Decent WIP-Style Pinku Entry..., 5 January 2007

*** This comment may contain spoilers ***

DECAPITATION ISLAND is a pretty solid pinku entry that is a bit reminiscent of the more famous FEMALE SCORPION/FEMALE CONVICT SCORPION films, though not as in-depth or quite as memorable. lacking a bit in the sleaze department, this one isn't at the top of my favorites list as far as pinku films are concerned, but the storyline is pretty strong which makes up some points in my book...

Exiled women are kept on an island that is overseen by a group of guards who pretty much leave the women alone as long as they don't start actin' up. If they do, they may be treated to some steam-room or hot-oil torture. Of course there are also ranks within the female prisoner populace, and hard-ass new-arrivals cause some dissension amongst the "leaders". Eventually the new girls earn some respect but matters are complicated further by the arrival of a new guard - the disgraced son of an Official who was deemed incapable of performing his regular duties, and also by the out-break of the Plague that threatens to decimate the islands small population - resulting in feverish back-stabbing and escape attempts...

A well-written storyline carries DECAPITATION ISLAND for the most part, as the typical rape-and-sleaze oriented material so common to most pinku films is relatively non-existent in this film. I tend to prefer the "rougher" entries in the genre, but this one was entertaining enough to keep my interest without being an all-out trash-fest. Worth checking out for die-hard pinku fans, but those that only dig the more twisted entries will probably be disappointed...7/10
