Skinopsis

Stockholm Syndrome establishes its place among other low budget horror torture movies like Abduction and Breaking Her Will as a genuinely unsettling and genuinely sleazy look at modern slavery and human trafficking. Filled with gore and despicable people, Stockholm Syndrome throws in two very sadistically sleazy scenes to make pervs like us more than happy.

The story begins with a married couple on a road trip back home after consulting some doctors as to what might be wrong with the baby that the bottle blonde wife is carrying. Almost immediately after settling in to their dingy motel room, they are invaded by a couple of goons who drag off to a warehouse where they'll be branded and psychologically tortured to get ready for transfer to whoever they're bought by.

While they're there, the wife gets forced to abort her fetus, then watch as the doctor chops its head off. Not feeling so great after her bloody, forced abortion, the goons keeping her soon realize that she's not going to last much longer and dispose of her in a fire while her hubby is forced to watch. He's then shipped off to the house of some psycho whose plans for him aren't explained where he's forced to endure more tortuous horrors.

On the sleaze level, two scenes take this movie from "gore movie with a social message" territory to "really sleazy gore movie with a social message" territory. In the first, a cute slave girl (Erica Mooney) is abused by the warehouse manager who forces her to reveal her tits before taking it up a notch - making her piss herself, then lick the urine off of the floor all while still topless. That scene, while extremely disturbing and pretty damn hot, proves to just be the teaser to the scene which will make sadists shudder with arousal. In this gem of a scene, a psychotic priest (who seems to be an unwelcome client of the warehouse) drags a terrified brunette slave (Lena Nazarei) up the "plastic room" where he does some really fucked up shit. After promising to help her get free, he commands her to change into a schoolgirl outfit (her tits come out as she changes) then binds her to a table and molests her. Then he whips out a medieval torture weapon which he uses to bloody up her exposed breasts before raping her under her skirt with it. This scene is certaily a "Holy fucking shit!" kind of moment.

Filled with boobs, blood, bondage and torture, Stockholm Syndrome is sure to stir your cock or turn your stomach... or, in the case of this reviewer, both.
