Hello,

I was on the Alpha Blue Archives site and was intrigued by two titles, "DOMINATRIX WITHOUT MERCY" and "NIGHT OF SUBMISSION".

DOMINATRIX WITHOUT MERCY
1976. 64min. Dir: Shaun Costello. Cast: Marlene Willoughby, Terri Hall, Jamie Gillis, Vanessa Del Rio, Grover Griffith Wall to wall hard action from the notorious Avon team! Marlene Willoughby goes to work in a busy Manhattan dominance apartment. Overlapping vignettes cater to true S&M enthusiasts. Masochistic superstar Terri Hall changes caps as a dominant. Jamie Gillis is a rope freak kept in a closet. Vanessa Del Rio gives the submissive performance of a lifetime; you’ll be amazed she went through it. With golden showers!

NIGHT OF SUBMISSION
1976. 60m. Director: Joe Davian. Cast: Annie Sprinkle. Vanessa Del Rio. C.J. Laing. NYC voodoo cult practice ritualistic S/M! Rough sex auteur Davian delivers a straight faced black magic story. New York reporters investigate the bizarre sex rituals of an underground voodoo cult. Wall to wall graphic orgies, up close whip wounds, and crucifixion!

After watching Metzger/Paris' "The Image" and enjoying that I thought these might be good, but perhaps they are TOO underground cultish. The fact that they came out of NYC in the "Son of Sam" era made me think of a book I read once, Maury Terry's "The Ultimate Evil". That book had me paranoid for months, and these two titles really seem to capture the same "darkness". I like the casts in both features. Any thoughts?!?

Fidelio,
NN

PS: Moderators, I thought about linking, but then realized I might be accused of trolling for advertising, so I just cut and pasted. Which is preferred?

Nick, I've not seen Night of Submission, but I have seen Dominatrix Without Mercy and it was certainly a very low budget porn movie. It's not the best example of quality 70's porn, but that being said, if you are into more offbeat stuff, it is entertaining. I thought it stayed interesting the entire running time, which is a good sign. If you're a fan of the top NYC porn actors of the mid 1970's you'll find a lot of them in this movie, Jamie Gillis, C.J. Laing, Vanessa Del Rio, Marc Stevens, Roger Caine, Fred Lincoln, Marlene Willoughby. Hard to say if this movie would appeal to a large audience, because it doesn't have a very strong plotline, essentially it's a day in the workings of a House of Domination, that's it as far as story. So if you like a strong storyline, you might not find this movie to you're liking, but other than that if you like gritty slimy NYC 70's porn it's good.

Dominatrix Without Mercy I believe is one of Shaun Costello's old Avon films as is Night of Submission (except directed by Joe Davian instead of Costello). I haven't seen either of these titles but I do have two of the three Avon Box sets put out by Alpha Blue Archives (Shaun Costello and 1980's - which is mostly Phil Prince's work). The films on those sets are rather dark, possibly darker than what you are looking for. If it helps you at all, Alpha Blue has an article on the Avon Theaters which might help you make up your mind.

As for the question on the linking, it would have been fine in this case to paste in the links. I wouldn't consider you advertising for Alpha Blue since your last post in this forum was looking for the TVX version of a release that Alpha Blue has also released.

I also forgot to mention that the Alpha Blue Archives releases don't always have the best picture quality, which is something to consider when buying their discs. From my experience I think they do the best they can with what is available for the films they release but if you are expecting VCA style quality you'll be disappointed.
