... and it's not satire about the "old people who want a return of corporal and capital punishment", but about the supposedly-liberated society which made it.
The protagonist Anne-Marie Devernay, is accosted by a creep (Mark or something), at a party who proceeds to tell her how much he's like to flail her and cut her face... sounds so sexy no?
Absolutely no red flags ?
Then the said creep proceeds to kidnap her and dangerously and carelessly drive her to the titular house of tortures.
Now - at no point in this movie, no one says that the creep's behavior is exceedingly creepy, what he does amounts to kidnapping and assault.
The first 20 minutes of the movie already paint a very dismal picture not of the satirical pseudo-society which is supposedly parodied by the director, but the very real society in which the movie was filmed. Those are the 20 minutes you need to see, tor realize how far we have come and that we have not, in fact have come far enough, and that the Mad Men and the assorted multiculturalists' "we're different therefore we're right and respect our culture "and thirdworldists' chorus of glorification of this time period and apology of the same behaviour now in 2019, is not fun, not "countercultural" not "sticking it to the SJW establishment" but plain old disgusting.
The rest of the movie is pretty much you standard, predictable 1970ies exploitation.
