pinku porno star A young guy named Brandon with the appearance of an immature American psychopath, permanently in a state of deep depression and sexual dissatisfaction, kidnaps an underage girl Stacey. Under the watchful eye of numerous video cameras installed throughout Brandon’s home, he begins a long and painful sadistic torture of his defenseless and trusting victim.
In the horror subgenres of pseudo-documentary cinema and the so-called torture porn, it is already extremely difficult and even impossible to invent something new and truly extraordinary. Both directors and screenwriters working in modern horror, and the audience, forced to look for rare diamonds in the mountains of guano, are saturated and overfed. “The Blair Witch” is a song that has long been sung and has already managed to get tired of it, and the pictures, the plot of which is built exclusively on brutal bloody violence, after the appearance of the grandiose “Hostels” and “Serbian Film” on the screens, the most glorious torture porn with each new film in this subgenre is increasingly regressing and degrading, finally destroying the list of various taboos that has already become crumb. There is, however, an underground trend of pseudo-snuff, but the cinematographic value of such dubious paintings, exploiting and imitating real snuff, is at a level below the cheapest and vulgar pornography, although the pseudo-snuff-movie, begun in the mid-80s of the twentieth century by the ever-memorable Japanese “Experimental Pig”, causes a lot of certain questions about the mental state of society, after all, just juiciously masturbate on naked silicone aunts and masturbate on them, only in a hard-killed form before death.
In 2006, a little-known American director and screenwriter Shane Ryan, belonging to the category of amateurs, under the impression of a creepy real story about a maniac sadist who brutally killed three underage girls on the border with Mexico and filmed all his sadistic exercises on video, besides struggling with unbearable depression, decided to make his first full-length film, which received the pretentious and shocking title “Amateur porn star killer”. Having invested in the production of paintings only an unhappy $ 45 and enlisting the support of his creative colleague and part-time screenwriter and starring performer - the innocent victim of our dear Chikatilo - Michiko Jimenez, Shane Ryan shot his aggressive transgressive picture rarely, but very accurately, entering into a kind of cinematic polemic with the "Underground" Fred Vogel, only without the presence in his picture of scenes of naturalistic-nauseous vivisections and lustful necrophilia, but with excessive zeal focused on scenes of sexual perverse violence, filmed with pathological and painful realism. In some places, the film frankly flirts with the Japanese cinema mythology of pink cinema, because there are scenes in the spirit of BDSM, with mandatory bindings, a rubber gag in the mouth and so on, although the gravitation to the game snuff outweighs everything else closer to the finale, which will be expectedly predictable.
For viewers hungry for tin, Shane Ryan has prepared explicit hardcore in its most shameless form. In the film, which lasts a little more than an hour, after a relatively laconic introduction and acquaintance with the main character, about whom the slogan of the film says truthfully that he looked like a very cute boy (almost all sadistic maniacs are such), the true reign of ultraviolence and perversion over the helpless minor victim begins. And the sophisticated imagination of Shane Ryan do not occupy: the victim has both front and back, and anally, orally, and vaginally, as well as using the diverse arsenal of an avid BDSM player. But the most eerie touch to this film, which in the States received the most severe age category X, is that it shows pedophilia without embarrassment in such a way that “Serbian Film” just nervously smokes its last joint in the side.
And filmed “Killer porn star-amateur” with taste and arrangement, with full respect for style and atmosphere. Released 4 years later, Adam Reimier’s Rabbit Games, despite its obvious wordplay and reference to Haneke’s Funny Games (Funny games = Bunny games), and also created as an author’s antidepressant, clearly their inventive visual style was inspired by Shane Ryan’s painting, which is shocking, disgusting and, like everything forbidden, attracts and intrigues.
Shot and played pathologically realistic (by the way, characteristically, in the main role of the maniac Brandon, the viewer has the opportunity to see the director himself), this film is difficult to assess from the point of view of the cinema - whether it is good or bad - due to its ambiguous morality. But as a single experiment, as a challenge and an attempt to stir up society, the picture has definitely succeeded. Became even a cult in certain audience circles, the picture of director Shane Ryan is a strong blow to the psyche, shocking not even senseless sadism, but the very fact that this happens daily, hourly and every minute.
