Freaktana A Major Disappointment

Borgarkeri A bit overrated, but still an amazing film

Tayyab Torres Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

EVOL666 In terms of "classic" exploitation cinema, and specifically in regards to the pinku and nunsploit genres - WET AND ROPE is not the "best of the best" (a spot that I still hold for SCHOOL OF THE HOLY BEAST) - but this film does try pretty damn hard. A ridiculously fun and bizarre entry in a fun and bizarre genre - WET AND ROPE is definitely one of the more entertaining pinku (or any genre for that matter) films I've seen in a while.A young woman is raped in front of her husband by a group of thugs on her wedding night. Her husband kicks her to the curb, stating that his "honor has been ruined" (a trend I see often amongst rape-victims in these films...), so the new wife decides to commit suicide. She is stopped right before plunging off a cliff to her demise by a seemingly kind priest who says she can join his nunnery and God will heal all. Of course, once inside, the nunnery is filled with lesbionic, hot-dog-bun-f!cking nymphos who want nothing more than to screw guys and go to the "Diskotek" in full nun regalia (?!?!). Add in some strange side characters and plots, including a toilet bowl licking, Igor-like "assistant", an overly horny priest and abbess, a man on the run from a robbery, some clueless cops, and the absolute best part - the festival of St. Animal (???) where well-paying businessman come to dress up in Negro masks and screw all the nuns, while one lucky "winner" gets to bone one DRESSED AS A SHEEP (???!!!????!!!!). For real - I couldn't make this sh!t up if I tried...I honestly find it hard to believe that the Japanese could cram so much material into 65 (or so) minute films. It's another reason I love the pinku genre so much - lots of craziness condensed into a manageable time-frame, so you rarely have a chance to be bored. Finer points like character development and continuity may end up lost in the shuffle - but who watches exploit films for that stuff anyway? WET AND ROPE isn't the best pinku or nunsploit film out there, but it is an infectiously fun entry for fans of either genre, or for anyone looking for something deliriously different...8/10

Falconeer I have to give Koyu Ohara's 'Wet Rope Confession' a high rating because among other things, it is an utterly unique and fascinating viewing experience. Here is one of the oddest 'pink' films of all time, concerning a beautiful young woman who joins a bizarre convent after being raped on her wedding night, by a gang of thugs. Loaded with surreal imagery and filmed with great style, director Koyu O'Hara utilizes garish colors especially well, and some scenes are truly gorgeous. Other scenes are quite indescribable, such as when the young woman Miki, and a fellow nun enter a disco in the middle of the afternoon and are picked up by some shady looking characters. Some scoff at the bizarre imagery here, but I believe everything has it's meaning. Symbolism is in fact the dominating factor in this one. The ending is especially bizarre, but somehow extremely sweet and romantic at the same time, as actress Yuki Nohira possesses a rare quality of appearing very sexual and also totally naive and innocent at the same time. The acting, as in most of the Japan 'pink' films of this time, is extremely good. The film-makers touch on a very obscure but potent erotic nerve by showing nuns in sexual situations, while appearing to enjoy the experience while simultaneously being disturbed by what they are doing. Fans of cult cinema should have a very special appreciation for these films, for before the advent of DVD productions like 'Wet Rope' were absolutely unheard of outside of their native land. The 1970's were truly a great time for underground cinema, and 'Wet Rope Confession' is a nice example of what that decade had to offer. See this mysterious and beautiful film!

The_Void Nunsploitation would seem to be more of a European thing, but the Japanese decided to have a go too, and Wet and Rope is one of the results. Asian cinema is often remarked upon for its bizarreness, and after having seen this film; I've got to say that isn't surprising...in the least! Quite what the hell the point of this film is, is anyone's guess, as all the sleazy elements on display don't mean a thing to one another, thus making the film merely a collection of oddities, united one very thin plot line. The story (if you can even call it that) follows a young woman who tries to commit suicide after being thrown out by her husband. After being saved by a priest, she is recruited into his convent...where all the nuns are more pervy than your average whore! The film features a lot of sex, some of it featuring things like masks, bread rolls and (wait for it) sheep costumes! I actually can't believe there was a time when I found lesbian sex out of the ordinary...it's the norm in films like these! It really is hard to take this film seriously, but it's not a complete dead loss as watching the events unfold is often very funny, and fans of wayward cinema are likely to get a kick out of it. Overall, I can't say that this is a favourite of mine...but it's just about worth seeing.

HumanoidOfFlesh After being brutally raped,Mikki attempts to commit suicide.A friendly priest talks her out of it and she decides to become a nun.Once inside the convent,she becomes again a victim of sexual abuse."Wet and Rope" by Koyu Ohara is a truly fantastic piece of sleaze.It's not as beautiful and visually stunning as Norifumi Suzuki's exploitation classic "School of the Holy Beast",but certainly offers everything a nunsploitation fan could want-beautiful and often nude women,a perverse priest,a nunnery full of lesbians and wickedly deviant finale.The acting is pretty good and the main actress Yuki Nokihara has a great body and beautiful eyes.A must-see for fans of nunsploitation sub-genre or exploitation cinema in general.8 out of 10.Highly recommended.
