House of Whipcord (1974)

In the eerie shadows of an antiquated house, an elderly man presides over a perverse correctional institute for girls, unaware that the world outside has moved on from his archaic concepts of justice. Trapped in a timeless prison of his own creation, he is aided by a stern matron who relishes in catching the girls off guard, staging mock trials where the old man, convinced of his judicial prowess, dispenses severe punishment. Each verdict culminates in a grim ritual where the girls are bound to a cross and subjected to a cruel whipping. Simultaneously, a twisted romance unfolds as the matron's son, ensnared by the allure of a beautiful girl at a party, brings her to the foreboding house, ignorant of the horrors that await her. This young French model, now ensnared in their sadistic game, becomes the latest victim of this deranged couple who have turned the old jail into their personal hunting ground. They relentlessly pursue young women whom they perceive have escaped the clutches of justice, delivering their own warped version of punishment. As the walls of the house close in, our heroine must outwit her captors and navigate the labyrinth of her prison or succumb to a chilling, almost certain demise. 'House of Whipcord' is a haunting tale that weaves a grim narrative of distorted justice and survival, where salvation hangs by a thread and every corner turned could lead to an inescapable trap.
