Where the Players Go

The players in Seattle know where to go to when they're hot for hard abuse and tough-as-nails treatment - the notorious Cuff Complex. And that's where diabolical director Tony Buff filmed the three aggressive sessions of this Fetish Force feature, Where the Players Go. In two hours of methodical and merciless laying on of pain, eight leather clad and high booted players undergo hair raising rituals of abuse - fetters and flogging, bondage, suspension, caning and the most diabolical double zipper of clothespins ever ripped off raw flesh. That's how Tony Hunter debases Brian Bonds, before Tony Bishop degrades Cylus Kohler with brute lashings. And then Leo Forte ladles abuse over Troy Daniels for a full hour. These hot and hung, dominating tops scorch their subs while making sure it's a hardcore pleasure to be hurt.

Directed by Tony Buff, Where the Players Go leans on a strong ensemble — Brian Bonds, Cy Kohen, Leo Forte — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 2012.
