“Whipping Out A Story”
By Raymond Benson
Kino Lorber and Something Weird Video continue their collaboration to present “Forbidden Fruit: The Golden Age of the Exploitation Picture” with Volume 9—The Lash of the Penitentes. Like the other exploitation titles that have appeared over the last two years, Lash is another piece of American celluloid that will surely elicit jaw-dropping, eye-rolling, and headshaking.

Child Bride, directed by Harry Revier, is a production of the legendary exploitation film producer Kroger Babb from 1938.
This “gripping tale of shackled youth” is in the grand exploitation tradition of claiming to be educational and “thought-provoking,” but is really just a lurid journey into degradation, sleaze, violence and partial nudity. Here’s the wild and hilarious description of the film from Light Industry:
Let us show you an era when lust was called just, when any blossoming prepubescent could be seized by throngs of men thrice her age (or more!) for a life without education or opportunity.
