Rape - The Butcher Bitch is a german rape/revenge film, young Silvia is in a psychiatric institution, the martyrdom of their brutal rape again. Her therapist makes the hidden images of physical violence, the abuse and her helplessness flare up again.When he then goes to Silvia and she has only one thought: Merciless bloody revenge ... The film begins almost instantly with a prolonged graphic and brutal rape as two men violate Sylvia, in the tradition of the roughies of the seventies, which I´m sure will appeal to the forced-sex fetish fans. Later in the film Sylvia uses her body and sexuality to get close to the men who have abused her which of course leads to more explicit sex. The film is technically better made than Manniac but the acting is poor. There is some amateurish gore and the special fx are cheap and badly made
The review is based the DVD released by Morbido Films, it´s part of a limited edition of 666 numbered copies but sadly my copy isn´t numbered. The film is uncut and german language only.
Rating: 1½ out of 7. I was at first a bit doubtful to review this film as it lacks english subtitles and my knowledge of the german language is a limited but in Rape - The Butcher Bitch there isn't much in the way of characters or story. The film would have gained a higher rating from me it they had done some editing (less sex) and added a litte more and hopefully better gore.

Manni is a looser of epic proportions, he´s a peeping tom, he has no girlfriend, his so called friends ridicule and harass him. Soon Manni begins to break into the homes of the women he spies on and killing and raping them and that´s just the beginning as he becomes more and more insane.
Manniac is directed by A. Simona, it has a running time of approx 120 minutes and is filled to the brim with nudity, explicit sex and occasional gory killings. The film looks and feels cheap with bad camera work, bad sound effects, lousy acting and bad editing. Manniac features several lengthy scenes of sex and masturbation but the actresses are unattractive and these scenes (which take up the main part of the films running time) quickly become very boring and tiresome.
The special fx is mostly bad and very amateurishly done but there are one or two exceptions but I won´t spoil the fun if you´re still interested in seeing the film (I hate spoilers).
The review is based on a DVD released by A Simona Film. it´s part of a limited print of 1500 numbered copies and I have number 556. It is uncut and it´s german language only.
Rating: 1 out of 7. I was at first a bit hesitant to review this film as it lacks english subtitles and my knowledge of the german language is a bit limited but Manniac is pretty straightforward. I my opinion Manniac is just boring. I have three suggestions to the director. First if you are going to make a film which features gratious nudity and sex you should make an effort to have a attractive female cast. Second shorten the the seemingly neverending sex scenes and thirdly add more killings, add more and better special fx.

Knastjulen II Zur Sau Gemacht is produced, based on a story by and directed by Andreas Bethmann under his pseudonym A.M Bertucci and released as part of the Bertucci Classics line which is released by his own DVD company X-Rated.
As in the first part the terrible abuse continues in Frauenknastprison. There has not been any improvements. Unfortunately, the situation in the prison has become, if possible, even worse. The guards abuse of the female prisoners has now assumed such proportions that Jennifer Walter, the prison psychiatrist, feels completely powerless in her attempts to try to alleviate the burden. However, a new prisoner, Anna, to the prison. She starts to go into therapy with Jennifer and a strong bond is formed between the two. Jennifer begins to feel strong emotions of his fellow prisoner, but Anna is constantly raped and abused by guards. Jennifer feels in all her helplessness that she must do something. As the previous film Knastjulen 2 - Zur Sau gemacht also contains scenes of explicit sex, lots of nudity and a few scenes of degradation.
As expected the acting is very poor (several actors/actresses from the previous film returns), and as I pointed out in my review of Notgeile Knastjulen Zur Unzucht Erzogen there is a noticeable lack of attractive or sexy actresses. As earlier the pacing is slow and the film quickly becomes repetitive and very boring.
The review is based on the region 2 DVD released by X-Rated, it´s uncut and has english subtitles.Rating: 0 out of 7. Just when you thought it couldn´t get any worse it did... Knastjulen 2 - Zur Sau gemacht is tedious and poor.
