”. And it does indeed have a lot of the same elements to it that film had. Right on down to the “slow” character that hangs out with the evil men in the movie that have no good intentions when it comes our leading lady what so ever. And in this case our leading lady is porn star who has decided it’s time to give up that career in hopes of a new career. Making the movie even more interesting is the fact that our leading lady, Liza Del Sierra, is in fact an adult actress. But rest a sure our leading lady here can act and she does a very nice job on the screen. The movie is one that will be right down the ally for anyone who digs “rape and revenge” films, even if we have to wait a bit for our revenge portion of the film.
The last portion of the film is where our level goes up to 11 and things really start to get interesting. As the old saying goes, that’s when the “poop” hits the fan. And when this happens you are more than ready for it to happen and you are ready to see everyone gets what they have coming. And I believe the results are more or less rewarding. Overall, the film is a nice modern take on the older films that use the same subject matters. I believe it was a great idea casting Liza Del Sierra as well. I think she could have a very nice career in none adult movies, if she so wishes to jump on that route of film making. You could be picky and say the film holds off a little long before the revenge starts, but besides that, I do believe what we get here is perfectly acceptable film making.
