House of Whipcord Reviews
Punished for their Transgressions
This film seems to have reached cult status in some circles. A Young woman is lured to a mysterious rundown estate and undergoes an ordeal of physical and mental suffering for her worldly ways. Hidden from the outside world, females are stripped naked and punished under the lash for their transgressions. That is only the beginning of their nightmare existence of imprisonment where the viewer witnesses punishments doled out by a mock jury of eccentric characters. This film is an interesting entry into the mystery-horror genre but its true intentions remain elusive.
Exploitation movie with a touch of class.
Anne Marie De Vernay, a young French model fined £10 for appearing naked in a park, is lured to a private 'house of correction' run by a disgraced prisoner governess and her ageing husband, Justice Bailey. There she finds that other women who have offended the 'proper moral code' are being imprisoned and executed.
Despite the lurid title and some extraneous nudity, this film benefits from excellent acting all round, especially by Sheila Keith and Barbara Markham, and has an edge lacking in its Hammer contemporaries. If one can ignore the exploitation element to this film (and these days it seems fairly tame anyway) this is a surprisingly good movie - of its type.
