Beauty's Punishment

Fred J. Lincoln and a talented cast deliver a bondage version of "Sleeping Beauty" in this serious, well-done fetish video. Perhaps too pretentious to be popular with fetishists who like their soft porn cruder & simpler, I found it surpringly effective.

Lincoln gives a solid acting performance telling the tale, portraying the king who is obsessed with breaking the evil spell that holds Beauty in its thrall. Ruby Richards is powerful as the dominating figure whose jealousy of Beauty leads her to torture her with dripping candle wax that puts Asia Carrera to sleep.

But Asia has plenty of orgasms while under the spell, climaxing in nearly the entire cast fondling and whipping her in the show's finale. Among them is Ariana, who comes quite close to hardcore porn as she caresses Asia's pussy, but no penetration occurs.

Other key scenes have Luc Wylder paddling busty Shannon Rush at the king's command, blaming Shannon for not taking care to protect Beauty under her charge. Ruby also has a field day torturing her sex slave Ivy English.

With fine period costumes, atmospheric sets and an appropriate musical score, it stands as a fine production on an day off (away from hardcore assignments) for familiar A-list porn talent.
