Today we have the magnum opus of Deborah Dutch! Many of you know the name. Those of you who don't...well, trust me...she is talented and apparently big in South Korea...as is Anthony Zerbe. BDSM out the Ying Yang! You will get your film dose of it with this film thanks to an all-in performance by Ms. Dutch. Sick of watching bore-athons like "Shadowlands" and "Barry Lyndon"? You owe it to yourself to view this anthem from the BDSM world of deviance and carnal bacchanalia. Our feature today is 1993's "Death Dancers," directed by Jason Holt.
Shannon (Dutch) gets pregnant and her BDSM husband is not pleased. He beats the snot out of her causing a miscarriage. What does she do? Watch the film. A serial killer is murdering men who attend BDSM nightclubs. Not nearly as deviant as the peeps on The Epstein List. Shannon is the #1 BDSM peep and charges top dollar to humiliate you, tie you up, make you beg, whip you, and lick her feet. Sure, she is a metaphor for our celebrity class and political elite today. Her girls also demand top-dollar and perform at the aforementioned nightclub. The most interesting of her girls is Itsani (Sunset Thomas), who will befriend the undercover cop Will (Mitchell Scott). Will wants to meet Shannon probably because he thinks she is the serial killer. He has cuffs ready for her, but we are not sure if they are for the arrest or...well, never mind.
Will also has a backstory. His GF died 10 years ago and he sort of went bonkers when that happened. Now he is deep into the BDSM world and infatuated by his latest suspect, the mysterious Shannon. Flashbacks are prurient and do fill out the plot and explain what is really going on. Where does this all lead? This film starts out incredibly deviant, ramps it up several degrees, and then presents a final reveal that is so prurient and deviant that you will need a shower to wash the memory of it off. Nudity, whipping, humiliation, threesomes, foursomes, fivesomes, and the taboo will cascade into the plot even if you are not asking for it.
Is Shannon the killer? Is Will really interested in catching the killer? Are the two tragic backstories at all connected? Not for everyone, but Ms. Dutch is 100% into her performance and carries the film. If you need some prurient movie viewing to let you know that you are not as deviant as you thought...or to give you some ideas that you probably should not come up with, see "Death Dancers."
