Perhaps there is not too much unique about this plot, but we do enjoy it. When a slut is the protagonist, the opportunity for metaphor and social commentary is just too easy. Then we have a pervert-psycho...and we kind of...get him. Dare we say that the slut deserves the plight she is about to face? On this blog we can have frank discussions. In any event, our slut is quite the dish and we are sympathetic to her plight, merely because of that. Our feature today is 2004's "Lovesick: Sick Love (aka "The Chambermaid")," directed by Wolfgang Buld.
Julia (Fiona Horsey) is a babe with a worthless, rocker BF, Istvan (William Rowsey). Istvan snorts all their income and now the mob is trying to collect from him. Stupid Julia stands by him, because she is a nympho-groupie. Now its up to Julia to earn enough money to pay the mob. By accident she realizes men will pay her for hand jobs and sex. I'm sure this idea would never have occurred to her, otherwise. She earns a lot from this but instead of paying off the mob, Istvan snorts it. Enter the pervert/creep hotel manager, Michael (Paul Conway). He employs Julia as a chambermaid and loves taking peeps at her changing into her uniform. Paul is the caretaker of his cantankerous invalid mom (Jessica Barnes). He also does online porn, a lot. When Julia is evicted she plays Michael well and now is invited to stay with him.
Michael is not the only bad guy. After he passes out at a bar, Julia brings him home and claims to have de-virginized him. Michael is thrilled and is convinced Julia is destined to be the mother of his children. Julia is merely taking advantage of him. When Michael finds out the truth...well, Julia will be in major league danger. What follows for Julia is captivity, being drugged, being violated, bondage, chains, murder, a dank basement, and a pervert getting more and more unstable by the minute.
Will Julia break out of her chains, find her clothes, and turn the tables on Michael? Does Michael plan on keeping her chained up until she delivers a child to him? Is this film a thinly veiled metaphor for how our civilization looks at women, or a morality lesson for loose skanks? Either way, Ms. Horsey is terrific and captivating, and Mr. Conway is creepy to the max in his portrayal. See "Lovesick: Sick Love" and learn a lesson or two.
